Small sample: this pairing has only 47 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.
Why this works
Struggling for farm on the same side of the map often leaves the team feeling behind. Timbersaw wants to be a menace, farming aggressively between the enemy's towers, but this is the same space Chen needs to dominate with his creeps to apply pressure. The result is two core-like heroes competing for resources instead of enabling each other. Neither hits their timings when they should, and the problem gets worse because neither hero provides reliable lockdown for the team's ganks. Granted, you don't see this duo often, so the right plan might not be obvious.
