Why the Engine Rates Chicago This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Chicago around the middle of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+56), an unreliable bullpen and limited speed. Strong run production is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.12 ranks 14th in MLB, and they score 4.79 runs per game (5th).
