Exactly.
The pythagorean theory, or any form of calculation of expected W-L, are
just
estimates, not exact science. Since the Giants are just 2 games over the
expected W-L, I'd consider the expected W-L to be a good estimate in this
case, instead of treating it as an exact science and calling the Giants
lucky.
And Bill James didn't even take bowling night into account...
