With the shutout of the Rangers (note that they started the Philly series with one as well), the Orioles runs-against is holding steady at 901. To reach 1,000, would need to average 11 RA/G the remaining 9 games. To reach 2019's 981, 8.9 RA/G.

So to jinx them I'll call it exceptionally unlikely.  They're on pace for 954, which would be the 52nd-worst total of all time.  25th-worst since 1900. 

In context adjusted terms their 80 ERA+ is something like 30th-worst among AL/NL/FL teams since 1900.  Worst team since 1900 was the 1915 A's with a 68, meaning their whole staff was the equivalent of 2021 Adam Plutko.

There have only been 11 teams since 1900 to allow 1000+ runs, surprisingly only one Colorado team.  The 1996 Tigers allowed 1103.  The '30 Phils 1199 in just 154 games.  Baker Bowl was a bloodbath for Phillies' pitchers, allowing almost 8.5 runs a game there.

I, of course, agree--that would have to be quite a powerful jinx.
