Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles have seen major success this season, leading the Rays in both division lead and the American League's best record. Although ranked 22nd in walk rate, the Orioles offense can easily drive up pitch counts and find a hole in the defense. As a team, they rank 10th in slugging percentage, while avoiding strikeouts, stealing bases, and being ranked 7th in offense. On the mound, their bullpen leads the majors in WAR and FIP, but now have a clipped wing with All-Star closer Felix Bautista being injured. Their recent acquisition of Jack Flaherty had some tough luck in the last three outings, but the veteran has plenty of pennant chase experience and carries a power ranking of 8. The Orioles currently have a stellar record of 82-51-1.
