Dodgers vs Braves

[LCBOY]

I was checking some of the team stats.

The Braves have scored 781 runs (as of 9/3/03)
The Dodgers have scored 478 runs
The Braves have scored 303 more runs!!!

however

The Braves have allowed 635 runs
The Dodgers have allowed 457 runs
The Braves have allowed 178 more runs. So much for the vaunted Braves pitching.

Interesting...Nice work.

The Braves score more and give up more, while the Dodgers score less and give up less. The Braves offense is their strength, while pitching is the Dodger's strength. Interesting to see the numbers though. Thanks.

They say pitching wins, but if you look at these numbers, its a little overrated. What has some meaning is the run differential. Braves 781- 635 = + 146. LA 478 - 457 = + 23. Maddux is old and declining, Glavines gone, Smoltz no longer starts, Millwoods gone.
