The Indians set a new team record with their 15th win in a row, beating the White Sox Thursday night 11-2. Francisco Lindor missed the cycle by a double, and Corey Kluber struck out 13 batters in seven innings. All in all, the Indians slugged out ten extra-base hits, including five home runs.
When the Indians started the streak, they were playing .552 ball. There are 148 chances in a baseball season to start a 15 game streak. The probability of a .552 team going on a 15 games win streak during a season is about 0.02. The Indians are now a .600 team. The probability of a .600 team producing that streak during a season is 0.25. I’d say that based on this streak, the Indians are a lot more likely a .600 team that was under-performing than a .552 team that was over-performing.
We’ll see how long they can keep it going.
