And while it might not mean anything come October, for May, June, July, August and September, it's bound to prove true. They walk more and strike out less, score way more and steal copious bases comparatively and hit more home runs. New York's pitching has been nothing short of brilliant, with a rotation leading MLB in ERA by nearly three-quarters of a run at 2.27. Chicago Cubs: The Cubs have been baseball's best offense by a significant margin so far and achieved the exceedingly rare 40/40 month: 42 home runs and 44 stolen bases in April. Anything in excess of 75% encourages teams to keep running, and with seven teams already pilfering more than 30 bases, they are gladly obliging, turning singles and walks into "doubles" regularly.
