It’s been more than a month since the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Cinderella run through the MLB postseason ended three wins shy of the franchise’s second World Series title while invigorating Arizona sports betting.
Regardless of the championship series outcome, Arizona has quickly emerged as one of the best defensive teams in the majors, with budding superstars like outfielder Corbin Carroll, catcher Gabriel Moreno and veteran infielder Ketel Marte leading the charge.
Between those three and a host of other D’backs players, Arizona can call themselves one of the MLB’s best teams in the field over the last three seasons, posting the league’s ninth-best number when it comes to average errors per game.
As we have moved into the depths of the offseason, it is important to dissect what MLB teams can do to follow the formula of successful teams. BetArizona.com used TeamRankings.com to look at the least to most mistake-prone MLB teams by average errors per game over the past three seasons.
