The Royals had the 7th most runs and a combined wRC+ of 99. That’s 1% below average. That’s *luck*.

Are we seriously calling a 15 game sample “consistently”? Does nobody here understand how baseball works?

Scoring almost all of your runs and a disproportionate number of them in the 8th and 9th inning is luck. When you are the only team doing something at a rate that no one else gets within 2 standard deviations of, you’re getting lucky.

You’re weird.
