The best team in the American League is right back in action on Monday night. It’s fun to say that about the Orioles! Their record speaks for itself, even if not every site that puts out power rankings (cough, FanGraphs) agrees unanimously. You really have to ignore what has actually happened to reach any different conclusion.
This does not guarantee that the Orioles will be the best team the rest of the way, of course. But they are where they are right now and it’s not an accident. If they can keep putting their best foot forward while overcoming the injuries and ineffectiveness that can plague any team, there’s no reason they can’t stay up top.
