10-0 in 1 run games IS a fluke and it's not just because of Gagne. There's still 8 innings before they can get the ball to him.
Last season, only 1 team had a W-L record better than .620, SF at 28-12. They were also a lucky team.
Besides Prior should have had the Cy last year but that's a totally different thread...
Beltre (career OBP .323) and Cora (career OBP .304) are also playing way over their heads. People don't go from years of mediocrity to superstars overnight. They may even have a career year but I'd be surprised if either hit over .310/.360/.500 for the whole year. Lo Duca is playing way over his head too.
They still might win with the weak division though.
