After last night’s loss against the Blue Jays, the Orioles reached an important milestone in the 2024 season. With 40 games played and a 26-14 record, we’ve officially reached the quarter-mark of the season—and everything’s coming up Orioles. The O’s are perched atop the AL East, No. 1 in MLB.com’s team power rankings for the first time in the ranking’s history and undoubtedly the team to beat in the American League. Baltimore is currently first in the AL in runs scored, third in team ERA and on pace to best last season’s 101 wins.
These first 40 games were not without their surprise standouts and disappointments.
