Why the Engine Rates Boston This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Boston in the upper third of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+78), a below-average offence and limited speed. A dependable bullpen carries the rating, and speed is the one department holding them back. Their staff ERA of 3.54 ranks 3rd in MLB, and they score 4.25 runs per game (23rd).
