Narrative:
We were taxiing out of the alleyway from gate at O'hare (ord) airport. Between XA56Z and XB11Z received taxi instructions to follow air carrier out taxiway A12 to taxiway M2 to taxiway M to runway 27L. Later, the taxi instructions were amended to go out taxiway A13 to taxiway M2 and taxiway M and follow the MD80. The MD80 (aircraft) was eastbound on taxiway B and made a right turn out taxiway M2. We proceeded out taxiway A13 and upon reaching taxiway B we noted that a B737 was on taxiway B approaching us at such a rate that stopping on taxiway B would have put us nose-to-nose to the B737, and possibly the B737 would not have been able to stop. I elected to make a left turn on taxiway B to avoid the B737. Ground control told us to continue on taxiway B and take taxiway M5 to taxiway M. There was not a conflict and ground control made no other reference to the situation.
