Another major problem, maybe even a bigger one, is how do you account for the different usage of pitchers? Christy Mathewson pitched almost 25% of the Giants innings in 1905 whereas R.A. Dickey, who's known to pitch a good amount of innings in today's game, pitched just under 15% of the Jays innings last year. In a 7-game historical exhibition series does Christy get to pitch 4 games (he started games 1, 3, and 5 of the 5 game series in 1905 and he won all 3) while a modern era pitcher gets 3 starts max, if that? I don't know. If Mathewson doesn't pitch every other day, those 1905 Giants are in trouble.
