Shutout 2 Games Straight Stats - 2008

[BetCrimes1984]

These results are from the start of the 2002 season til the end of last season. Only instances from regular seasons are included.


Straight-up Results

Overall .................................................. .............. 45-35

Teams who finished w/winning season records ............. 21-15
Teams who finished w/.500 or worse season records ..... 24-20

Not suprisingly, good teams bounce back better off consecutive shut-outs than bad teams do. But even for teams who finish .500 or (most often) worse on a season, even they play around .500 ball off such a wretched couple of days.


Sequence Results

Facing the team who shut them out twice .................. 13-11
Facing the team who shut them out the 2nd time .......... 8-12
Playing a team who didnt execute the shut-outs .......... 24-12

Getting away from the team who executed the shut-outs seems to be the best tonic for any team.

Sequence Results tied to teams final record

Teams finishing w/winning season records -

Facing the team who shut them out twice ................... 6-2
Facing the team who shut them out the 2nd time ......... 4-5
Playing a team who didnt execute the shut-outs ......... 11-8

Good teams fare best when facing the opponent who has delivered both the shut-outs. They have the most difficult time being shut out then moving on to a new series where they then get shut-out in game 1.


Teams finishing w/.500 or worse season records -

Facing the team who shut them out twice ................... 7-9
Facing the team who shut them out the 2nd time ......... 4-7
Playing a team who didnt execute the shut-outs ......... 13-4

Bad teams fare best getting away from the the team who shut them down. A new opponent seems to be a breath of fresh air. Facing the same team who shut them out in the previous game is simply bad news for bad teams.

All teams, no matter what their final season record, fare best when getting to meet a new opponent and not playing the team who executed the shut-outs on them, which is Detriot's situation here.

4/12 - Detroit _0-7_ Chicago
4/13 - Detroit _0-11 Chicago
4/14 - Detroit 11-9_ Minnesota

good study becrimes. have you also made the study for home teams that were shut out for the first time in the first game of a 3 or 4 game series at home?
I've heard that these home teams "tend "to bounce back well in the second game

Great stuff BC. Its funny I was just kinda thinking about this today and was wondering what the trends were. Always on top of it.
