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.
After several weeks on top of the rankings, the Cardinals have fallen to the second slot in favor of the Yankees.
1. New York Yankees: 4.28
