So the Final Four is set, and it is:
29) 1954 Yankees (16-5)
33) 1998 Braves (16-4)
22) 1937 Yankees (16-7)
55) 1938 Yankees (16-11)
Anyone who saw that coming, I'd like you to please PM me this week's lottery numbers because...There's just no way you could've seen it.
3 more "upsets" brings us to a total of 26, versus 34 times when the "favourites" have won, hence the quote marks. There have been 8 sweeps in the 60 series' so far. 11 of them have gone 5 games, 20 have gone six, and 21 have gone the distance. Still hovering around the 70% mark for series' lasting at least 6 games, which is awesome, and to have 7 game series be the most likely outcome is cool too (35% of them). I'm looking forward to historical being patched up soon, but this has been a fun diversion while waiting, and certainly way more fun than I thought it would be when it was announced. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to lay any wagers on this tournament. What a crapshoot. Maybe Billy Beane was right after all.
