Assuming the probability to win with white is 40% and the probability to win
with black is 30% you get probability of 0.00432 to get 5-0 for Deep Junior.

After the first games I guessed that it was only luck but now I guess that it is
not only luck so I expect Junior to increase the difference in the match.

Junior sacrificed material in most of the games.

Deep Fritz was very happy in part of them.

In the first game Deep Fritz saw an advantage of 1.19 pawn at move 35.
In game 3 the score was even +1.31 for Deep Fritz at move 43.
