Instead of "Win Big or Go Home".... your teams motto should be "Win Big AND Go Home"......

How close to playoffs did you come?

Did you lose a bunch of close games?

What is your analysis? Bad luck and / or other factors?
Regardless, +130 is quite impressive!!

Here's one way back in ATG5, led the league in runs and was second in run differential at +166, but finished in 3rd place at 82-80:

My team was tied with 3 other teams for 2nd fewest one run losses, being 15-19 in one run games and 6-8 in extra innings. The Kingdome was home, so lots of blow out wins there.

14-23 in one run games
at 40-44 I realized that my two lefty starters were getting tattooed so I dumped them for 2 righties who did much better and went 47-31 after that. finished at 87-75

Closest I've come is +125 differential but finished 80-82/3rd in the division. (Would've won the East though, oh well.)

Here's the Virgo Quadrigis, +142 with 89 wins but third in the division. The second-place team was very lucky in close games while I underperformed:

Here's PBR Streetgang, 86 wins at +130. Strange bifurcated league of haves and have-nots. The OBP offence did okay in one-run games and extras but still finished nine games under expected:

And here's the Divine Rights at +149, with 89 wins but a dismal 16-34 in extras and one-run games:

High-scoring teams are most prone to this because of the pythagorean thing, but I've had a few bad-luck +100s from pitching teams, too. The formula is bad luck plus a good division.
