80 games into the season, the Mariners are 10 games over .500.
Yet they have exactly the same number of runs allowed as they do runs scored -- 400.
The Braves, Phillies, and Diamondbacks have both been outscored by their opponents but have records over .500.
Meanwhile the Yankees appear be the only team to have outscored their opponents despite a losing record. Look for them to have a big second half and make a run at the wild card.
