Coming in, I was hoping for an improvement of more than ten games, that being the average gain posted by teams who have had win totals in the mid-sixties. Right now, the team is looking likely to beat that, being on pace for 80 wins, which would be an improvement of sixteen games, and in excess of most expectations. In our pre-season poll, 63% of voters had us at 77 wins or fewer. The offense, in particular, has outperformed what we thought, having currently scored more runs than any other team in the National League, despite having the youngest team.
