This isn’t looking at average runs a game, but how many runs they score (and conversely allow) in each game. What Studes found is that consistency in scoring 2-6 runs is most important. At the time of the study, the White Sox average runs per game were a half run below average, but they very rarely were held to less than 2 runs. I found the study interesting enough to perform last year for the Tigers, and I’ll repeat it this year. The first graph is the Tigers distribution of runs scored. The total height of each bar is indicative of the number of games, and the different colors show how often the team won. The yellow line and the right axis shows the cumulative percentage of games played (ie Tigers score 3 runs or fewer ~40% of the time). The following is what the league on whole did in terms of runs scored. Like many of the Tigers offensive numbers, they are are somewhat in line with a typical team on the whole. Where they differ is in their frequency of scoring 4 runs. The Tigers have scored 3 runs and 6 runs a little more frequently than the rest of the league. What you’ll also notice is that the Tigers have performed better than the rest of the league in those low scoring games. At 3 runs teams typically win 31% of those games while the Tigers are at 46%. In fact, the Tigers have outperformed the league average winning percentage at every run level.

One thing they seem to say is that the Tigers need to improve their offense as much as their pitching. Those are interesting charts.
