Yes indeed, the San Diego-ose has landed. Watch out Phillies, you are the next stop on the Padres migratory path to the World Series.

Yep, this is what happens when you flip coins to see who the "best team" is. Gotta love baseball and the 5 games series.

It's abundantly clear that Boone has lost the clubhouse. The disconnect with him and the players was shown when he doubled down on Holmes being "Sore" and unable to close the game, only for Severino and Holmes himself to say, "We don't know why our closer wasn't brought in, in the ninth inning." They deserve to lose with the disgraceful way Boone has been managing.

Just out of curiosity, what does the math say about the difference between a 5-game and a 7-game series in terms of the probability of a major underdog knocking off a favorite? Just for fun, let’s say a hypothetical team with 89 wins was facing another hypothetical team with 111.

If MLB wanted the team with the best record to be the champion it could just eliminate the playoffs. I think the current format with a good chance for upset in the early rounds is great. Shorter series should favor the teams with the best top rotation anyhow, in theory.

Based on the regular season win totals, the 111-win team should beat the 89-win team 55.6% of the time. That gives the better team a 60.4% chance of winning a best-of-5 series and a 68.5% chance of winning a best-of-7 series.

How about NFL playoff where you lose once and you are gone? And flipping coins is a ritualized part of every football game.
