The LA Dodgers continue to pull away, as far as these stats go, in the NL West. Their opponent’s hit/run ratio is a healthy 2.55 now. Meanwhile, their hit/run ratio is under 2 at 1.91.

The San Francisco Giants continue to struggle and their numbers show why.

This entire division is shaky. The teams that have positive hit/run ratios are just barely positive. The NL Central is possibly the most wide-open division in the MLB.

The Cubs are expected to have a good offense, but they aren’t getting the job done so far this season.

It’s no secret that the Washington Nationals are a poor team, but looking at their numbers shows just how horrendous they are.

Their hit/run ratio is over 100 points higher than their opponents. They are getting hits (106), but they just can’t seem to get runs across the plate (37). Meanwhile, they are holding their opponents to about the same hit production (113), but their opponents are scoring at will (74 runs).

The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers both have positive hit/run numbers. The Rangers have played more games, so their numbers are much stronger.

We’ll see how things play out when the Mariners stop getting rained and snowed out of games.

The Kansas City Royals have the worst differential in this division. They are almost 60 points worse than their opponents.

They’ve allowed the most runs (69) and hits (127) of any team in their division.

The Boston Red Sox continue to improve their numbers. They have the best differential between their hit/run ratio and their opponent’s hit/run ratio.
