Schwarber Powers Up, Alvarez Keeps Climbing
The league's hottest offenses and hitters, by OPS and home runs.
It's a hitting day, and the story is the long ball. Kyle Schwarber added four homers in a single weekend against the Mets to pull clear of the field, while Yordan Alvarez keeps doing Yordan Alvarez things at the top of the OPS list.
Best offenses
Team OPS — on-base plus slugging. Higher is better.
The Dodgers still pace the team-OPS ranking at .783, with the Yankees second at .767. The Athletics and Nationals are tied for third at .745, proof that Nick Kurtz isn't the only one earning his keep.
