Alvarez Alone in Green, Schwarber Leads the Longball
The league's hottest offenses and hitters, by OPS and home runs.
It's a hitting day, and one bat sits a full tier above the rest. Yordan Alvarez is running a 1.056 OPS for Houston, the only historic pace among the game's best hitters. Here's where the sluggers stand.
Best offenses
Team OPS — on-base plus slugging. Higher is better.
The Cubs top the team-OPS board at .762, a whisker ahead of the Dodgers at .761 and the Nationals at .754. Tight at the top, and Colorado's thin air keeps the Rockies fourth at .737.
