This would be a great way to determine who has a good offense and who has a good pitching staff at a quick glance.

ESPN.com and MLB.com both list RS and RA in their standings.

As much as runs allowed and runs scored can tell a lot, they don't actually tell what you want them to as well as you wanted.
Because of park factors, a hitters park will make a team's hitting look a lot better, and a pitching staff worse, and vice versa for a pitchers' park. No other sport has the disparity between ballparks than baseball has.

What the standings come down to is Wins and Losses. Nothing more. You can put stats in whatever list you want, but they're just sidenotes that have no meaning.
When tie-breakers are needed, the breakdown of individual series wins comes in play, not how many runs a team scored.

That makes the news paper a little oversize by about an inch or two. You can always check the net.

When one looks at the standings all they want to know is what teams are in what spots. I believe the same and it should have wins, losses, winning percentage and games behind.

i think team era and batting avg are good enough for that
