Rick N. Backer Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 https://sabr.org/res...ome-back-behind An interesting analysis on odds of a team winning based on world series history. For instance, how likely is a team down 0-2, like the Dodgers are, to come bak and win the series? hint: it's not likely Pssst. Google 1986 World Series.They have slightly less than a one on five chance (19.6%) Still, around here, we wait until the coffin is nailed shut. We've seen Dracula climb back out too many times.Out here, in the laid back West, we've already booked our tee times! NOW we can exhale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Lots of home runs Amazing considering Chavez Ravine is quite a pitchers park when it come to home run distance compared to Texas and Colorado. From what I understand, the toughest for home runs is Petco Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snitker did a fine job. The Braves won 72 games last year, and 90 this year. They didn't have much competition in their division, though. They also lost 6 of their last 10 games in September. The Brewers missed the playoffs by one game last year. This year, they roared in September and won 9 of their last 10 games, and they caught the Cubs when everyone said that they were done. They had the best record in the National League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have a point about the NL playoffs but it seems like the Dodgers turn into the Tijuana Dodgers when they get to the World Series considering the donkey show they put on when they get there.

They haven't released anything, or toured since the Cubbies won it all. Quite a span of geological time in between.
