Spanish Harlem currently leads ATB in run prevention, allowing only 434 runs, an incredible 3.2 runs against per game. This is not the purpose of the post, but incidentally, that pace is 20 runs better than the record set by Sparta last year.
Spanish Harlem is also very close to leading the league in runs scored, further incidentally, just 1 run behind this years version of the Sparta Hoplites. Here, Sparta has played 1 less game and realistically has about a 5 run advantage at this point.
How often has a team led the league in both Runs For and Runs Against? It's actually not even the first time Justin has accomplish the feat, as his 108 win ATB 7 team, the Franklin Lakes Pillpoppers, were the first on record with the honor. At the time rookie owner Steve C also matched the feat in ATB 10 with the inaugural season of the DC Chip Franchise, one that won 113 games.
Which of the potential three is the most impressive?
My vote goes to DC since they were the most balanced, but man, Franklin Lakes was leaps ahead of everyone in preventing runs in ATB 7. The values for the Beaters this year are projections, and leading the league in Runs Scored is certainly in doubt.
All of this is academic though, the Beaters are on pace for 117 wins and that will make them the best ATB of all time.
