I think the rigid "100 is horrible, 99 is not" skewers some things. Obviously a dozen 100 win/loss teams is pretty damn bad. But a dozen 98 win/loss teams is almost as top/bottom heavy. That's why I was looking at bottom 25% in win totals. It's just bottom 8 not "teams with 94 losses". And I used runs allowed to cover poor fielding instead of earned runs. Preventing runs is a good way to win games without having to have an overpowering offense. If you can keep the score low and close, you can win with a two run homer. Plus trying to win the 13-11 games seems 'tardly anyway. Very, very basic.
