We've won 3 of the first 4 in May and are sitting at 13-6, 5 games ahead of the real-world performance. Pitching is still going gangbusters.
Either RNG is still really favoring us right now, the advantage of using lineups based on ratings vs. historical is bigger than I expected, or OOTP secretly puts the thumb on the scales for player teams (something I've never actually tested). I still think it's RNG. In a great RNG season, this team would be at best .500.
Ok, here's the shutout countdown, something I enjoy doing.
Only two teams in MLB history have ever gone an entire season without being shut out. Here's how the shutout countdown is going in this sim:
8 teams still alive: Astros 13-6, Athletics 11-12, Angels 9-9, Dodgers 14-10, Yankees 12-6, Mets 4-14, Giants 19-5, Cardinals 12-7
