Upsets are an important part of baseball. Without them, the game would probably become predictable and boring. This season alone there have been multiple upsets, with some big teams losing unexpectedly. Most recently, the Baltimore Orioles managed to pick up an epic series win in an upset against their division rivals, Tampa Bay Rays. Notably, given their flying start, the Rays are already a favorite for the World Series this year. But it was the Orioles who showed the Rays some class in a recent series.

The Orioles have struggled in recent years, missing out on the playoffs by a slim margin last season. But this year the O’s look to be in decent form. The upset series win will be a huge confidence booster and has got fans hyped up.

The reactions to this series win have been extremely positive.

Some fans were hyped about beating the Rays. 

Other fans said that the Orioles are back.

Last year, the Orioles missed the postseason by a narrow margin losing the final spot to the Tampa Bay Rays. They got into some competitive clashes during the season. But this season they are back with a vengeance. The team has a point to prove as they look ready to compete for a playoff berth.

The Orioles may still miss the postseason

Despite a massive series win over the Rays and a great season thus far, the Orioles may still miss the postseason. Experts and betting sites still project the Rays to win the AL East with the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays, qualifying as well. These projections put the Orioles in fourth place and outside the postseason. Only time will tell, with a vast majority of the season still left to play.
