Double digits

As a follow up to the previous post, here are the 2008 records of AL teams when giving up 10 or more runs:

Angels 3-10
Athletics 0-13
Blue Jays 0-2
Indians 0-12
Mariners 0-14
Orioles 1-20
Rangers 4-22
Rays 0-5
Red Sox 1-13
Royals 1-12
Tigers 1-18
Twins 0-14
White Sox 0-11
Yankees 1-13

So the Tigers were bad. The two teams that jump out are the Blue Jays, for the lack of such games, and the Rangers, for the many (and the number of wins).

Overall, counting both the NL and AL, teams in 2008 had a win percentage of .638 when scoring 5 runs, .707 when scoring 6, .804 when scoring 7, .846 when scoring 8, etc. They had a win percentage of .480 when scoring 4, .364 when 3, .202 when 2, and .083 when 1.
