How to explain South Carolina’s slump with Sabermetrics

We’re running out of explanations as to why the South Carolina Gamecocks can’t win a conference series.

By now it’s no secret SC is struggling in SEC play. They dropped their fourth series in a row to Florida this past weekend and have fallen to 9-9 in SEC play. But oddly enough over the last 12 SEC games South Carolina holds a +9 run advantage despite being 4-8 in those games. How do you explain that?

According to the Pythagorean Wins theory, South Carolina should be somewhere around nine wins in a 12 game span with +9 run differential.
