Why the Engine Rates Sacramento This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Sacramento in the bottom half of MLB because the club owns a negative run differential (-238), one of the weakest pitching staffs in baseball and poor recent form. Excellent defence is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 5.51 ranks 29th in MLB, and they score 4.31 runs per game (20th).
