Simple ORA Top 10 All-Star Break Edition

It's a six-way race for the Simple ORA lead at the break, as the top 6 are all within 13 ORA points of each other. The red-hot Mookie Betts has inched ahead of Matt Olson by one one-thousandth of a run, while Shohei Ohtani maintains a slim AL lead over Adolis Garcia.

The simple formulas are surprisingly accurate estimates of real Runs and Outs produced; still, any of these players (or even someone outside the Top 6) could conceivably be leading MLB in real ORA. We won't know until the season is over and the retrosheet files are released.

The simple formulas (ORA is the same formula whether it's real or simple ORA):

Runs = R*5/9 + RBI*4/9 + HR/12
Outs = AB - H + CS + GIDP + SH + SF
ORA = Runs / Outs * 27
