2. 1927 New York Yankees (2.73)

This is probably the club most figured would be at the top with two of the most feared hitters of all time. Babe Ruth hit .356 with 60 home runs and 165 RBIs and Lou Gehrig batted .373 with 47 homers and 173 RBIs for the Yankees, who went 110-44 for a franchise-record .714 winning percentage. These Yankees have the 13th-highest offensive TRACR (1.54) of the modern era, but pitchers Wilcy Moore, Waite Hoyt, Urban Shocker and Herb Pennock all won between 18-22 games. The Yanks were unstoppable down the stretch, going 32-7 from Aug. 24 on, including a four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series.
