Interesting read. Iooked at how many runs they SHOULD have scored, based on their stats: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/rluzinski/dodgers.gif According to simple Runs Created, they scored 8% more than they should have; linear weights puts that at 14% more. The reason is obvious, their outstanding performance with runners in scoring position. While I would be more inclinded to attribute their success in those situations to mostly dumb luck (take a sample of a population enough times and you'll get all sorts of averages) it would be interesting to see their "clutch" numbers as a team before and after 1988. My gut tells me their would be no coorelation. Using the "runs created" expected runs of 584, the pythagorean predicts a .532 winning %, or only 85 wins. I'm sure this isn't the only team to "fluke" their way to the playoffs but the fact that they actually won it all makes it very amazing. They pretty much did better than expected in everything http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif You wouldn't know their record in 1 run games, would you?
