Baltimore Orioles Jump Three Spots In MLB Power Rankings

Holliday's efforts, along with some better overall play, helped the Orioles jump from No. 27 to No. 24 in the latest MLB Power Rankings, according to MLB.com.

Holliday, from that leadoff spot, is smashing the ball at a .287 clip. That's good news for Baltimore. But it didn't help the good vibes as the Orioles lost two of three games against the Athletics recently.

Baltimore Orioles have work to do in order to get back into AL East Division discussion

Talk about a downer. Well, Baltimore is still working hard to get out of the hole in the American League East Division. It's going to take a lot of work on the Orioles' part.

Their starting pitching remains so-so as interim manager Tony Mansolino looks to find some magic among his arms. Thankfully, Mansolino and the rest of the Orioles get to watch Holliday work his magic every night.

Holliday is just 22 years old, and he's going to get better. That's something Orioles fans hope to see not only in this current hot stretch, but throughout the summer months.

What are the Orioles' goals this week? Probably to keep pulling themselves up and out of the doldrums. That difficult start to the 2025 season didn't do Baltimore any favors. Now, their work this summer begins in earnest this week.
