My point, better stated, is that there seems to be a wider spread of "win-success" in real life than in OOTP. A 28% to 46% difference is somewhat significant - to say in an OOTP league pitchers tie for the win lead almost half the time does suggest they are clumped together more than in real life.

I'm aware that "wins" stat may not be part of the cause-of-the-effect, but it is a result that does not reflect historical stats. It is just "odd" when you have 2+ pitchers tied with the same number of wins twice as much as it happened in real life.

Clarification; I play historical fictional leagues between 1901 and present with game settings reflective of the years being played. The 189 seasons I pulled out to assemble are a comparable size and time period database to the 212 major league seasons it is being compared with.

All I am suggesting is that a 28% to 46% difference is significant enough to warrant discussion. It is just plain "odd" to see pitchers tied in Wins almost every other year.
