HOW FAR OFF IS THE RED SOX RUN PRODUCTION?

If you can't remember the last time the Red Sox offense was this meek, that's okay because it certainly has been a while.  So how far off their usual pace are they?
Because it is summertime and just about everyone can always use a little math refresher, I'm going to give you a little math lesson to go along with some Red Sox offensive....and believe me they are offensive....numbers.

As of right now the Red Sox have scored a total of 280 runs.  At this point last season they had scored 376 times which means that they are down 96 runs since this time last season.  If you are thinking that last year may have been a bit of a fluke causing the discrepancy to appear larger than it really is, you would unfortunately be mistaken.  Last year's total was actually pretty representative of the past 9 seasons.  The 376 was actually the median (aka the middle number) of the list.  Additionally, it was only one run higher than the 9 year average (aka the mean). 
Of the previous 9 seasons the greatest number of runs as of June 20th was 395 in 2011.  Prior to this season, the least number of runs scored by this point in recent years was 352 in 2012.  If you subtract 352 from 395 you will see the range of the number of runs to be 43.  Once we throw in this year's low of 280 runs, the range increases to 115.

For those who really
aren't fans of measures of central tendency and want me to cut to the chase, the Red Sox run production is down a whopping 25%.
