Baltimore Orioles: Can July bring back-to-back winning months?

Whatever you want to call it, the Baltimore Orioles are collecting mini victories as they have secured a winning month. Can July look the same?

As you assuredly know by now, the Baltimore Orioles have secured their first winning month since 2017. Is this a turning point or just a painful reminder of the woeful past we have all seen for years? Regardless, it is something to be positive about moving into the future.

Speaking of the future, the Orioles also have a shot at having a winning record in July. 2017 was the last time they had earned a winning record in a month, but you have to go back even further to find when they won consecutive months, a lot further.

The Baltimore Orioles are certainly taking leaps and bounds in the right direction,  but will they be able to keep it up? Can key players stay healthy long enough to continue the grind? Will the trade market hinder their progress? All things are yet to be seen, but the schedule isn’t.

Baltimore Orioles: Can July bring back-to-back winning months?

Through the month of July, the Baltimore Orioles will play 25 games. July is pelted with road trips, homegrown excitement, and seven games against the Tampa Bay Rays. You read that right, seven. Besides that disappointing stat, there are some underlying things to be optimistic about.

Their toughest series’ are against the Twins and the Yankees, whom they only have to play three times apiece. Additionally, they’ll have three against the Rangers and Reds, four against the Angels, and two against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The road stands will be tough to compete with, but there are some formidable matchups incoming for the O’s if they aren’t careful.

Nothing says baseball like a fantastic July night, and we will all get to witness more than a few of them this month. Can the Birds keep their fire alive and roll through July with their youth, or will they become susceptible to the midseason madness? For us, we think they will prevail and give them a predicated 14-11 record through the month of July. What say you?
