The Arizona Diamondbacks W-L record lags expected win totals from Pythagorean and WAR estimates

The Diamondbacks expected win totals outperform their current season record

One of the story lines from the beginning of the season is the Diamondbacks having a disappointing start to the season. Through 46 games, the team is 21-25 and has been very streaky of late. The biggest factor towards that has been the guys that were expected to carry the team in 2016 have been unable to and it's been the unexpected contributors that have carried the team. Even though the Diamondbacks are 4 games below .500 and 6 games back of the NL West leading San Francisco Giants, there is still hope for a quick turnaround in late May-early June, similar to the 2011 team that wound up winning 94 games and was near impossible to beat in the 2nd half of the season.
