The Oakland offense is absolutely horrific, 29th in runs per game (3.26) and 30th in OPS (.603). They are also last in batting average (.211).
New York Yankees
The Yankees split their series with the Houston Astros over the weekend, earning a 6-3 victory on Sunday. New York has been great in all facets of the game, second in runs per contest (5.02) and first in runs allowed per game (3.05).
It has been a potent power attack leading this Yankees team, as they are first in homeruns (121) and are second in slugging (.434). Aaron Judge leads all of baseball with 28 homeruns in 71 games, and three other players have reached double digits.
