There's nothing that you're doing wrong, and the AI isn't cheating. It's just that, with a small sample size such as ten games, the probability is there for just about any sequence of events to happen that can easily fool you into thinking there is a pattern. Over time, players with 3-0 counts will walk more often than players with 0-2 counts. Players with a 13 in control and 14 in eye will end up better hitters than those with an 8 and 7, respectively.

You might wish to auto-play a season or three in another created league, and then examine the stats to see this for yourself. Or if you want, sim a month with your team and take another look. The game is based on probabilities and ratings, and not AI cheating to gain an unfair advantage.

Anything could happen in ten games. Frankly, anything can happen in one season (although it's much more likely players will have results closer to their ratings over a season than in just 7% of a season). Don't try to assign too much weight or find patterns to anything over such a short period of time - you'll only get frustrated.
Thanks. I will probably sim a whole season...thus not getting frustrated. I have lost three games in a row because of this frustration. Anyway...thanks for the post and I will see how it goes with more games under my belt.
