Click to expand...

I think in 2 of those games the winning teams had enough walks so that they ended up with more walks+hits. That's why OBP is the most important offensive statistic.

I tend to think OPS is the most important offensive statistic. It'd be interesting, for anyone who has a comprehensive database on baseball statistics, to see what team stat correlates highest with winning %

I bet offensively it'd be OPS but that's just a guess...

OPS is a combo of 2 stats, but it is better than OBP alone. Most of what I have read indicates that OPS weights SLG too much, and that a better OPS ratio would multiply OBP by anywhere from 1.5 to 2 and then add that to SLG. But that's a little bit harder to do than just adding OBP and SLG together.

i used to follow a stat....the winning team scores more in ONE inning, than the losing team scores the entire game.....

can't remember the percentage...but it, like everythingelse in baseball, had it's streaks.....the three games you posted, only the dodgers/pitt came close
