With less than four months until the season opener, here’s how the Baltimore Ravens’ schedule stacks up, with games ranked from least to most difficult.

Reacting to the Ravens’ regular-season slate.

It was the first outing of the year in which Foster Griffin failed to complete five innings, and his ERA jumped from 2.12 to 3.53 after his start.

“With all of the changes that have happened over time, the evolution of this game, a couple things always stay true. It’s starting pitching, and defense, timely hitting,” manager Craig Albernaz said.

Laurel Park is about to be in the national spotlight as never before as it hosts the second jewel of the Triple Crown for the first time.

Bradish made an alteration to his delivery ahead of his start last week, and it led to a seven-inning, three-run performance against the Athletics. He was even better in Wednesday’s 7-0 victory against the New York Yankees.

The Orioles activated catcher Maverick Handley to fill that roster spot Wednesday during the series finale against the New York Yankees.

Since returning from injury, Luis Garcia Jr. has been on a tear, and his torrid pace continued in Tuesday’s 10-4 win.

The third inning in the Orioles-Yankees game was enough for a case study in how to lose a baseball game.

When Rutschman made the leap to the majors, he demolished fastballs but struggled against breaking balls and off-speed pitches. That's changed in 2026.

It’s a big moment for Laurel Park, which has had its own storied history in the racing industry, dating back to opening day in October 1911.

“It’s not enough, no,” trainer Brad Cox said. “A lot of the trainers that have the success at the top level with these 3-year-olds would tell you that you would like more than three weeks.”

“I don’t take it for granted, every single day,” Sherry said. “It’s been 20-something years here at this ballpark, but that young girl in me still remembers that field trip, and the feeling I had when I walked out on that field."

Baltimore’s pitching staff kept the offense close enough for Mayo’s one swing to be the difference, and it began with right-hander Brandon Young.

Basallo has been one of Baltimore’s best hitters. He has a .270 average and an .803 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

In a 14-horse field that’s without the top two Derby finishers and a Bob Baffert trainee who was expected to be a top contender, Iron Honor is now seen as the favorite.
