Have you noticed shorter flight time for East-West flights than reverse?

Has anybody noticed flights traveling east to west are arriving earlier than flights going west to east. Am I the only one that noticed?

example:
Yesterday AA 1247 ORD LAX arrived 32 minutes ahead of schedule

but my cousins LAX-ORD UA 68 (September 27th) took 3hrs 52m which is usually flying time for ORD-LAX (around 4 hours).
