BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — The Baltimore Orioles enter Friday’s homestand opener still chasing the American League wild card, sitting three games back with an elimination number of seven on the league standings board.
Official MLB standings list the Orioles at 75-78. Cleveland sits at 78-75 atop the wild-card board, with Toronto and Texas both at 76-77 — two games back of that group and one game ahead of Baltimore in the chase table. Chicago leads the AL Central at the same 78-75 mark as Cleveland.
Milwaukee arrives at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for a 7:05 p.m. Eastern first pitch Friday. The Brewers are 95-58 and carry a clinched mark in the National League Central. Milwaukee’s probable pitcher is posted as Dustin May; Baltimore’s starter was not listed on the same schedule board overnight.
Shore fans get a September series with playoff math still alive for Baltimore against a club that has already secured its division.
