I am seeing the same thing in build 38. I created a historical sim starting in 1908, using all default settings except the following:

Current ratings based on current season
Potential based on remaining peak seasons
Fielding ratings based on 3-year recalc
Pitcher stamina based on 3-year recalc
Real minors and Negro leaguers enabled
Amateur draft and spring training disabled

In 1908, run scoring was 10.4% below real-life history, even though batting average and 2B/AB were 6.6% and 7.0% higher than history.

Thereafter, other stats were overwhelmingly in the green, but run scoring was 14.4% to 23.1% lower than history in every subsequent season. This included four total seasons where it was 20+% lower and four seasons where it was 19% lower.

I will test some other eras as well, but there definitely seems to be an issue here, and I would recommend looking at league total modifiers as a possible culprit. For example, I noticed that the league total modifier for fielding line drives into double-plays was massively high, at 4.0+ or 5.0+. I only checked the first and last seasons for this, but that seems strangely high. I also noticed that sac flies were at 0.600 for 1920, but I didn't check all other seasons.
