Why the Engine Rates Chicago This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Chicago around the middle of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+37), almost no threat on the bases and an unreliable bullpen. A below-average offence is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.11 ranks 13th in MLB, and they score 4.76 runs per game (8th).

8th Day Engine Insight

White Sox: the engine ranks their offence 8th in MLB at 4.76 runs per game, and their staff sits 13th on earned run average (4.11), while the bullpen grades weak on save conversion.

Offense = runs per game + OPS · Pitching = ERA + WHIP · Bullpen = save conversion + blown saves · Defense = fielding pct + errors per game · Speed = steals + success rate · Momentum = last ten + run differential. Every axis is a live percentile against all 30 clubs.
