The problem is they can't seem to add runs when they are in a close game when the pressure is on and facing good pitchers.
They get all proud of themselves when they beat up a team 10-0, but then proceed to lose the next two games 1-0.
Classic Toronto sports team choke mentality.

It definitely means they are a better team. You just created a narrative to defend it with exaggerated examples. It's the same way that Ranger fans defend their ridiculous record in one run games (36-11) because they have a good bullpen, ignoring the fact that there's better bullpens out there with significantly worse one run game records.
If Texas is allegedly so good at just adding on runs in close games, why don't they just do it at the start of every game too and win even more? If they had some innate ability to do so, why are they waiting until the end of close games to do it?
