It's also not that ridiculous to think Baltimore will slow down. They're third in the league in total offense per ops+, but middle of the pack in run prevention. So you have a team that's great at scoring and mediocre at preventing. Not hard to realize they're probably a pretty good but not great team.

As opposed to Toronto, who's 4th in offense and 2nd in run prevention. You would assume that Toronto would produce a better record since they're outscoring their opponents by a larger margin. Obviously doesn't always play out that way but over time those numbers are far more indicative of future results.

But of course Baltimore is being talked down, so it feels ridiculous.
