Why the Engine Rates Minneapolis This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Minneapolis around the middle of MLB because the club owns a negative run differential (-58), one of the weakest pitching staffs in baseball and almost no threat on the bases. Excellent defence is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.56 ranks 25th in MLB, and they score 4.56 runs per game (10th).
