I can't fault OOTP for misusing Mike Marshall - 200 IP is a lot for a non-starter. I suppose you could try moving the sliders for 'pull reliever' for the Dodgers or Marshall specifically all the way over, but that probably still wouldn't do it. Still, you would think the Dodgers would win some of the time.

If you combine that fact the real Angels underperformed their Pythagorean record by 8 games and add two good starters to replace Bill Stoneman (11 starts, 1-8, 6.14 ERA!!!) and some mediocre Ed Figueroa starts, winning the division could happen. Especially in a mediocre division where the RL second place team had a below .500 Pythagorean record.

I'm willing to chalk Marshall up to be anomolous and the Angels to be 'What if...'.
