The regular season is not a crap shoot. Over 162 games the cream rises to the top.
The post season IS a crap shoot. Otherwise, why have the Dodgers, the best team over the past decade, won only one World Series?
Or the Yankees, the third best team over the last decade, not even won a pennant?
How did Arizona, with an average offense (8th in the NL in SLG and OPS), with below average (10th in the NL) in homers), get to the WS last year?
How did the 2014 Royals get to the Series?
LAST in the AL in homers. 11th in SLG. 10th in OPS.
And how did the Royals manage to WIN the Series the next year?
14th in the AL in homers. 8th in SLG. 7th in OPS.
Get back to me when you can answer those questions.
I will give you two hints:
