The team's statistics from past games reveal a solid offensive and defensive strategy.

Their pitchers have maintained an ERA (Earned Run Average) of 0.0 in one game and 2.0 in another, showcasing their ability to limit opposing teams' scoring.


Fielding has been mostly reliable with a fielding percentage just above .930 across three games despite some errors that they will look to clean up before facing the Athletics.
