Best offenses
Team OPS — on-base plus slugging. Higher is better.
The Dodgers lead the team-OPS board at .763, a hair ahead of the Cubs at .757 and the Nationals at .755. No runaway here, just a tight cluster at the top.

Best rotation
Starting rotation ERA — starters only. Lower is better.
The Yankees own the best rotation ERA at 3.36, with Detroit (3.42) and Milwaukee (3.48) right behind. Boston's bullpen leads the relief board at 2.92, edging the Yankees at 2.99, so New York is deep on both ends of the staff.
