One of my favorite things about baseball is that, over a 162-game season, even the worst teams will have good moments, and even the best teams will have bad moments.
The Philadelphia Phillies, who finished the year with a league-worst 63-99 record, won 16 different games by five or more runs! The St. Louis Cardinals, who finished the year with a league-best 100-62 record, lost 16 games by five or more runs! Alfredo Simon, who had a league-worst 5.05 ERA, had six different starts in which he threw at least seven innings and allowed one or fewer earned runs.
