The Offense So Far

One week into the season, there does not yet seem to be much reason to worry about the Sox offense as a whole. The Sox lead the AL in average (.282), slugging (.494) and OPS (.831). They are second in home runs (8) and third in runs/game (5.00). This, despite having faced five pitchers (including the reigning Cy Young winner) with an average ERA of 3.80. While it's still early, there is definitely room for cautious optimism.

That said, Sox pitching is giving up 4.6 runs/game so far, with a WHIP of 1.400 (both 11th in the AL).
