One thing the offense is doing well compared with last year is not striking out. They are 2nd best in MLB in strikeout percentage (18th last year). Five % point improvement falling to 18.4%. Also getting a good percentage of their hits as XBH, 8th best percentage. Those are helping them make efficient use of hits, where they are 6th in runs per hit. Also helps they are 6th in stolen bases with 5th best success rate.

They pointed out on the broadcast their RISP is much improved, they are league average this year in OPS with RISP.

Encouraging potential for positive regression is they are 28th in BABIP. Last year they were league average.

I bet the baserunning stats are better less outs on the bases and less failures to advance. A couple guys in last year's lineups made bad decisions on the bases.
