You can’t win a baseball game without scoring runs, and since it’s such a pivotal part of winning, it’s time to take a look at all 30 teams and who might have the best offensive production this season. With the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers leading their respective leagues last season, will another team be able to outslug them this year?

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman draft all 30 teams based on who they think will score the most runs this season, from most to least. While the Dodgers and Yankees may be taken early, there are a few picks (looking at you, Sacramento Athletics and Atlanta Braves) that may surprise you. Could the new additions to the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox push them higher in the draft?

Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the St. Louis Cardinals giving a two-year extension to manager Oliver Marmol and the possible reasoning behind GM Chaim Bloom’s decision to make this move now. Then, the guys talk about the pandemonium surrounding Shohei Ohtani during his return to Japan as he goes out and about with his World Baseball Classic club.
