Alex Anthopoulos attributes Baltimore's success this season to their strong bullpen, an aspect that he wants Toronto to emulate.

"I think the one thing, the way the bullpen's performed. I don't know what you can emulate, guys are having great years, it doesn't mean they're not good, but ERAs in the ones and the low twos, but I think contending teams are always going to have to have a good bullpen. I don't know that there's many teams that contend that have weak bullpens," Anthopoulos said when asked what has made the Orioles successful.

"So, that's the thing that jumps out about that team and people can debate the one-run games, there's all kinds of reasons I know, people have talked about run differential with them, I think the Diamondbacks one of the years they made the postseason, they had a negative run differential as well. But the thing that jumps out for them is certainly the bullpen and the strength of the pen."
