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 (-31), one of the weakest pitching staffs in baseball and limited speed. A dependable bullpen is what stops the overall grade falling further. Their staff ERA of 4.59 ranks 26th in MLB, and they score 4.68 runs per game (9th).
