Draft slot race comes down to The Wire as the Rangers head to Baltimore: 9/23-26

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Here we are at the final away series of 2021, and the final 10 games of the season. Four against BAL, an incredibly soft opponent which doesn't bode well for the beloved Rangers. Although they did take a series from the Yankees recently, so perhaps the baseball gods will look favorably upon us. The lead over PIT is currently 2.5 games for slot #3, so this race will be a photo finish.

My prediction: 4-6 over the last 10 games, with a 1 game lead over PIT to win slot #3 when the dust has settled.

Otto/Howard/Lyles/Dunning are your starters for this set. All games at 6:05 save for Sunday, at 12:05.

El Bombi's main competition for ROY is an Oriole, statistically speaking, and they are tied in HR and RBI I believe. Be nice for Adolis to take the lead there.

Hopefully you’re right

Hopefully you’re right

Track record is nothing to write home about

I think we go 3-1 against the Orioles and 6-4 over the last 10. I think the Pirates finish 4-7 in their last 11. That means both teams finish with the same record and we get the 4th pick. Hopefully, I am at least, slightly off.

My thoughts were that we go 3-1 this weekend and the Pirates go 1-3. If we both split that would be fantastic.

Draft slot race down to the wire....lol

Siuch a dichotomy We have to lose to win. Balt at home so perhaps they show some respect to the home “crowd”. Crowd in the loosest sense possible

 

[Kelleyman]

No teams we are playing have anything to play for except the Os. They have a #1 draft slot in view

At least we can get 4 slot easily. Boils down to pitching.
Hard to predict record.

C'mon man, step it up and give us a prediction. The masses demand it. The masses, as in all 8 of us.

As an O’s fan, I hope for that or that you sweep us. With Arizona’s remaining games, we’ll need every loss to obtain that 1st pick.

Just do us a favor and have the O's pick someone with signability in mind first and foremost, someone that will sign under slot.

That’s what we’ve done the past couple of years. If we have the first pick, I have no clue if we’ll take BPA or not.

Well with Baltimore and Howard still trying to take baby steps and the book now out on Otto we go 2-2 due to Hime team advantage. That leaves us with Halos and last gasp of Tribe.
2-1 with Halos and 1-2 against soon to be defunct Tribe and us losing final game and the old timers In Cleveland rejoice one last time

Short version 5-5

which may not be enough unfortunately. Bucs will find a way to lose to Cubbies and Redlegs

Your thinking is almost exactly like mine with the exception of me giving us one more win against the O's.

This may be the first time anyone wanted my opinion
