26. Orioles

Average game score: 49.7
Dominance rank: 20 | Consistency rank: 19
Gems: 28 | Eggs: 29
Rotation: Cole Irvin (8-21), Kyle Gibson (10-19), Dean Kremer (8-19), Kyle Bradish (11-15), Tyler Wells (4-6), Grayson Rodriguez (12-13), DL Hall (6-3), John Means (3-5)
It doesn't look good on paper, but the Orioles have been putting their systems in place under Mike Elias for a few years now. You hope there is a reason they identified Irvin and Gibson as the veterans who can provide stability as Rodriguez, Hall, Bradish and all the young hurlers find their way. The Orioles showed some real strength in the way they built their bullpen last season, so maybe they can make a similar leap in the starting pitching department.
26th overall seems low to me. I'd be pretty disappointed and surprised if the O's weren't middle of the pack rotation wise. IMO, there's upside to be better.
