Five things that must happen for Orioles to make playoffs
Win on the road
The Orioles are great at Camden Yards, better than any team in the AL at 39-17. Only the National League Central’s Chicago Cubs have more home wins than the Orioles.
But that road record, 27-34, is much less desirable. When I recently wrote about the Orioles’ road troubles, one commenter on our Facebook page asked, almost defensively, “How many teams are good on the road?”
The answer: Of the seven clubs currently playing .560 or better baseball, only the Orioles have a losing road record. It’s just one of those baseball truisms – good teams win on the road. The Orioles have 20 games away from Camden Yards remaining, and they need to make the most of them. Not sure what the formula is – more focus? – but it’s imperative to turn more than half of those contests into victories.
