  • 1.  Rare Event?

    Posted 08-25-2017 23:06
    I noticed in today's MLB standings that 28 teams have a winning (or losing) streak of one!
    Twins/CWS are the only exception; too bad the Twins didn't win last night.
    Due to scheduling nuances, and other complexities, it is difficult to calculate the probability of such an event occurring in a given season. Using crude approximations (simplifying assumptions), it doesn't appear to be that unusual. Comments?
