If you go back to when they resumed launches in December after the failure last spring...
Orbcomm OG2 - Landed at LZ-1 successfully. (success)
Jason 3 - Landed on OCISLY, but leg didn't lock out. (failure)
SES-9 - Landed hard on OCISLY. Made a big hole in the boat. (failure)
CRS-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)
JCSAT-14 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)
Thaicom-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)
So they're at 67% right now, but the fact that they've landed three in a row, twice in the most difficult scenarios (GTO missions), bodes well.
Now they just have to re-launch one...
