Just a coincidence, or is there really less talent in the heartland? 6 of the bottom 7 teams in runs scored were either in the NL or AL Central. In fact, only the White Sox were above the league average in runs per game. You had a bunch of average to slightly above average teams in the 2 divisions. The regional play allowed the 7 playoff teams to beat up on the Tigers, Royals and Pirates while pretty much playing .500 with each other. That caused their records to look better than what they would have if they'd have had to play the elite teams. They got in the playoffs and the weak offenses got exposed. I had already started a very similar thread about this.
