Best Chokers, Biggest Chokers

The game must hate me for building winners in my fiction league. Last four seasons:

2017: 118 wins, lose in Divisional round to wild card team. Mediocre pitcher (72-76/4.12 lifetime record) tosses a one-hitter and a two-hitter at us in same series. (In the next regular season, he'd no-hit us).

2018: 106 wins, same wildcard team, who won 87 games during regular season, bounces us from first round again.

2019: 119 wins. After taking a 2-1 lead, best pitching in baseball allows 30 runs over last three games. This from a well-rested staff; never need to overwork them in the regular season, since we won by so much.

2020: 119 wins again. Same team beats us in World Series, taking 3-0 lead when best pitching again gets hammered. Started comeback, then pitcher who was 11-17/4.86 shut us down in Game 6.

Thinking about firing myself.
