The Oakland A’s have completed their first homestand of 2018, so it’s time to sort through the early statistical returns. The team wound up going 3-5 over eight games against the Angels and Rangers, but they could have just as easily been 5-3 with a little more luck (or even better than that with some clutch hits). Here are some interesting stats after the season’s first week.
The A’s rank 13th in MLB with a 106 wRC+, which by definition is above the average mark of 100. The team above them on the list is at 112, and the team below them is at 101.
