It's possible but this is hardly last year's team. The way things currently look, .500 over the last 74 games is a lot more likely than 19 games over .500
Last year's team played well during the 8 game skid. This year's team has looked mostly awful going 2-6.
It hasn't been bad luck that's held them back either, they've more than deserved each loss. During that 8 game skid, they deserved to win at least 4 of those games IMO. The trend for each team is is opposite directions.
