Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I have scored 543 runs and allowed only 440 for a run differential of 103.
Yet my record is only 52-51. Another example of strat normalization and fixing of results or just bad luck?

What's your record in 1-run games?

You win 10-2 and lose 4-3

The 1960 World Series. Yankees scored 55 runs, Pirates scored 27. Yankees more than doubled the runs Pirates scored.
Pirates win 4 games to 3.

Sometimes i skimp on the back end of my relief corps. I notice that when i do the run differential suffers (from those cheap guys pitching 5 run innings when i'm already down by six.

I have found that teams playing in bomber parks are prone to badly underperforming their Pythagorean W-L record. I suspect that's because they frequently get into the low-budget relievers at home, as mueller says. T=You could fix that by playing in Petco more often.

My park is in Toronto.

Did not check record in 1 run games. Suppose it is on my site somewhere.

Not a Jay fan myself. But given the run differential and the additions could get interesting north of the border rest of season.

The Blue Jays are currently 9-22 in one-run games this season.

I see they are 11/23 in one run games and 22-6 in games decided by 5 or more runs, but I am pretty sure this is impossible so major league baseball must be normalizing results of games. I would like a full explanation from the league office on how this possibly could occur.

ok 11-23, guess I missed a few. I went to baseball-reference and counted game by game.

still pretty ugly in 1-run games....bullpen is weak at the end.
