I like how, in a normal season, you don’t really look at team stats, and especially individual stats, until you get about 45 games into the season. But this isn’t a normal season. So as we’re a month in, we’re halfway done with the regular season. Where does the offense stand so far?
So far, not bad. We currently sit 5th in MLB in runs scored, and 9th in wRC+. Using a cumulative stat like runs scored may not be the best way of evaluating this season since not everybody has played the same amount of games. But the only team ahead of the Braves in wRC+ that hasn’t played as many games is the Phillies (they’ve played 4 less), so I don’t think that runs scored ranking is particularly misleading.
