Jays will win 100 games if they can go .500 in 1-run games

Nice to see the Jays winning back to back 1 run games. The Jays will win their share of blowouts once the offense heats up. Their expected wins was 102 last year and they went 15-28 in 1 run games. Just need a little luck and we will break the franchise record. Also noted they won 2 games in a row without a HR! Wonder when the last time that happened?

Are you Matt Harvey the Arencibia number one fanboy?

The record in 1-run games doesn't matter at all. Its a bunch of crap.

is expected Pythagorean record crap? I'd imagine across a large sample a properly weighted combination of pythagorean record + 1 run game record would be highly correlated to actual record

No way we finish .500 in one run games with the ever-astute John Gibbons running the show, the only manager in the modern era to get into fist fights with two of his players in the same season.

Lets fight irl?

The Blue Jays will probably be well below .500 in one-run games because all the victories will end up as multi-run victories because of the very, very powerful lineup. This is what happened last year, so no one should delude themselves into thinking the team is somehow deficient in this respect.

 

The team wins one-run games the best way they can: by putting up three or four more runs to put it out of reach so that bloopy s*** can't do much damage. The one-run "stat" is arbitrary and silly. If Jones homered today instead of the wild pitch it would have been a 7-3 game and would fall right off the radar for the one-run crowd by mid-season.
