Fun facts about the Giants and the 2025 season:

1. Giants have improved their OPS+ rating to 13th in MLB (up from 17th), which has led to their #6 overall rating in runs per game at 4.92.
2. Giants are also #6 in strikeouts (223) and #7 in walks (96).
3. Giants are #17 in stolen bases, up from dead last, last year. Not bad.
4. Giants have a 10-6 road record, they're the first MLB team to have won 10 games on the road. They have also played more road games than any other team to date.
5. Giants are 16-9, tied with the Dodgers, one game behind the Padres. All three teams are 5-5 in their last 10 games. One big difference: Giants are 12-4 against teams with better than .500 record, the Padres are 8-7, Dodgers are 9-7.
6. Giants have the best fielding average in MLB at .990, with the fewest errors (9).
7. They are slightly below average Rtot at 1 (MLB average is 5) and the 9th most double plays.
8. Giant pitchers have the 8th best MLB ERA at 3.59; 7th most strikeouts (222).
9. On the not-great side, they have the 14th best WHIP (1.255) and have given up the 11th most walks.

Position-by-position WAR rankings. You can see the weaknesses:

3B T#1
2B #2
CF #2
RP #5
RF #10
DH #15 (Can't believe this one. Flores leads MLB in RBIs with 27).
SP #18
LF #20
1B #23
SS #29
C #29

I'm actually enthused by this. I think Adames and Bailey will both pick it up. I don't think Wade will, but there are other options. I think the starting pitching will settle in. We have budding stars at 2B, CF and an established star at 3B. Relief pitching is crushing it and Yaz is playing pretty well.
