Why do some franchise mode games seem pre-determined?

So about every 5-10 games or so, I'll have a game where literally I get line-out after line-out. I'll square up 75% of the balls and they go right to the defender. I strike out maybe once per game, and the rest are outs, so effectively my BABIP (batting average on balls in play) is 1-26, as I usually can squeeze 1 cheap hit in the infield. This absolutely never happens in the real MLB. A team would never go 1-26 (or anywhere along those lines) in a full game, let alone every 5-10 games.

Why does this feel so rigged? I'm using the Red Sox, and go on huge winning streaks when it feels like the computer forces me to hit into outs to challenge me. I'm on HOF difficulty btw. Any other franchise guys encounter this? This isn't just "well that's baseball sometimes". If the Red Sox square up 75% of pitches they wouldn't EVER have a BABIP of 1-26, let alone every few games.
