9/3 Boston Red Sox @ Oakland

[moonslav59]

What this means is that we're typically blowing out our opponents in wins, and we're losing by very close margins. As frustrating as it is, that's a sign of a good team.

 

But wouldn't expect at least one instance of the reverse happening? Where we get outscored in a series but gut out a split or a win?

 

And, the fact is, this is happening way too often to be attributed to some sort of fluke. The series I listed below are just about every series we didn't win. When you outscore your opponents in every series, you expect to win more than you lose + split. We haven't.

 

Just lok at the 4 four game series:

 

Scored 78 runs (16 games)

Allowed: 61 Runs

 

Record: 8-8

 

Three of these series were vs TBR, LAA and MN.

Reminiscent of the 2002 team which had an inordinate number of blowout wins.

Yes, you would expect the reverse to happen more often. I don't have an explanation for it.
