Each week on Camden Chat, we’ve been checking in on the American League postseason contenders. The Orioles are, despite their recent efforts, technically among that group. Let’s look at how things played out this week.
AL East
| Team | W | L | PCT | GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York Yankees | 75 | 53 | 0.586 | -- |
| ORIOLES | 74 | 55 | 0.574 | 1.5 |
In general I have tried to avoid the pessimistic doomsaying that has become a common theme on Orioles Twitter and elsewhere.
