Even a dominant team in baseball is still going to lose some games. If a very good baseball team has 4 great pitchers with good relief in the bullpen along with decent hitting their probability of winning might go above 80%. But there is something fluky about hitting a fast moving, twisting sphere with a cylinder. Putting a sphere through a circle with twice its diameter isn't child's play but it doesn't involve shooting off the opposition's most diabolical pass.
I think defense in basketball plays a greater roll in deciding basketball games than it does in baseball, though perhaps less than it does in football. Probably football and basketball both lend themselves to extended winning streaks more than baseball does. So I agree that the Tiger's 35 - 5 start is the greater anomaly.
