Why the Engine Rates Houston This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Houston around the middle of MLB because the club owns a negative run differential (-25), almost no threat on the bases and one of the weakest pitching staffs in baseball. A dependable bullpen is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.57 ranks 25th in MLB, and they score 4.63 runs per game (10th).
