Yet Another Statistical Oddity:
The Braves won tonight- for the seventeenth consecutive game, they have alternated winning and losing.
I wonder if that's some kind of record. .

That can't last -- big bet on them to win their next game would seem to be in order.

A Possible Fly in the Ointment
The second game of the Braves double header with the Padres was suspended due to rain on July 21st. Regardless of who wins this game ultimately on Sept 24th, the LWLWL streak will be largely erased and truncated at 5 games.
But I'm not sure when a suspended game officially occurs, when it started or when it concluded. In this case it is 5 innings in July and 2 innings in September if that makes a difference.

If Babe Ruth called that shot he did it without Charlie Root, Gabby Hartnett, or any Cub infielder realizing what he was doing, otherwise Ruth would have been on the ground in a cloud of dust after the next pitch.

The year the Detroit Lions went 0-16, my buddy started betting on them to win after about the 8th or 9th game. He kept claiming that the odds of them losing this many in a row were astronomical, and that they inevitably had to win. He lost a lot of money that season.

Yeah. I made the mistake of betting on Pro Football twice: The first on one of the last games of the season when one team, who had already clinched, rested all but one or two starters against one of the worst teams in the league. The 'champs' lost by less than a touchdown. The second bet was again involved a heavy favorite and, though, it was not at season's end, my luck ran true again. With that second one, I learned my lesson...it helped to have friends to remind me. .

I know was just goofing. Although I still have trouble reconciling this with the Monty Hall problem.
