Human Factors
At 6;000 feet AGL; we called BWI in sight. Approach told us we needed to be below 4;000 feet to be cleared for the approach to 10. I was Pilot Monitoring. The Pilot Flying configured the aircraft to landing configuration to execute a faster descent. While descending; we were vectored off the arrival. We focused on the descent more than our bearing to the airport due to a clear and a million day. We knew the airport was to our left. We were cleared for the visual to Runway 10. We turned toward the runway at BWI that we saw. As we got closer to BWI; we noticed the LOC wouldn't capture. As we were beginning discussion about this; Approach switched us to Tower. While trying to figure out why our NAV aids were off; Tower notified us immediately we were lined up for Runway 15. We were approximately six miles out. He asked if we would like 15R instead and cleared us to land. BWI Tower was amazing and professional in coming up with a solution fast. Our other option was to go-around (which we almost did; but Tower rectified the situation so fast). We landed 15R with no further issue.

Air Carrier flight crew on visual approach to BWI lines up on the wrong runway. Tower Controller notifies crew of this and offers them that runway which the crew accepts for landing.
