B-R on the Giants’ #8 Hitters
An astonishing .438/.508/.686. Their 1.194 is the highest OPS for any team batting slot this season. (The White Sox #4 hitters are second at 1.132). How have they done it?

Sure would be nice to have that line somewhere other than in front of the pitcher. Wonder how hard it would be to change the lineup card
yes but
there’s a shitload of luck involved. Hitting ahead of the P gives you a small bump, but the rest of the gaudy numbers are complete flukes. Look at the BABIPs; they’re absurd.
This convergence of luck and randomness is sure to dissipate over the course of the season, but it is certainly fun to look at now.
