Why the Engine Rates Detroit This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Detroit around the middle of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+71), an unreliable bullpen and almost no threat on the bases. A strong pitching staff is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 3.67 ranks 6th in MLB, and they score 4.46 runs per game (14th).
