Orioles roundtable: Answering questions about Baltimore’s AL East chances, John Means, the September bullpen and more

The stretch run is here, and the Orioles enter it as the American League’s best team. Baltimore (83-50) is on pace to win 101 games — potentially reaching the century mark for the first time since 1980 — after going 18-9 in August. But the Tampa Bay Rays kept pace with a 17-8 mark to remain just 1 1/2 games back of the Orioles atop the AL East. With 29 games remaining, FanGraphs gives the Orioles a 99.9% chance to make the playoffs, but playing well enough down the stretch to win the division and enter the postseason on a high note is critical. With about one month remaining in the regular season, Baltimore Sun Orioles reporters Nathan Ruiz and Jacob Calvin Meyer and editor Tim Schwartz answer five questions facing the team. Will the Orioles win the AL East? Ruiz: Yes.
