Why the Engine Rates Flushing This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Flushing in the bottom half of MLB because the club owns a negative run differential (-32), almost no threat on the bases and one of the weakest defensive profiles in baseball. A below-average bullpen is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.15 ranks 17th in MLB, and they score 4.31 runs per game (20th).
