The tie breakers are huge. 

[eddie83]

On “paper” to me the Orioles weakest part of the remaining schedule is the rest of this month and then at start of Sept. You could argue starting with last 3 games at COL. 

Edited July 23 by eddie83

[eddie83]

Worth noting the upcoming Yankees schedule. Very much in their favor. All AL contenders are done playing today except HOU.

Just get me one of those spots, I don't care which one. 

[bpilktree67]

Taking 3 out of 4 vs the Jays but losing a half game hurts especially when the Yanks had the Phillies in a 3 game series.  The Phillies are now 4-11 vs the current playoff teams in the AL.

I'm at the Jersey shore and I want to roll my eyes at everyone I see in Phillies gear. Losing a 6-5 game with all six runs driven in by D.J. LeMahieu?

They are definitely struggling I think I saw 4-12 in last 16 games.

Feels like all the top contenders had lousy July’s.  

[OrioleintheATL]

The Yankees are one Soto or Judge injury like Westburg's away from finishing second in the AL East.  I those two stay healthy, they win the East I think.  Just too many broke dick dog teams left for them to play.  But either of those guys goes down for an extended time and they are screwed.

[eddie83]

Yankees just won. Big week for Boston. They play KC then HOU.
CLE plays MIN 4 games late in week

[Just Regular]

A nice balance to the calendar for BAL-NYY.

49 games, 8 weeks, 56 days.

Thanks @eddie83for the layout, makes it easy to scan that 3rd week from now our final 7-game week.    At least an off day a week all September as you game out how much to throw your top pitchers as the finish line draws near.

[LGOrioles]

Minnesota: 18-2 against OAK and CWS, 44-46 against everyone else

KC: 16-3 against OAK and CWS, 47-47 against everyone else 

 

As we’ve seen for the O’s, it’s not always easy winning against bad teams, but I thought it was interesting seeing these numbers. They’re also a combined 52-65 against teams over .500. They’ve pretty much taken advantage of a historically bad CWS team in their division to be in WC spots. 

[oriolediehard]

Years the Yankees and O's were in a tight race that went to the Yankees:

1964                
1977                
1980
1981
1994
1996
2012
Years the Yankees and O's were in a tight race, the O's won.

1974, 1997

 

[sportsfan8703]

As another poster pointed out, we're 8-1 out of the break in games that Burnes, Grayson, and Eflin, start.  1-7 with the others.  Now that the others consist of Kremer and Rogers versus Kremer, Suarez, Povich, and McDermott, I expect us to have more consistent/better results going forward.  

The bullpen is coming together too.  

It would be really good to secure home field advantage, and avoid the first rd.
