Then the 85-78 team upset a 123-39 team in the division series, only to lose to a 78-84 team in the championship series.
Last I checked the 78-84 team was 1-1 in the World Series. In Perfect League. Never seen that before. I'll be sure to check the series when I get home. I'm a little skeptical a team with the ballpark factors on super pitcher friendly and mediocre hitting that went 78-84 can win. They had a run differential of +17... my pitching essentially gave up as few runs as theirs (within 50 at least, certainly within 100) with a completely neutral park. I don't get baseball sometimes.
I suppose it helped the 78-84 team that they won the division quite a bit, because it let them skip the two teams with the best records when the other team had a bit of luck.

Hey, we were in the same division last season! I was the 123-39 team that got beat. That was our best regular season result ever. Sadly, Peak Pedro crashed pretty heavily after his perfect game, losing both his starts in the series.
Looks like the dice rolls kept coming for the J Dogs too
