Team Stats
I just updated the team stats and graphs, and they’re worth checking out. The best team in the majors this year has been the St. Louis Cardinals. They’re the only team solidly above the .600 line, leading the majors in run differential (runs scored minus runs allowed) by a wide margin. Here’s a list of each team’s run differential:
Team RS RA Diff STL 542 414 128 BOS 575 494 81 CHC 470 391 79 CHW 532 471 61 ATL 479 418 61 NYY 557 499 58 OAK 506 453 53 LAD 465 413 52 ANA 517 467 50 TEX 555 508 47 SDP 460 419 41 HOU 474 438 36 MIN 478 453 25 DET 543 525 18 NYM 450 442 8 CLE 567 560 7 PIT 450 444 6 SFG 517 511 6 FLO 446 442 4 PHI 501 499 2 BAL 511 546 -35 MIL 408 448 -40 TOR 443 485 -42 TBD 448 491 -43 COL 548 601 -53 CIN 477 557 -80 SEA 420 512 -92 MON 360 481 -121 KC 413 560 -147 ARI 420 590 -170
I promise I’ll get to the individual stats later today.
Dave Studeman was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Follow his sporadic tweets @dastudes.
