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.
Explanation: Having a lower hits to run ratio is better. It means that the team needs less hits to score a run. For instance, if a team’s ratio is 2.5, they score one run per 2.5 hits.
