NUT Report · Week 26 — Dodgers Win the Week on Both Sides of the Ball
Week 26 is done. The Los Angeles Dodgers led the seven-day board at +2.9 team NUT, and they did it from both directions — 43 runs and 14 home runs at a .283 clip, behind a 2.83 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. No other club paired a sub-3.00 ERA with double-digit homers. Mookie Betts took the individual week at +0.8 NUT, with teammate Kyle Tucker right behind at +0.7. Los Angeles also leads the season board at +14.5, the only club above +14. The Cleveland Guardians have won 5 straight, the longest active streak in baseball. Below: the full seven-day NUT board — hitters, pitchers, and the hottest and coldest teams — plus the season leaders.
NUT of the Week
Mookie Betts — LAD · SS
+0.8 NUT · S · .429/.500/.786 · 12 H · 2 HR, 6 RBI · 1 K
Mookie Betts hit .429/.500/.786 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI across 28 at-bats, a +0.8 NUT that led MLB hitters. He struck out once all week. The on-base and slugging carried it, not the average — NUT weighs how often a hitter reaches and how far he moves runners, so a .429 week with a .500 on-base and one strikeout grades far above a .429 week built on singles.

All below league average by NUT — it weighs on-base and slugging, so these are production gaps, not just low averages.
Coldest Pitchers — Last 7 Days
Pitcher NUT is built on strikeouts, walks, and home runs — defense removed — so these grades reflect the arm, not the glovework behind it.

Season NUT Leaders
Team NUT — This Season
Best offense by NUT: the Cubs at +12.2 hitting NUT. Best rotation: the Yankees at +6.0 pitching NUT. The Dodgers top the board without leading either column — +10.2 hitting and +4.3 pitching is the most balanced pair in the top five.
On the streak watch, the Cleveland Guardians have won 5 straight, the longest active run in baseball, on a -0.7 season NUT that ranks 15th. The Athletics have lost 6 straight on a -5.3 NUT that ranks 24th. A streak backed by a strong NUT tends to hold; one on a middling number is closer to variance — and Cleveland's run is the second kind.
