This may indicate that Karma provides cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Blitzcrank is played together with Karma on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Karma.
Moreover, when Blitzcrank plays with Karma on the same side, he usually takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Karma does a poor job of protecting Blitzcrank during teamfights.
