Dead Ball Era Championship Tournament
-
The A’s obliterated the Giants in a 3 game sweep to end the first 1/2 of the season. After just a few series go it looking like anyone’s championship, there is now separation between the top 3 (Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia) and the rest of the teams.
The league batting average is climbing… up to .225. Interestingly, the offensive performance has been pretty similar for all 8 teams… with 6 of the 8 teams scoring between 72-79 runs so far… the difference has been pitching. The team ERA stats are pretty much the same order as the standings, with Chicago and Boston both sporting team ERAs well under 2 while NY, Detroit and Pittsburgh are all over 3.
