-200 or greater favs have won 22 straight times in July - WTF!!!

[Panekkkk]

27-6 so far in the month of July, 22 straight wins for -200 or greater favourites.

WTF is going on. Is this just a crazy, and I mean crazy statistical anomaly or are linemakers just getting that much better!?!?!?

[Chi_archie]

thanks for documenting that. I knew that it "seemed" like big favs kept winning... but I had no idea it had been 22 straight.....


good info.... not sure that we'll see regression to the mean in ausust and september as the rich teams will get richer by the trade deadline (and after with the waiver wire trades) and bolster up their rotations and add some hitters in weak spots. correspondingly the big dog type teams, will get weaker, like the pirates

Panekkk, would you mind posting the stats here for all to salivate over? I know you are on the right track, but every thread requires its own documentation.
