so whats wrong with the Orioles? they have the worst record of any division leader in baseball.
From a numbers perspective, it's the same "problem" the O's had when they made the playoffs a few years ago - they're nearly last in starting rotation ERA, and they are dead last in innings from their starting pitchers. All things I harped on last time and was proven wrong when they held on and I'm sure the O's brass think the same will happen again this year. But normally, poor starting pitching and over reliance on the long ball are a recipe for disaster.
