    Is that Ben Verlander stat accurate? If the road team wins game 2 of a 5 game series, they win the series 68% of the time at 15-7?

    Would be obscure at best. Would also bet that any road team that wins game 1 of a 5 game series has an even higher winning percentage.

    Would also like to see the breakdown of that above stat if the road team in fact lost game 1.

    Yeah,I would imagine the road team securing a split of the first 2 games isn't a huge predictor of victory.

    You could absolutely predict Neris yesterday. He’s been living on the edge for so long now that it was bound to happen at some point.

    How many times does the team winning game 1 of a five game series go on to win the entire series?

    You’re right, he’s 3-2 in WS, which is elite. Verlander is 1-6.
    13-13 overall in postseason… meh
    In any case, this year postseason ERA is 162.00 (!!!), he’s not been THaT bad…

    Not sure but I heard a cool stat from Dusty Baker yesterday - the team that wins the most games in a series wins the series 100% of the time.

    Road teams that win 3 straight games in a 5 game series win 99.6% of the time. There was that one time in 1893 where the winning team was found to have used a monkey as their starting pitcher (which negated the series) called georgegate
