The 2010 season

Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.

They finished 3rd in the AL West, 10 games back. They spent 4 of 182 days in first place, led by as many as 0.5 games on June 7 and were as far as 12 games back on September 26. Their best month was June at 18-9, their worst July at 9-17. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from June 2 to June 7 and a 7-game losing streak from April 30 to May 6. They were 43-38 at home and 37-44 on the road, 24-25 in one-run games and 46-60 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 12-0 at the Cubs on June 19; the heaviest defeat, 15-1 at the Athletics on July 10.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

Regulation games only, in minutes. 170 minutes this season.

Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.

Record versus run differential

Los Angeles Angels are 80-82, a .494 win rate, while their -21 run differential implies .486. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
