There are lots of reasons to feel grateful about the 2024 Orioles: the AL’s best record (24-12), one of the game’s most dynamic offenses, consistent Top 3 placement in the power rankings. Baltimore has a bona fide ace in Corbin Burnes and several others convincingly playing one these days (Dean Kremer, John Means, Kyle Bradish and even Cole Irvin). Their young core of prospects is dynamic, making hard contact, and playing exciting baseball.
Here’s another reason to feel grateful: think back on where the team was this same point in the season a couple of years ago.
