The Orioles are the team I'm most certain will make the playoffs.  Look at the playoff odds of the remaining team.  No other team is in double digits.  Hell, the TOTAL playoff odds of the four other teams in the AL East is 12!

birds are going to sail into the postseason.

Incorrect use of metaphor.   Birds fly, then don't sail.

The Orioles starters aren't what you want for a deep playoff run.

I don't care who the Nats face if they make the World Series, they stack up with any team on paper.

The Orioles have a 96.5% chance of making the ALDS, according to FanGraphs.

That makes them the second-most likely team to make the playoffs.

There is one team with a 98.8% chance of making the playoffs.

Guess who!

The Orioles are completely unchallenged in the AL East.  It's men against boys.  That's not the case with Nationals.

Wonder if you got pissed when Scott Olsen took a no no into the 8th and Hudsen said afterward that Olsen didn't have "no hit stuff".

I love when anyone says a no hitter into the 7th or 8th isn't because of the pitcher.  A no hitter into the 7th or 8th against AAA players is commendable but against any MLB team it is the real deal.

Until teams combat and figure out how to hit against it shame on them. 

The Wildcat offense was insanely efficient in the NFL until teams schemed against it.
