Every once and awhile, I like to provide updates on who the best and worst offenses in baseball are so you can know who to avoid and who to get excited about when streaming starting pitchers or just deciding when to bench your rostered ones. Since handedness is very important here, I’ve got the ten best and worst offenses against each hand, for a total of four tables. These are subject to change as the season goes on, but we are almost halfway now and should have a pretty good idea of where these teams stand. Enjoy!

Best Offenses Against RHP

Rank Team wOBA 1 Astros 0.354 2 Yankees 0.353 3 Nationals 0.348 4 Diamondbacks 0.345 5 Rays 0.343 6 Dodgers 0.336 7 Indians 0.333 8 Reds 0.332 9 Mariners 0.33 10 Mets 0.328

Worst Offenses Against RHP

Rank Team wOBA 21 Marlins 0.314 22 Blue Jays 0.314 23 Pirates 0.312 24 Cubs 0.311 25 Angels 0.307 26 Royals 0.302 27 Phillies 0.3 28 White Sox 0.299 29 Padres 0.296 30 Giants 0.288

Best Offenses Against LHP

Rank Team wOBA 1 White Sox 0.363 2 Cubs 0.347 3 Nationals 0.336 4 Astros 0.336 5 Red Sox 0.333 6 Rockies 0.332 7 Dodgers 0.331 8 Tigers 0.331 9 Reds 0.328 10 Braves 0.326

Worst Offenses Against LHP

Rank Team wOBA 21 Phillies 0.302 22 Angels 0.301 23 Cardinals 0.3 24 Diamondbacks 0.3 25 Pirates 0.297 26 Athletics 0.296 27 Royals 0.295 28 Giants 0.294 29 Rangers 0.293 30 Padres 0.279

So there you have it. The Padres, Giants, Royals, Angels, and Pirates are bad against everyone, and the Rangers, Diamondbacks, Rays really struggle against lefties compared to righties. The Red Sox, White Sox, and Cubs all crush lefties while struggling against righties. The Nationals, Astros, Dodgers, and Reds should just be avoided altogether when streaming.

I hope these leaderboards are helpful tools for you as we approach the mid point of the season. All stats are courtesy of Fangraphs. Tschus!
