MLB Trade Rumors has a poll wondering where the Orioles will finish this season. Choices are below .500, Playoff Berth, or above .500 without the playoffs.

Although I would love to have the Orioles go back to the playoffs this year, I'm thinking at best, the Orioles will finish above .500. What do you think?

I'll say 84 wins.

But I'm gonna pushing and hoping as best I can for a playoff spot. I think they have a legitimate, though still not favorable, shot at playing well enough down the stretch to earn one of those Wild Cards.

This will probably be the kiss of death but I'm feeling more strongly than ever that we finish over .500. No playoffs though as even though the AL wildcards record is down at the moment I still feel it'll take 90 wins to get in.

I think the Orioles will win 85 games, but miss the playoffs. Looking at the remaining schedule, I'm guessing we win 25 of the 50 games left.

Thats my line of thinking as well unless we make a few acquisitions to give us a little boost.

I'm starting to think we could actually get to 89-90 wins. Right now I see us as an 86/87 win team and it's not hard to imagine the Birds getting hot and taking two of three from Boston and the Rays at some point in their remaining schedule. Six games left against each I believe.
