With the bad team playing the good one 170 times in a season, and 1977 settings, I got:
11 no-hit games
7 perfect games
38 runs- the most in a game by one team.
Dmitri Young (yes, Dmitri Young), had a 72 game hitting streak.
The good team was 170-0 vs. the bad team. who were the only two teams in the league.
The bad team scored 18 runs/.078 BA/5 HR/,173 OPS to the good team's 3954 runs/.418 BA/697 HR/1.357 OPS/ (that's only 18 runs all season for the bad team!)
Lou Gehrig .458 BA
Barry Bonds 143 HR
Carl Hubbell 0.06 season ERA
Greg Maddux 0.07 season ERA
Sandy Koufax 0.19 season ERA
Then-
I changed the hits modifier to 1.2
I changed the HR modifier to 2
results:
5 no-hit games
1 perfect game
48 runs- the most in a game by one team.
Joe Morgan had a 98 game hitting streak.
The good team again was 170-0 vs. the bad team.
The bad team scored 34 runs/.104 BA/9 HR/.223 OPS to the good team's 5162 runs/.464 BA/1717 HR/1.754 OPS/ (that's just 34 runs all season for the bad team, but it looks good compared to only 18 runs in a season!)
Bonds .546 BA
Mark McGwire 200 HR
Hubbell 0.02 season ERA
Maddux 0.14 season ERA
Koufax 0.27 season ERA
Bonds (three times) and Mike Schmidt (twice) hit 5 HR in game.
Starting pitcher Jason Derty pitched 51 innings, giving up 270 hits, 146 BB, 38 SO, 130 HR, with an 0-51 record (he lost every game he started) and a 61.24 ERA. In one game, he gave up 10 hits and 7 HR- and only retired one batter.
Returning to 1977 settings, but adding in six real-life very bad hitting teams to the AL lowered maximum runs in a game by one team to 33-
Bonds hit .427 with 127 HR and a 27 game hit streak, all leading the league-
Hubbell had a 1.24 ERA.
The bad team scored 75 runs/.131 BA/25 HR/,294 OPS, 3015 runs allowed to the good team's 1837 runs/.352 BA/574 HR/1.168 OPS, 391 runs allowed.
The bad team again lost every game (out of 154), but the good team did (relatively) poorly compared to the two other good teams, going only 143-11.
All the players mentioned played for the one very good team, except Jason Derty, who played for the really bad team.
Playing with a team of all-time greats (in leagues vs. great teams of the past and/or teams made up of recent players), the most runs i've seen scored in a game is 30 (that was in a league with 2022 settings, except for strikeout modifier set to .654, and SB attempt modifier set to .974).
