Although the Orioles do have somewhat of a stronghold on first place, the AL central is much closer than Baltimore's division. "It could still go either way," said Todd. "The Royals have a game and half on them, and Detroit has the better roster and they could still pull away with the division. But their rotation is shallow now. They might lose a couple due to that and it could be the difference."
This Orioles bullpen is really something special and the defense has been nothing short of spectacular.

Chris Davis hasn't helped compensate for the offensive or defensive loss at third base, as he's slumping on both sides of the ball. "He's been very inconsistent. That's the best way to put it," said Coleman. "They just need to hope that he trends upward soon and maybe that he makes some place at third as well."
"Davis has had a very up and down career," said Szymborski. "He's hitting .200 or less of late, and it's not really sustainable." Though many in Baltimore are a bit panicked after Machado's injury, Szymborski points out that every team has injuries, and many also have far worse scenarios as a road to the playoffs.
