As for the wild-card game, we can take a look at how the Dodgers and Diamondbacks have performed in general this season, by looking at the production each has obtained from the nine positions on the diamond, and their bullpens. Having already covered the D-backs last time, I’ll be concentrating mostly on the opposition this time around.
To do so, I’ve used Baseball Reference’s Wins Above Average, which breaks down the bWAR for every NL team by position. Note it’s above average, and not replacement, so a zero figure means the position has produce at league level.
