The Baltimore Orioles' 2024 season has turned into a rollercoaster ride, marked by a promising start and a troubling slump. Initially, they dominated their opponents, leading many to view them as strong playoff contenders.

However, injuries have severely impacted their performance, with several key players sidelined. This decline has prompted ESPN's Bradford Doolittle to assign them a B- for their regular-season efforts.

Despite making strategic acquisitions to bolster their pitching, the team continues to struggle, especially in their offensive lineup. As the playoffs approach, questions loom about their ability to regain their first-half form.
