The Opsera is a statistic I created in order to objectively rank teams by how well they hit (OPS) and pitch (ERA). In order to determine a team's Opsera, I take their OPS, multiply that number by 10 to move the decimal point over one place to the right and then subtract the team's ERA from that number.
With five weeks in the books, we finally have our first repeat leader in Opsera, with the Cardinals also leading after Week 4. The Phillies (Week 1), Yankees (Week 2) and Giants (Week 3) have been our other leaders.
1. St. Louis Cardinals 4.79
2. New York Yankees 4.76
3. Tampa Bay Rays 4.58
4. San Francisco Giants 4.55
5. Minnesota Twins 4.36
6. San Diego Padres 4.24
