The moneyline on this game has Baltimore…

The Orioles have not ruled out signing a veteran free agent for the rotation, but their choices are dwindling by the day. Baltimore could acquire a top arm via trade, but it's hardly a guarantee. Fans cannot fix up the O's and Marlins on a blind date regardless of how strong a match they appear to be. It's perfectly plausible that Mike Elias and…

Well, that was disappointing. The Orioles had a chance to go.500 in the month of May with a win last night. But instead they laid an absolute egg, falling 10-0 to the visiting Mariners. The lineup that Brandon Hyde deployed was this team's A-squad. Cedric Mullins was back atop the lineup. Adley Rutschman was behind the plate. Trey Mancini was in as…

Throughout the 162-game MLB season, there are always unpredictable or flat-out unexpected things that happen that can be filed under the ever-growing file of "that's baseball," in the words of Colorado Rockies manager Harry Ralston Black. Sometimes, they are just on a player level (this player breaks out, this player got injured, this player…

Several free agent starting pitchers have found homes elsewhere this winter, though there is still a talented group from which the Baltimore Orioles could choose. Unfortunately, their odds of ending up with another talented pitcher took yet another hit on Monday when free agent starter Chris Bassitt signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. There is a…

The long winter is almost over. Orioles baseball will be back in our lives tomorrow, or if it really rains a lot in Boston tomorrow, then it'll be back on Friday. The best thing that can be hoped for this season is that baseball in general, and the Orioles specifically, can get back to having normal problems, instead of pandemic problems. The…

Oriole Park at Camden Yards hosts a matchup between division rivals on Thursday afternoon. The Baltimore Orioles welcome the New York Yankees to town for the final game of a four-game set. New York brings baseball's best record to the table at 28-9, and the Yankees look for a sweep of the Orioles with a win. Baltimore is 14-24 overall this season…

AL East rivals collide when the Baltimore Orioles (6-12) travel to take on the New York Yankees (12-6) in an early-afternoon matchup on Thursday afternoon. New York has been playing well as of late, winning five straight games. Meanwhile, Baltimore is looking to halt its three-game slide. Left-hander Bruce Zimmermann (1-0, 1.20 ERA) is on the hill…

The Orioles are entering the third year of a massive rebuilding project under a new front office regime that's introducing the franchise to analytical data and the importance of international scouting. It's a whole new world that likely will produce the same old results in 2021. The team isn't ready to contend over a full season, especially in the…

Days are getting hotter, and drinks are getting colder as summer baseball heats up. With all 30 teams on the diamond today, we like a certain Blue Jays' hitter to keep crushing and a pair of pitchers to keep hitters guessing in our MLB player prop picks. It's a classic getaway day in MLB and with all 30 teams in action, there are player props to…

One thing is clear early in the season: neither New York nor Detroit can hit. But with Luis Severino facing Eduardo Rodriguez, our MLB betting picks think that gives the Yankees enough of an edge to come away with another low-scoring victory. After winning in truly ugly fashion yesterday, the New York Yankees will look to make it two in a row…

The non-tender deadline has just passed, leaving the Baltimore Orioles with a clearer picture of how their roster stands just before Thanksgiving. Given this deadline, I think it's worthwhile to take a look at the internal options on the Orioles 40 man roster for the starting rotation in 2023. After being used exclusively as a reliever in the…

If the Orioles aren't the most surprising team over the first half of the season, they're certainly among the top. Just about every expert who weighed in on the team before the 2022 campaign began expected 100+ losses again, and even fans who had some hopes of modest improvement didn't expect things to be too much better than that. With the Orioles…

A bad pitching night let Baltimore sneak a W in Toronto last night, handing the Jays just their fifth loss in the last 19 games. With Jose Berrios on the mound tonight, our MLB betting picks expect a typical Blue Jays showing vs. the Orioles. The Toronto Blue Jays' bats continue to make noise despite falling 6-5 in last night's game against the…

The starting pitchers are Michael Pineda (1-2) for the Detroit Tigers, and Bruce Zimmermann (2-1) for the Baltimore…

The Orioles' 2022 playoff hopes might be on their last legs after yesterday's dismal doubleheader sweep by the Blue Jays. But there's still plenty to be excited about in Birdland, and much of it stems from a fruitful Orioles farm system that has churned out plenty of young talent throughout the year. We've already seen the impactful debuts of Adley…
