Giants led with 31 one-run games

Giants led with 31 one-run games I heard it quoted that the Giants seem to have won a lot of one run games. Checking this with the Sports Data Query Language is fun and easy. To see that, indeed, the Giants led the MLB in one run wins last year with 31 use the SDQL: Sum(runs-1==o:runs)@ team and season=2010 [url]https://sportsdatabase.com/mlb.py/query?sort=Sum%28runs-1%3D%3Do%3Aruns%29&text=Sum%28runs-1%3D%3Do%3Aruns%29%40%20team%20and%20season%3D2010[/url] To see that the White Sox got 39 in 2005 use the SDQL: Sum(runs-1==o:runs)@ team and season [url]https://sportsdatabase.com/mlb.py/query?sort=Sum%28runs-1%3D%3Do%3Aruns%29&text=Sum%28runs-1%3D%3Do%3Aruns%29%40%20team%20and%20season[/url] best regards, Dr. SDQL

MLB Futures correlation?? I wonder if there's a correlation between the number of one-runs wins a team has in one season and their RSW futures result in the next. Or maybe we have to look at one-run wins minus one-runs losses. In other words, the team's W-L record in games decided by one run. Prof M.

I would compare 1-run game winning percentage with regular season winning percentage and fade/back teams on RSW the following year if the variance was more than, say, .050. (Would have to see how many .050 gives you so you only get two or three teams both ways.) I can't help but think that this is something pros already consider, though, and that's who bets these. Perhaps you hit these on the open and then play some back on Opening Day, hoping for a middle. After all, if we hit these at open and then Fez and Fez-equivalents tell everyone they're good plays, the line could move another two or three wins, right?
