Runs to Hits Ratio: National League

So I was thinking, because I've been sick the last couple of days: Man, the Astros seem to be able to hit the ball (kind of), but they sure don't score many runs. How do they compare to the rest of the National League? It's a valid question, and there's a valid answer. Regard:

As of this morning, 1-16 in total runs:hits ratio

13Cincinnati102211.483
14Atlanta105218.482
15Houston106233.455
16San Francisco90205.439


Everyone realizes what this means, right? It basically takes 2+ hits to get one run for the Astros. And while the Astros rank 12th in the NL in runs, they're 5th in hits. That's a bad ratio. Obviously.
