Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles head-to-head record
The Baltimore Orioles won four of the last five games they've competed in opposition to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles' offense has been strong all season. They scored five runs or more in four of these tournaments, including a 9-2 win on June 9, 2024. On the other hand, the Rays haven't been able to keep up. Their only win was a narrow 4-3 battle on June 2, 2024. This means that the Orioles will probably keep using their strong offense to place pressure on the Rays. The Rays must have to find a way to stop Baltimore's bats and score more runs if they want to win.

| Jun 11, 2024 | Orioles 5-2 Rays |
| Jun 09, 2024 | Orioles 9-2 Rays |
