Crunching the numbers, you'll see a distinct difference between the 1977 - 1985 total RUNS production for the Yankees vs. the 1961 - 1966 Dodgers total Runs production.
The Yankees 1977 - 1985 scored an average of
781 RUNS per year vs. the 1961 - 1966 Dodgers
674 RUNS per year. Therefore, Ron Guidry could afford to have Half a RUN
higher in his ERA stat and still win games.
Two of his three 20+ games wins were not your typical low ERA......
1978 W-L
25 - 3, ERA = 1.74
1983 W-L
21 - 9, ERA = 3.42
1985 W-L
22 - 6, ERA = 3.27
