On Tuesday night, the Braves beat the Cubs 4-3 in a game in which they had 3 hits. JamesD wants to know how rare that is. As he points out there are games in which teams were no-hit and won: actually, there are five, the most recent being almost exactly 11 years ago, when the Dodgers beat the Angels without the benefit of a hit. But teams that are no-hit have a 2.3 percent chance of winning. I’m actually surprised it’s that high. In any case, here are the winning percentages by number of hits:
hits | games | wins | Pct |
Wait… what’s that last row?
