Does winning a bunch of one-run games pay off?

The Marlins went into their off-day Thursday leading the majors in walk-off wins (11), one-run wins (32) and wins in their last at-bat (21). 

So does being great at winning tight games pay off? History shows us the majority of the teams that have won at least 32 one-run games in a season since 1993 have gone on to do some good things.

A dozen made the playoffs, two won the World Series (2005 White Sox and 1997 Marlins) and seven reached the League Championship Series. Only one of those 22 teams finished with a losing record: the 2000 Marlins, who wound up third in the NL East at 79-82.

Here's the list of the 23 teams since 1993 that have won at least 32 one-run games during the season. Remember, the Marlins (63-63) have 36 games left on the slate. The record for the most one-run wins in a season belongs to the 1978 Giants (42-26). They finished 89-73 and third in the NL West.
