On paper this team was projected to win maybe 81-84 games depending on who's projections you looked at right? It doesn't take a LOT of luck to have that become 78 wins or 87 wins. And a weak division changes things a LOT. Is that lucky? Yes, it sort of is. Is having Melky and Bautista playing this well lucky? Not so much, they're just playing more to their true talent level and not hurt.
