The Mariners, who have won 11 in a row, and the Orioles, winners of 10 straight, have played their way into the AL wild-card race.
The Yankees and the Astros are the class of the American League, but they aren’t the two hottest teams in baseball.The Seattle Mariners — who rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the host Rangers 6-5 on Thursday night — have now won 11 in a row and have surged to a 48-43 record. They would be one of the wild cards if the season ended today.
The Baltimore Orioles may be an even bigger surprise. The O’s, who were off on Thursday, have won 10 consecutive games and have moved over .500 with a 45-44 record, just 1 ¹/₂ games out of a wild-card spot. The Rays , Blue Jays , Red Sox and Indians are the other teams battling for the three wild-card spots in the AL.
The Orioles’ run also has caught the attention of their long-suffering fan base, who let their voices be heard during Baltimore’s 7-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night.After the win, the Orioles heard chants of “Let’s Go O’s!” at Wrigley Field, where they were playing their first series since 2014.
“We feel every bit of Birdland, especially here,” said starter Spenser Watkins, who picked up his third victory of the season in the win. “You have ‘O’ chants going on in Wrigley Field. That’s pretty cool.” The 10-game winning streak is the Orioles’ longest in a single season since they won 13 in a row from Sept. 7-22, 1999. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the only team with a longer current drought without a double-digit win streak in a season are the Miami Marlins, which have never had one.
