The Orioles, fighting for their post-season lives, come to the Dome-by-the-Lake this weekend.

The Orioles are in tough as they try to return to the post-season, sitting 2.5 games out of the the playoffs. Everyone knows how lucky they were last season, but they also emerged as a legitimately good team over the last two months of the 2012 season. They've carried that over into this season, but their luck, so historically remarkable in 2012, has spun in the other direction. The 2013 Orioles have the worst record in the major leagues (16-27) in one-run games. That's with essentially the same team that posted one of the best records in such games in all recorded history. They certainly ought to be looking back at Tampa Bay and (especially) the Yankees.
