Littell’s Bold Move on Capitol Hill: What’s Really at Stake?

Before the season began, if you had to pick between the Orioles and the Rays for who would be the worse of the two squads, you probably would’ve guessed the Orioles. Baltimore is not having a good season. They are the lone team in the division that is under .500 for the season, currently 11 games under. They have improved a bit since May 30th when they started a series against the White Sox. At the beginning of the day they were 19-36, and have gone 11-5 since that point. The question is if they are turning the corner or not. In that span they have made three different sweeps. Today they send out Dean Kremer who has a 5-7 record with a 4.99 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. Kremer has been awful on the road this year with a 6.33 ERA and 34 runs allowed in 48.1 innings. He has made nine road starts, and allowed five or more earned runs in five of them. He only has one quality start on the road this season as well. Overall, the Rays are hitting just .250 against Kremer.
