That doesn't make your observations anymore accurate.
Proof Mets aren't luckiest team:
Mets W-L
78-61
Pythagorean
77-62
Marlins W-L
70-69
Pythagorean
66-73

Whatever. The point is the Mets are playing close to their Pythagorean prediction which means they are neither overachieving nor underachieving as you are making it seem to be.
Ever hear of the phrase "Good teams make their own breaks"?

It's a good indicator of whether a team is overachieving or underachieving and it proves the Mets are playing at the level they should.
