The Ridiculous Stat of the Day

The Phillies have only allowed 366 runs against them this year. 

  • The other 31 teams right now average 473 runs against.
  • The only other team under 400 is the Giants (394), but they have actually been outscored on the year (393 runs scored and, along with the lowly Padres and Mariners, are the only teams who have yet to score 400).
  • They have given up over 100 runs fewer than three of the five real NL contenders – 111 fewer than Milwaukee, 112 fewer than Arizona, and 127 fewer than St. Louis.
  • And in the AL (granted there is a DH and just better offenses, in general), the Phils have given up 65 fewer runs than the Yankees, 98 fewer than Boston, 105 fewer than Texas, and 138 fewer than the Tigers.  They have even given up 47 fewer than the Angels and their great “run prevention” team.

By the way, they are also averaging 4.4 runs per game on offense.

Ya, this team is pretty good…
