To my knowledge, there is no evidence that pitchers perform better or worse according to the level of run support they receive. This was looked, to my recollection, several times largely because of trying to determine whether Jack Morris belongs in the Hall of Fame. Short answer, we know of nothing that suggests that dog can hunt.

In other words, pitching to the score is a myth. Yep, that was one of sabermetrics' low-hanging fruit that was pretty well disproved 20-30 years ago.
