Betts with a 4.0 bWAR, which is nuts considering how bad he did in May

This is insane when coupled with the fact the red Sox have played like 1600 games since Ortiz last played 1B in an AL park. They were obviously "pitching away from Ortiz".

Betts with a 4.0 bWAR, which is nuts considering how bad he did in May His batting average on the balls he puts into play has steadily risen, and many of those hits have been for extra bases. That's a big part of it, balls hitting the gaps. That low BABIP was mentioned a few times when his numbers were down. He's near .300 now and that's probably closer to his true talent.

4.8% infield fly rate in June. that seems high, no? Depends whether it's a percentage of all fly balls, all balls in play, all ABs or all PAs...
