Weekly Pitcher Rankings: Going... Up?

Written by

Updated on June 24, 2024 1:13AM EST

Earlier this week, I posted a Z-Files showing scoring through June 17 was still down, relative to other seasons. However, I expressed curiosity of how the impending heat wave may influence homers, hence runs. Small sample size warnings apply; here is the data:

	HR%	Runs per Game	BABIP
June 1 - 17	3.00%	4.46	0.292
June 18 - 21	3.40%	4.58	0.293

Four days clearly isn't enough to show cause and effect, but the increase in home runs is worth monitoring. It hasn't had a huge effect on scoring yet. Let's see what happens for the rest of the month.

You know the drill. The schedule is pulled from the Probable Pitchers page, so please direct rotation questions over there. I'm always willing to discuss rankings below.
