Some comparisons with last year after 4 games

The first series of the year is in the books, so are the first 4 games of the year. I will try to compare the performance of this year's team with that of last year's in the end of each series, trying to have a leading indicator on the outcome of this season. Of course, doing this after 4 games is too early to be significant, but I am starting now just for the sake of completeness. I will be comparing several categories, in batting, pitching and fielding

Last year, the first 4 games for the Twins were a 3 run home series in which they swept the 0rioles and the first game of an away series with the White Sox, which they lost.
