I totally agree being a little lucky is always a part of any run. But those teams (especially the 2015 team) simply dominated the competition in every phase of the game for the entire season. Some luck? Sure. But luck is not the reason they came out on top. They were truly better than every team in baseball from day one of the 2015 season. The 2014 team wasn't as dominant all season, but they WERE unstoppable in the post-season until facing the Bumgarner's.
