Highest ratio of runs scored/runs allowed, 1946- 1969 O's (1.51) 2017 ASTROS (1.49) 1948 Indians (1.48) 1954 Indians (1.48) 2001 M's (1.48)
The Astros lead the AL West by 13.5 games, the largest divisional lead in the 55-year history of the Astros franchise. It is June 4th.
The Astros are just the 4th AL team of the expansion era to start 41-16 or better, after the 1984 Tigers, 1998 Yankees, & 2001 Mariners.
Five major league teams are more than 12 games out of first place. Four of them are in the AL West.
If the Astros win and Angels lose today, the Astros will have their largest divisional lead (13.5 games) IN FRANCHISE HISTORY. On June 4th.
The Cubs just ended a streak longer than The Streak. They are in 1st place by 15 games for the first time since the end of the 1907 season.
Cubs starters have allowed no more than one run 56 times, on pace for 77 all season. That would be the most by any team since at least 1913.
Not counting World War II, the last NL team with a better run ratio through 114 games than the 2016 Cubs was the...1909 Cubs.
The Cubs have the best ratio of runs scored to runs allowed (581-381, or 1.525) through 114 games of any NL team since the 1944 Cardinals.
Opponents are hitting .213 against the Cubs. Except for the Year of the Pitcher (1968), no team has allowed a lower average in 100 years.
The Cubs have 5 pitchers with 20+ starts and a WHIP under 1.100. Only one team has accomplished that feat over a full season: the 1907 Cubs.
The #Cubs were 40-16 when this was published by @ringer and @jazayerli: theringer.com/chicago-cubs-2…. They're 11-14 since.
The Cubs are underperforming their Pythagorean record by over 5 wins, making them the biggest underachievers in MLB. The Cubs are 47-22.
No team has lost fewer games than the Cubs (21). But *16* teams have lost fewer one-run games (10). Imagine their record if they were lucky.
Counting today, the Cubs have drawn 11+ walks in a 9-inning game more times over the last 2 years (3) than the other 29 teams combined (2).
If the #Cubs were banned from batting after the 5th inning in every game, they still would have outscored their opponents this year 191-173.
Only 3 teams in the live ball era (1964 LA, 2002 BOS, 2015 LA) have had 2 qualifying SP with a WHIP under 1.00. The #Cubs currently have 4.
The Cubs have not played a game in 2016 in which they weren't ahead, tied, or had the tying run at least on deck in the 6th inning or later.
James Shields has allowed at least seven runs in his last two starts. The #Cubs have allowed at least seven runs just four times in 2016.
