Hello, friends.
We arrive on this, the last day of April, with the Orioles still holding the second-best American League record at 18-9. They remain on pace for 108 wins after 16.7% of the season has been played. They would be tied for the lead if not holding the lead outright in four of the other five divisions. These things are fun facts. One less fun fact still looms: After the first few days of May, the Orioles are going to start playing better teams and they’re going to need to tighten some things up to keep on anything like this great pace.
