Not So Cool Standings For The O’s?

It’s amazing that, even at this date, Cool Standings only gives the Orioles a 31% chance of making the post-season:
Then again, that’s better than what the World Champion Cardinals had this time last year. And, it worked out for them.
It will be interesting. The O’s still have a trip to the west coast to make, playing the A’s & M’s. But other than those 6 games, they’re playing AL East opponents.
Hmmm. Watching the game tonight (writing this in the 6th inning) makes you wonder which team has the 31% chance.
@ ken:
A very quiet, quick game. Shut down

It’s not that that amazing when you consider they’ve let up 39(!) more runs than they’ve scored and they only have a 2.5 game lead on the second wild card spot.
