Baltimore Orioles
2 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · MLA → SLA → BAL
Roto silverware has come to the Baltimore Orioles twice in 126 seasons, the last of it in 1971. All of them came by 1971, and the franchise has not topped the standings in the 55 seasons since. Their average finish is 13.5 all time, against 21.9 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to George Sisler in 1920, worth a 30.1 z-score. He owns 7 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: Jim Gentile, Lee May and Bob Nieman all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
