CLS Score
7th unluckiest of 30 in the MLB

Orioles deserve more. 63 wins vs 61.7 expected from their run differential. The bats and pitching are good enough, but the sequencing hasn't cooperated. The 162-game grind tends to even this out. Top driver: Batting Luck (-17.7 CLS impact). wOBA 0.308 vs xwOBA 0.318 - hard contact not converting into hits
