OPS and runs

Below are stats from 2007 for every MLB teams' OPS and run production. The first number is the difference between their offensive OPS and pitching OPS. The number in parentheses is the difference between their runs scored and runs allowed. Make of it what you choose.

Boston Red Sox .101 (210)
New York Yankees .072 (191)
San Diego Padres .046 (75)
Cleveland Indians .042 (107)
Toronto Blue Jays .040 (54)
Colorado Rockies .038 (102)
New York Mets .038 (54)
Detroit Tigers .037 (90)
Chicago Cubs .033 (62)
Atlanta Braves .032 (77)
Milwaukee Brewers .031 (25)
LA Angels .023 (91)
LA Dodgers .018 (8)
Philadelphia Phillies .015 (71)
Oakland A’s .012 (-17)

Seattle Mariners -.018 (-19)
Arizona Diamondbacks -.019 (-20)
Baltimore Orioles -.020 (-112)
Florida Marlins -.022 (-101)
St. Louis Cardinals -.025 (-104)
Texas Rangers -.026 (-28)
Cincinnati Reds -.028 (-70)
San Francisco Giants -.032 (-37)
Minnesota Twins -.034 (-7)
Houston Astros -.049 (-90)
Chicago White Sox -.051 (-146)
Washington Nationals -.057 (-110)
Tampa Bay Devil Rays -.057 (-162)
Pittsburgh Pirates -.063 (-122)
Kansas City Royals -.075 (-72)

One thought concerning the NL East: It would seem the Mets had a lower run differential than you would expect from their OPS differential. Conversely, the Phillies had a higher run differential than you would expect.

If you adjust for park effect, I bet the difference between the Mets and the Phils goes away. Just like it does when you compare most of their offensive stats.
