That's insane. The odds of two 10+ point wins in a row (not to mention two shutouts) by a team as bad as Baltimore must be around one in a thousand.

The Orioles - yes those Orioles - are the first team in MLB history to post back-to-back shutouts of at least 13-0, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. In related news, the Indians are the first team in MLB history to get shut out by a score of at least 13-0 in back-to-back games.

Throw in that it was one of the worst teams in ML history and I would say probably just a bit higher than 1 in 1000 odds. Probably closer to one in a million.
