- 1st-21st-27th wOBA, 1st-22nd-25th OPS, 2nd-24th-27th in ISO

Big Takeaways –
- -OPS falling to .244 with RISP despite a .942 OPS with the bases empty is extremely concerning.
- +OPS Being .942 with the bases empty is not extremely concerning, if we can just get RISP in check.
- -Getting Down to 27th in wOBA explains a lot so far.
- +As with OPS, .410 wOBA with the bases Empty is great.
- +Offense with the bases empty has been elite so far, despite the small sample size. If we can get those Astros when Runners are on, RISP, then we should be able to make up this poor opening week fairly quickly.
- -If we get RISP Astros with the Bases Empty, the hole will only get larger.
- I believe that we will get the 1st in BA, wOBA, and OPS Astros soon enough with Runners On. As stated previously, those Astros don’t go 1-5 through 6. Those Astros don’t score 3-4 Runs a Game for a Month straight. Those Astros win the Division.
