World Series Game 2's in progress. The Dodgers leads the Blue Jays 1-0 going in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

Blue Jays score and the game's tied at 1.

They don't have to win four in a row. They just have to win four total. Maybe they stretch it out and win it all at home.

i know but if they do try to win 4 games in a row then that would be intresting

The Dodgers are now pouring in the runs late in the game. It's 5-1 at the Top of the 8th.

After last night's game people online were acting like the Dodgers lost the series. Now here they are with the lead late in game two.

You can never count the Dodgers out.

 

[Skyefire]

It's the World Series, you can't count anyone out.

Dodgers pitcher is going for a complete game. You don't see that often in the post season.

Half as many total runs equals a much quicker game than last night.

Dodgers pitcher is going for a complete game. You don't see that often in the post season.

That's the first time since 2015 a pitcher pitched a CG in the World Series.

Teams that have won game 1 of the World Series by 7 runs or more have gone on to win the series 79% of the time.
Teams that have won game 2 after losing game 1 by 7 runs or more have gone on to win the series 82% of the time.
The Dodgers have won 68% of their World Series home games against AL East teams that are not the Yankees.
The Blue Jays have won 72% of their playoff home games when the starting pitcher was born in a country other than Canada.

That means that there's a 301% chance that either the Dodgers or The Blue Jays will win the World Series.

Thank you Professor Scott Steiner.

So I was using the Steiner Math joke as a way to sort of poke fun of all of the online analytics. After game one people were saying "what happened to the Dodgers" and all sorts of stuff like that. Now I've seen how both 92 and 93 the Blue Jays won game 1 and lost game 2. It's one thing to use player and current team statistics to predict who's going to win, but some of this is getting ridiculous.

i think today is game 3 of the great war between the jays of blue and the doodgers in the series of worlds

 

[Molag Bal]

I side with the Dodgers
