As for more in depth on whether or not he thinks the Orioles will make the playoffs Tom said "It's tough to predict the Orioles to win the division with how their starting rotation looks like right now."
Tom talked about some of the other teams in the AL East like the Tampa Bay Rays saying "I like the Rays, I don't know how they won 80 games last year...if they can be mediocre offensively I think they'll make the playoffs."
