MLB Shockwave: Tigers Seize Top Spot as Dodgers Stumble and Mets Ignite a Fierce Comeback!
25. Baltimore Orioles (22-36) 📉
Much worse. The O’s were supposed to be squarely in the AL East race, not sinking to the bottom of the standings due to a woefully ill-equipped pitching staff and firing their manager in early May. With several intriguing trade candidates on the roster (Ryan O’Hearn, Cedric Mullins, Zach Eflin), Baltimore could cash in considerably as sellers at next month’s deadline. That was not the plan for this season in March.
26. Pittsburgh Pirates (22-37) 📉
Worse. While Oneil Cruz taking a meaningful step toward full-blown stardom has been a nice silver living, this offense remains maddeningly unqualified to support a solid pitching staff headlined by a generational mound talent in Paul Skenes. Add in season-ending elbow surgery for Jared Jones, and it’s difficult to identify many things that have gone right for Pittsburgh in 2025 beyond Cruz and Skenes’ continued brilliance. The NL’s longest playoff drought appears likely to extend another year.
