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).
White Sox: the engine ranks their offence 5th in MLB at 4.79 runs per game, and their staff sits 14th on earned run average (4.12), while the bullpen grades weak on save conversion.
