Data is a good thing, but data overload is not. Here’s a nice summary chart of teams’ scoring differences between 2005 and 2006. RS+ is the change in runs scored per game from 2005 to 2006, compared to average. (After all, the NL is scoring .2 runs per game more this year.) RS+ is the change in runs allowed per game from 2005 to 2006, again compared to average. A positive number is a good thing. Total is simply the two numbers added together. I’ve run the list in three different orders: sorted by RS+, RA+, and Total.

There are a bunch of interesting tidbits to be taken from the charts, but I’ll simply point you to my division-by-division notes and let you know enjoy perusing the tables yourself. Numbers are as of Monday.

Part I: NL West
