The Orioles turned Busch Stadium into their personal batting cage Tuesday night, shellacking the Cardinals 13-1 in a game that stopped being competitive somewhere around the third inning. Baltimore's offense was relentless, piling up runs like they were going out of style while St. Louis pitching served up meatballs on a silver platter.
This wasn't a baseball game—it was a clinic in offensive efficiency versus complete organizational collapse. The Cardinals' lone run felt like a participation trophy, a mercy acknowledgment that they showed up wearing uniforms. Meanwhile, Baltimore did everything right: timely hitting, aggressive baserunning, and enough power to make you wonder if the Cardinals were using a Little League pitching staff.
St. Louis has serious questions to answer about their pitching depth after getting torched like this at home. Getting boat-raced 13-1 isn't just losing—it's embarrassing. The Orioles, meanwhile, are rolling and look like a team that can beat you ten different ways. When your offense clicks like this, you're dangerous against anybody.
DarkHorse didn't publish a pick here, which is probably for the best—sometimes the smart money is staying on the sidelines. But if you had Baltimore, congratulations on the easiest winner of your week.
