Winning Streak Comparisons:
The Rays won their 13th straight yesterday- in walk-off fashion, just as the 1982 Braves and the 1987 Brewers did.
The Run Differential Comparison:
ATL: 66-34
MIL: 89-53
TBR: 101-30
- the Moneyball A's of 2002 walked off the last three of their twenty straight wins!!
The Braves lost 5 straight following their winning steak, and late in the season, lost 19 of 21 games...barely reaching the post-season.
The Brewers lost 7-to-1, then won four straight.
FYI- Braves Country News: on this date in their first season in Atlanta, after loosing its first to games to the Pirates, the Braves did not play. However, that day was when Greg Maddux and David Justice debuted on this earth...so it wasn't a total washout. They won the following day.
