What is a Run Differential?

Run differential in baseball is the difference between the total number of runs a team has scored and the total number of runs its opponents have scored. It is used as a performance metric to evaluate a team’s overall performance. A positive run differential indicates that a team has scored more runs than it has allowed, suggesting strong offensive and defensive performance, while a negative run differential suggests the opposite.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Run Differential:

\[ \text{RD} = 250 - 200 = 50 \]

The Run Differential is 50.
