The Orioles finally know their opponent for the Wild Card series. The preparation will get a lot easier.The Royals clinched the No. 5 seed and will come to Camden Yards for Tuesday’s Game 1, setting up a rematch of the 2014 Championship Series that began the Orioles' eight-game playoff losing streak.

The Baltimore Orioles won 91 games this season, and for much of the second half, it felt like a disappointment. At any point in the previous 40 years, that sentence would’ve been absurd to write about this franchise.

Instead of finishing off that sweep, the Twins finished the season 12-27 — just one game better than the historically bad Chicago White Sox in that span and third-worst in MLB — going from a better-than 90% chance to make the playoffs to finishing fourth in the American League Central Division and four games out of a playoff spot.

Today was the final day of the regular season, and while there was plenty of drama around the league, the Orioles game was about as chill as you could get. A solid starting pitching performance followed by a few home runs and in the end it was a 6-2 victory over the Twins and a series sweep to wrap things up.
