Wait, nope, error in calculation.

First off, recalculating the first percentage with SL's observation that the last half-inning of the game shouldn't be counted brings the after-scoring percentage for the Dodgers to 35.0%, still in the lead.

The Alex percentage (percentage of times the Dodgers gave up runs in the half inning immediately following a half inning in which they did not score themselves) is 28.45%.

Barring issues with sample size (I never did get a grasp of how to calculate standard deviation, confidence intervals, margin of error, et al), that looks like a notable difference to me. It's the 3rd highest absolute disparity in the NL (most teams have a lower percentage after not scoring).
