Series Preview: Seattle Mariners Oakland Athletics


These might morph a little bit as the season goes on. I haven't hit upon any obvious improvements I want to make over how they ended last season, but I am rarely ever satisfied with the status quo. To the new people or those who forgot how these work over the off season here's a quick rundown.

At the beginning of each series I will grab the current team ratings and rank in a variety of categories that I feel best encapsulate the four talent areas. The offense rating comes from park-adjusted wOBA as listed on StatCorner. Similarly the rotation and bullpens come from park-adjusted tRA as seen on StatCorner. The fielding is always the stickiest wicket but for now will remain the weekly updated UZR on FanGraphs. I'd ultimately like to get something that updated daily, but none of the systems that do that are centered until after the season ends.

The first column will list the current amount of runs above or below average that the Mariners are in each category along with their rank out of 30 teams. The second column (Δ Ms) will show the increase or decrease since the beginning of the last series. The third column is a repeat of the first but for our opponent and finally the Edge column is simply a comparison between the two teams..............
