Why the Engine Rates Sacramento This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Sacramento among the weakest clubs in baseball because the club owns a negative run differential (-168), poor recent form and one of the weakest pitching staffs in baseball. Below-average defence is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 5.45 ranks 29th in MLB, and they score 4.34 runs per game (20th).
