No. 2 Baltimore Orioles

Standings: 4-1 (1st in AL East)

Outlook: It's no shock that the Orioles picked up where they left off last season. Baltimore swept their two-game series with the Blue Jays then followed that up by taking two of three games from the Yankees. Their strong start can only help the Orioles in a competitive AL East. Chris Davis has led the way for Baltimore hitting .333 to start the season. It has been a slow start from some of their other bats, and Baltimore will look to pick it up as the season continues. The Orioles have a difficult upcoming stretch of games as they are on the road for the next week and a half. The Orioles head to Boston then to Toronto for three-game series with each squad. It will be a week of AL East battles as the Orioles look to continue separating from the other teams but could also lose ground if they are not careful. (Getty)
