From June 21 st-July 13 th, they’ll play 20 straight against teams not in the AL East. The Orioles are in their longest stretch of not playing the AL East. This year, the Orioles played against the AL East exclusively from May 16 th-May 30 th, 15 consecutive games, One team in each division must play out of the division at all times, but having most of the Orioles’ games against the AL East in April and September might not be as interesting as spacing them out. When the 2023 schedule is released, it will be fascinating to see if Major League Baseball will want to begin and end the season with divisional play as they have in the past. The Orioles will play a three-game series and a four-game series at home and away with each of the four divisional rivals. Those quirks should be eliminated with the new schedule. In the final 101 games, the Orioles and Toronto play 19 times, but not in Baltimore until August 8 th. They didn’t play the Blue Jays until June 13 tth. The Orioles were supposed to open the season with a series against Toronto at home, but because of the lockout that series will end the season from October 3 rd-5 th. Theoretically, the series can be spread out, and the Orioles could play the Yankees a series once a month from April-September, but it never works out that way. In the current system, each AL teams plays three series at home and away against each other.
