That rule was changed after the 2017 season.  Best record among the pennant winners gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

I have a feeling the AL playoff teams are pretty much set.

Real simple. Abolish divisions. Balanced schedule. Take the best 6 or 8 or however many teams. Seed them by record. Re-seed each round. Boom! Done!

Boston up on Tampa by 1 in the 8th. 

We get 7 more with Boston. They have pitching issues but they can score a lot of runs. I doubt they can knock us out of the playoffs in the final 4 game series with them to end the year like we did to them 2011, but they'll be dangerous if TB is still only a game or two back and possibly push us out of the division lead if Toronto hasn't completely folded.

Fangraphs has the O’s with a 100% chance to make the playoffs, while BB-ref says >99.9%.   As of now, the 6th spot is at .558 winning percentage, which projects to 90-91 wins.  The O’s could go 7-19 and top that.   But, I’d rather they didn’t.  

Yeah, I doubt we'd not win another game this season and miss the playoffs, I wouldn't be shocked if we can't get some separation with TBR that we don't win the division. They are in the midst of an 18-game in a row stretch iirc. Plenty of top pitching and desperate teams ahead of them.

Now is my first time noticing Tampa's Games 160-162 are at Toronto, so count me in for hoping the Blue Jays hang in the wildcard race until the final weekend.

TEX's older roster fighting it some in the dog days - tomorrow looks like they are returning Eovaldi for an Astros matchup without any rehab following a 6-week absence.     Scherzer the game after that for his Wednesday showdown with Verlander.     HOU took 7-4 lead in season series with TEX today to guarantee that tiebreaker.

Huge 4 game series TEX@TOR starts tomorrow. Hopefully for Orioles, MIN will be more help than SEA was. 7 teams for 6 spots 

For conversation sake- assuming BAL wins at least one of 4 vs TB

If BAL goes 10-10, TB needs to go 13-5 to win division

The next 7 games after STL will give us an idea of what to expect next month. Tampa and Houston is gonna be tough. Also I’m really not looking forward to that 4 game series with Boston to close the season. I feel better about our chances with the Rays than the Sox. Need to take care of business this weekend and we can coast.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
