I think there is a certain pattern when there is such a difference between runs and hits ... it's the walks.

In this game Red Sox pitching issued no less than 17(!) walks.

You're doing a great job with your research, but you completely ignore the walks - in the Göteborg/Den Haag game Den Haag scored 31 runs on 32 hits+walks, in the Red Sox/Yankees game the Yankees scored 32 runs on 40 hits+walks

You need the baserunners and you need to execute - this will not happen often, but it can happen, even in real life.
