The other guys have scored 687 runs so 40% of their runs come from home runs.

In this series just 1 of the Mets 7 runs came via the home run, 14%. The Dodgers got 5 of their 12 from homers, (42%). The two teams hit 6 doubles and 2 of the players who hit them scored.  I’ve been keeping track of this since August 1st and 55 of 149 players who have hit doubles scored, (37%). The Mets have hit 218 home runs, so homers have driven in 113 teammates while doubles have driven in 105. The opposition has hit 185 homers so homers have driven in 91 teammates compared to 128 for doubles. The Mets have 255 doubles. If 37% of those players scored, that’s 94 runs. The opponents have hit 275 doubles. 37% of that is 102 runs. That would mean that homers have accounted for 331 Mets runs and doubles have accounted for (105 + 94=) 199 meaning Mets doubles have been 60% as effective as home runs. The opposition has produced 276 runs via the homer and (102 + 128) 230 via doubles. That’s 83%. Combine those numbers and you get 429/607 = doubles are 71% of home runs.
