It looks like the big an0molies are the Twins and the A's. Twins are 11-7 in 1-run games (about what they normally do). The A's are 3-15. Both their pitchers and hitters are really bad when it is late & close. See tables below.

The Twins hitters doing much better with runners on but not so good when it is late & close:

Twins	Hitters
Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
RISP	0.299	0.371	0.451	0.823
None on	0.232	0.276	0.355	0.631
Men On	0.280	0.343	0.421	0.764
Late & Close	0.199	0.264	0.280	0.544

Now the Twins pitchers. Seems to be the opposite of the hitters. So-so with runners on but great when it is late & close.

Twins	Pitchers
Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
RISP	0.264	0.345	0.404	0.749
Men On	0.273	0.340	0.417	0.757
None on	0.270	0.305	0.418	0.723
Late & Close	0.211	0.257	0.289	0.545

Now the A's hitters. They seem okay with runners on but are pretty bad when it is late & close.

A's	Hitters
Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
RISP	0.254	0.310	0.414	0.724
None on	0.258	0.320	0.387	0.706
Men On	0.254	0.318	0.397	0.715
Late & Close	0.241	0.294	0.337	0.631

Now the A's pitchers. They are doing poorly in RISP and late & close situations

A's	Pitchers
Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
RISP	0.260	0.345	0.410	0.755
Men On	0.241	0.323	0.371	0.693
None on	0.235	0.291	0.341	0.632
Late & Close	0.276	0.350	0.429	0.779
