I agree that the odds of winning more games than your opponents in a 162-game regular season far outweigh the odds of winning a short series. As you observe, three good pitchers would do it. Get some lucky hits and you're in. Thus when inferior teams as judged by the standards of the regular season make it through to the World Series it delegitimizes the game for themselves as well as for their vanquished opponents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
