Here's a fun statistical oddity for you to share around the water cooler tomorrow morning. The Baltimore Orioles have a .700 winning percentage when their games go longer than 9 innings. That's right, the Orioles are 7-3 in games that are decided in extra innings this season... and 30-63 overall.
In fact, their winning percentage as a whole this season is .323 (as of 2pm EST on Wednesday). It is almost the exact inverse of their winning percentage in extra inning games.
Perhaps what may surprise you the most is that they are also 15-13 in games decided by one run. In other words, the Orioles are 30 runs allowed away from being 15-88 on the season. That's bad. That's really bad.
In other fun team stats, the Royals are actually the best extra-inning team in baseball with a 7-2 record. The Reds are the only other teams with 7 extra inning wins. And, in case you were wondering, Florida (1-5) and Washington (1-6) are the worst extra inning teams.
That is all.
