Count on the Brewers and the Yankees to swap winning percentages by the end of they year. The Yankees have scored 141 runs to their 126 runs allowed, putting them at a Pythagorean win/loss of 13-11. The Brewers, until their sweep of the Cardinals this week, had allowed more runs than they had scored (remember the '05 Nationals?) Brad wants to take a small sample of 27 games worth of run differential and make it even smaller (by trimming off 3 games), just so he can come to the conclusion he wants to? That's bad math on top of bad math. And if you want conclude that the Yankees' 13-11 pyth record is representative of their true true overall talent, they'll end the season 88-74, with a .543 winning%. Brad better hope it's not that simple, since the Yankees wouldn't even make the post season, much less get anywhere near the Brewer's current winning %. I think people look at their favorite team's pythag. record and think that means they'll end up at that pace by the end of the season. You don't get a do-over on games; if you are behind your expected record, you've lost them for good.
