Why the Engine Rates Arlington This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Arlington in the bottom half of MLB because the club owns a negative run differential (-46), a below-average offence and patchy recent form. Excellent defence is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.32 ranks 22nd in MLB, and they score 4.15 runs per game (25th).
