The Baltimore Orioles have five teams ahead of them for the final Wild Card slot. Tampa Bay is one game worse on the season than the Birds, and have seven teams in front of them. With the season over for these teams, that often makes the task at hand a much taller order for the road team, with little to play for, and no role as a spoiler. Chris Tillman and Matt Moore have both struggled on the season. Perhaps the upside belongs to Matt Moore down the stretch as he is battling his way back off Tommy John surgery. He has also neutralized O's hottest hitter, Chris Davis (3-15 lifetime vs. Moore). The O's have been poor behind Tillman in division games at 2-18 in his last 10 starts, as well as losing his last five starts overall. It's hard to grab any oxygen at this point for Baltimore on the road. Play on Tampa Bay.
