BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - APRIL 30: Starting pitcher Chris Bassitt #40 of the Baltimore Orioles works the first inning against the Houston Astros in game one of a doubleheader at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on April 30, 2026 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) | Getty Images It’s been a rough couple of days for the Orioles. That series in the Bronx was an absolute disaster, and it likely has the entire clubhouse on edge. Those games felt like they were from another era. It had early-2000s vibes, a time when the Yankees still had most of the players from their dynasty of the 1990s, and the Orioles were in the midst of a run that featured exactly zero winning seasons between 1998 and 2011. No major changes for the O’s are on the immediate horizon though. That’s likely because it’s May. There is little to be done. The team simply has to survive this wave. They can either rise above and get their feet under them, or they can be pulled under and crushed by the weight of it all. Fingers crossed. Chris Bassitt is on the bump. He has been one of the team’s bright spots lately. Over his last four starts he has thrown a total of 21.2 innings and has a 2.92 ERA. The peripherals aren’t as pretty (4.16 FIP, eight walks, 14 strikeouts), but we will take what we can get right now. The Marlins aren’t coming in with the best form. They lost three of four to the Phillies this weekend, and scored a total of six runs over their last three games. So, maybe the Orioles actually have a chance? We’ll see. **Orioles lineup**
