Since the Performance Enhancing Drugs are now on the decline (hopefully) so are runs per game by team dropping off almost 1/2 run since 2000. Take a look at these numbers from my MLB database since 1999. (Year--RPG)

2007-- 4.797

2006-- 4.858

2005-- 4.592

Look for some low Over/Under totals in Baseball this season, especially in April and parts of May.
