Rover is correct.

For evidence, look at football standings vs baseball standings. The best football teams routinely go 13-3 (.812) or 14-2 (.875). The best baseball teams go maybe 102-60 (.629). To go .875 a baseball team would be 142-20.

This isn't very strong evidence. For starters, you can't compare the winning percentages of the best teams directly because baseball teams have 10 times as many game and are far more likely to have a winning percentage close to their "true" winning percentage. For example, the Brewers are a .750 team over their last 16. Those lofty winning percentages are attainable, even in baseball, over small sample spaces.
