I figured that 1-run games would be more common in this league since the teams are exactly the same. Historical data shows that roughly 25% of all games are decided by 1 run. The percentage is a bit higher for lower caps than higher caps due to lower scoring games at the lower cap levels. So far, 32 out of 96 games (33%) have been decided by 1-run.

My teams are 7-5 overall, but 1-4 in 1-run games.

I'm fairly certain that the individual that compiles the best overall record in the three leagues will be significantly above .500 in 1-run games.

I have a 4-0 team and an 0-4 team. Obviously one of the managers needs to be fired.

Had my streak of five straight 2-1 sessions broke up by two, one run losses. 11-7 now.

I guess a base stealing setting of 0 doesn't mean what I thought it meant. Johnny Mize thrown out on the lead of a double steal with us down 3 in the 6th. Johnny, no.

then four straight 2-1's and then a 1-2. So that's nine 2-1's and two 1-2's so far.

Fun with sample sizes...my worst-performing Mordecai Brown is 0-1, 6.75 ERA, 1.67 WHIP. No wait...did I say worst-performing? That's actually the best-performing of my Mordecai's. Oy vey....

Just had Jose Ramirez hit 3hr in a game, for my first 3-0 set.

2-(3-0)
11-(2-1)
4-(1-2)
1-(0-3)

After two 3-0's and a 2-1, I finally had my first 0-3. Thanks Santana!!

All three of my teams are below .500 in 1 run games. 7-15 overall. Anybody else worse?

Talk about insane variance. Note that my lineup and other settings are exactly the same in all three leagues.

Thru 22 games, my team 1 leads all three leagues in runs scored with 125 runs (5.68 runs/game).

My team 2 is dead last in all three leagues in runs scored with 69 (3.13 runs/game). Five of my seven batters are ranked in the bottom 3 in batting in the league (relative to their clones).

The overall average scoring is 4.25 runs/game.

Well, it is safe to say that I am the unluckiest owner in this theme?

Team 1: Win% .386, Exp Win% .496, Difference -.110, 1-Run Games: 3-5
Team 2: Win% .269, Exp Win% .365, Difference -.094, 1-Run Games: 3-6
Team 3: Win% .500, Exp Win% .596, Difference -.094, 1-Run Games: 2-9

Isn't this fun?

Just had another string of 2-1 sessions broke. This time 8 straight, after streaks of 4 and 5.

2-10

10-26

I keep waiting for regression to kick in, but it keeps getting worse. All three of my teams have the actual win% over 100 pts worse than exp win%.

Not you again 14-20
seeing double 25-9
triplets. 22-12

biggest difference that I can find is in my Jose Ramirez
production

not you again .220 3 hrs 15 RBI’s
seeing double .293 11hrs 28 RBI’s
triplets. .235 12 hrs 25 RBI’s

I’ll need to dig deeper but this is what stood out for me so far

Now 12-33 in 1-run games.
