Through 5 July, each team’s bullpen’s wOBA (.342 & .339) was near league average (.330 wOBA) for all pitching. But July is different.
In July, the Angels’ .338 wOBA was about the same as their season average. Remarkably, the Diamondbacks’ wOBA improved to .270.
If the recent performance continues, the Diamondbacks have the better bullpen!
Battle of the bats is a tossup.
