Move them to Montreal

The thing with run differential is that it's always the best bet in the long run, but it's never a sure thing. And there's not enough left for there to be a long run, so the Orioles have as good a chance as anyone.

It would be the height of awesomeness if the O's get crushed a couple times the rest of the way, then squeak out a bunch of one-run wins and take the division while allowing more runs than they scored.
Gotta think that would be a first, but maybe not?
