Abstract. Can one understand the statistics of wins and losses of baseball teams? Are their consecutive- game winning and losing streaks self-reinforcing or can they be described statistically? We apply the Bradley-Terry model, which incorporates the heterogeneity of team strengths in a minimalist way, to answer these questions. Excellent agreement is found between the predictions of the Bradley-Terry model and the rank dependence of the average number team wins and losses in major-league baseball over the past century when the distribution of team strengths is taken to be uniformly distributed over a finite range. Using this uniform strength distribution, we also find very good agreement between model predictions and the observed distribution of consecutive-game team winning and losing streaks over the last half-century; however, the agreement is less good for the previous half-century. The behavior of the last half-century supports the hypothesis that long streaks are primarily statistical in origin with little self-reinforcing component.

The victory ended a nine-game losing streak overall and an 11-game losing streak on the road. Five Alive Princeton has won five straight games in this series, including two at Fisher Stadium. Over that span of games, the Tigers have averaged 28 points per game. Princeton’s last win at Fisher Stadium was a 20-14 win in Week 2 of the 2007 season; that game was the last time Princeton defeated a nationally ranked program. The last meeting between these two teams was a memorable 36-33 overtime win for the Tigers at Princeton Stadium during Week 2 of the 2010 season. The win, the first for current head coach Bob Surace, was clinched by an overtime touchdown run by Jordan Culbreath; the senior back, who rushed more than 1,200 yards as a junior (2008), had missed the 2009 season after being diagnosed with aplastic anemia.
