One of my teams is 8-20, despite having the best offense of any of my teams. It's mostly due to terrible luck.
1) The offense exploded in 2 games and scored like 17 runs each time. Take those 2 games away and the offense is pretty average. It's just bad luck that all that offense was combined into 2 games. All their players are on different teams, so it was just random.
2) They've drawn several ridiculous opposing pitcher performances. The latest was a CGSO by Scott Feldman. They also drew the CGSO by Ivan Nova. It's hard enough to win when the other teams' aces pitch like aces.
3) They've also lost 4 really close games, by less than 0.2 runs. Normally those are a coin flip, but all have broken against them.
We're not even talking about injury luck or anything like that. Just the randomness of the game and schedule has been incredibly unlucky. With an average amount of luck this team could easily be .500, maybe higher. This team *should* rebound but we'll see.
This is why I hate H2H leagues.
