2012 AL West might do something rare

[TommieAgeefan]

In 2003 the Giants won 100 games. They didn't have a negative run differential. I believe you are thinking of 2005. The Padres won the NL West with an 82-80 W-L record and were outscored by 42 runs.

I remember that. I renamed it the "NL Worst"

Good question. I don't recall any from very recent memory. However I do remember one division (maybe NL West) having every team with a negative run differential some time in the earlier 2000's - like '03 or '04.

All four teams in the AL West have positive run differentials. Even the Mariners have a +4 run differential. I wonder how rare it is for an entire division to have a positive run differential? The entire division has a chance to have winning records. The Mariners are currently 63-67 W-L.
