You can certainly credit this Baltimore team, which has performed admirably under the watchful eye of Buck Showalter. But sooner or later the shortcomings in talent will prevail. The numbers are quite ugly with the O's, now 62-128 in their last 190 on the road and overall, the Orioles are just 60-138 inside the division. What is even uglier than that is the record when Bergeson takes the mound vs. the AL East, where the Orioles are a money-burning 4-18. Tampa Bay has recovered from a bad start to go 22-7 in their last 29 and are too talented, and too hot for the O's right now. Tampa Bay gets this one.
