The Baltimore Orioles continue to prove to that you can build a great team from within.
They are not a franchise that spends a lot of money in free agency.
Luckily, they have done a fantastic job of drafting.
Currently, the Orioles have the best record in the American League.
They are set to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Also, the Orioles are on pace to reach an impressive milestone.
That is 100 wins for the season.
According to MLB Network, the Orioles are on pace for 102 wins.
The only four times they have won more than 100 games in franchise history, they reached the World Series.

The Orioles have shown no signs of slowing down and are proving that this is not a fluke.
With a record of 87-51, the Orioles are 3.5 games up on the Tampa Bay Rays for the top record in the AL East.
Whichever team wins the East will most likely have the number one seed in the AL.
Having that home-field advantage throughout the playoffs can be crucial.
It looks like the biggest threat to the Orioles reaching the World Series is the Houston Astros.
The Astros are the defending champs and know what it takes to win in the playoffs.
Also, they seem to be getting hot at the right time.
It will be a ton of fun to see the Orioles back in the playoffs.
They are a fun team that has a very bright future.
Even if they cannot make the World Series this year, they seem destined to in the near future.
