Re: LSU/SEC homers
Well, let's see.
2005 White Sox: 54 1-run games, not an unusually high totel. Cleveland, Minnesota, Tampa, Washington, Oakland, Texas, LA Angels, Colorado, San Francisco, and San Diego all had at least 49, with Washington clocking in at 61.
2004 Red Sox: 24 one-run games, one of the smallest amounts in the league.
2003 Marlins: 53 one-run games. Doesn't lead the league, around 5 teams have at least 48
2002 Angels: 53 one-run games, leads the league. A few teams at the 48 mark.
2001 DBacks: 48 one-run games.
2000 Yanks: 38 one-run games.
1999 Yanks: 34 one-run games.
1998 Yanks: 32 one-run games.
1997 Marlins: 54
1996 Yanks: 41
1995 Braves: 51
1993 Jays: 45
1992 Jays: 48
1991 Twins: 40
1990 Reds: 39
Looks to me like the average team plays around 40 one-run games.
Later I could run a correlation analysis to see if amount of one-run games correlates with games above .500. I doubt there will be much of an effect.
