Nolan Arenado took the final week at +0.8 NUT. The Houston Astros led the seven-day team board at +2.4 with 17 home runs, and open the playoffs Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, fifth on the same board at +1.0. Below: the final week’s NUT board, the final top 10s, the best in each league by NUT, and the playoff field.

Team NUT sums every hitter's and pitcher's production over the last 7 days. The Atlanta Braves finished second-coldest at -1.8 and host the Phillies in the wild card round Tuesday. Full hot and cold board →
Best offense by NUT: the Chicago Cubs at +11.8 hitting NUT. Best rotation: the Yankees at +6.9 pitching NUT, with Boston second at +6.7 — and the two meet in the wild card round. Pittsburgh finished third in team NUT at +10.9 and missed the playoffs.
On the streak watch, Milwaukee finished on 5 straight wins on a +13.7 season NUT that ranks 2nd. The San Francisco Giants closed on 5 straight losses on a -0.2 NUT that ranks 15th. A streak backed by a strong NUT tends to hold; one on a middling number is closer to variance.
That's the regular season. The final NUT board — last 7, last 30, or full season — is at baseballnut.app/stats, and the postseason board fills in as the games are played.
