The number of victories (W), earned run average (ERA), runsscored (R), batting average (AVG), and on-base percentage (OBP) foreach team in the American League in the 2012 season are provided inthe following table. The ERA is one measure of the effectiveness ofthe pitching staff, and a lower number is better. The otherstatistics are measures of effectiveness of the hitters, and highernumbers are better for each of these.
