MLB Standings by wRC+: Astros continue to climb the rankings
The Astros entered play on Saturday with a team wRC+ of 106, which was tied with the Toronto Blue Jays for the ninth-best mark in MLB. And on its face, that shouldn’t be a huge surprise considering they finished in the top-five of wRC+ in every season from 2021 to ‘24 and led all of MLB with a 115 wRC+ in 2021.
