They are convinced that hitting home runs is the best way to score runs.

because they have 100,000+ data points that verify that it is.

it may not work the best every single time, but their job is, as Theo Epstein put it, to find a 1% edge that eeks out 1 or 2 extra wins over the course of a season.

The only data point that matters is runs per game. Where is the data that shows decreased on base percentage, with a few more home runs, is leading to more runs?

When you say data points, it makes me think of climatologists. "Just take our word for it".
