One would have thought that the Orioles would have taken their foot off the gas as they have long since put away the contenders in the AL East, but there is still work to be done. Baltimore trails the Los Angeles Angels by just 2.5 games and the top dog in the AL will be awarded home field advantage for as long as they remain in the playoffs, including the World Series. Boston started the season with a similar roster that won it all a year ago, but the motivation and chemistry had obviously changed. Now, after a fire sale, this team is all about rookies getting a chance to see what they can do on the big league level, and that hasn't aided their cause. Boston is just 10-20 in their last 30 games, and just got swept in Pittsburgh. Baltimore has crushed suspect pitching as they are 21-5 in their last 26 vs. a starter with a WHIP of greater than 1.30. Take Baltimore.
