Some fun with Excel.
Here are the teams in AL, ranked by winning percentage:
BOS 0.689
CLE 0.643
DET 0.614
LAA 0.609
CWS 0.537
OAK 0.500
SEA 0.488
MIN 0.467
NYY 0.455
TOR 0.455
BAL 0.444
TAM 0.409
TEX 0.391
KAN 0.378
Now, here are the teams ranked by runs scored/runs allowed differential:
BOS 241 165 76
LAA 211 169 42
OAK 200 163 37
CLE 233 197 36
DET 240 211 29
NYY 236 209 27
MIN 204 202 2
TOR 201 206 -5
CWS 168 182 -14
BAL 192 207 -15
SEA 180 203 -23
TEX 232 257 -25
KAN 183 227 -44
TAM 195 262 -67
And now, here are the AL teams ranked by the degree to which they're outperforming their differential:
CWS 0.075
CLE 0.052
DET 0.045
SEA 0.045
TAM 0.037
LAA -0.015
BAL -0.020
KAN -0.025
TOR -0.033
MIN -0.038
BOS -0.041
TEX -0.060
NYY -0.110
OAK -0.113
Got that? Based solely on runs scored and allowed, the Red Sox should be winning even more games. But so should the Yankees and A's.
