O's Outplaying their Pythagoran Again

[NCRaven]

Per the MLB.com standings, the O's expected Won-Loss record based on 12 RS and 7 RA, is 1-1. They are just not that good.

While funny, the one real thing worth noting among those types of runs scored/ record trends is that Orioles won their first one run game of the year. A lot was made about their record in those games two years ago.

At the risk of destroying comedy... 12 scored and 7 allowed corresponds to a winning percentage of .731. In two games that means 1.46 wins, and since you can't win .46 games it's a coin flip as to whether that's 2 wins or 1.

Who cares about Pythagorean record? What's really important is how does the O's ERA compare to their FIP?

It's been 2 games, that's far too little of a sample size.

What kind of coins do you own that have a .46/.54 split? Clearly you cheat in Vegas.
