The Baltimore Orioles are back in the postseason for the first time since 2016. The next step for the Orioles would be to clinch the AL East Division, earn the #1 seed in the American League, and avoid having to play on Wildcard Weekend. The Orioles split their four-game series this weekend with the Rays by winning the final two games after dropping the first two. On Sunday, the Orioles pulled out a thrilling 5-4 11-inning win thanks to a sacrifice fly from Cedric Mullins in the bottom of the 11th inning. They now have three games in hand in the loss column with the Rays.

The Orioles will give the ball to left-hander Means to start this potential playoff-preview series with the Astros. This will just be Means second start of the season for the Orioles. Means has missed nearly all of the past two seasons following Tommy John surgery. He took the loss against the Cardinals in his first start back afte r going five innings and allowing five hits and three runs, only two of which were earned. He didn't walk anyone and struck out one in the start.
