As of this writing, the Baltimore Orioles are taking it to the 6-1 Pittsburgh Pirates in front of the snow and their fans as they look to hand them their second loss of this young MLB season.
The Pirates are hoping to have a much better season in 2024 than they had in 2023 when they finished the MLB campaign 10 games under .500 with a 76-8 record. That was a bad enough record to finish in fourth place in the National League Central, 16 games behind the first-place Milwaukee Brewers.
The Orioles, on the other hand, are hoping to have the same if not even better year as they won 101 games last MLB season and finished in first place in the American League East, via Wikipedia.
