-51
CLS Score
2nd unluckiest of 30 in the MLB

Giants are cursed by baseball's most unforgiving luck signal: one-run games. 52 wins from 56.2 expected by Pythagorean run differential. They're outscoring opponents overall but losing the sequencing — tight games, bunched innings, BABIP variance. The regression is coming, and it usually comes fast. Top driver: One-Run Game Record (-21.5 CLS impact). 11-22 in one-run games (33% — below the .500 norm where teams historically regress, bad sequencing luck)

Why?

Giants are deeply cursed at -51. This level of underperformance almost never persists. The data they're generating - the chances created, the shots taken, the defensive work - all point to a team better than their record. Regression to the mean is one of the most reliable forces in sports.
