Like I said earlier in another thread the baseball playoffs are a crapshoot. What happened in the LDS round illustrates that. The Orioles of 101 wins lost in 3 straight to the Rangers, and the heavy favorites in the National League, the Dodgers and the the Braves both lost to wild-card teams. Only the Houston Astros, who had the least impressive regular season record among the favorites advanced. The team that wins the playoffs in the major leagues, I assert, is not the best team in the major leagues for the most part. There is a lot of rolling the dice involved, who happens to be hot at the time.
I also note that having the home field has meant nothing. The baseball advantage of having the home field is the least significant of the sports I follow. The Orioles, for instance actually had over 162 games a better record on the road than at home.
