When is the last time you can remember a team going into the playoffs ice cold like this who was able to turn it on when they had to and win the World Series?

The Phillies last year weren't great in September, but winning those games in St. Louis got them red hot going into the NLDS and they beat the Braves like a rented mule.

I think in the case of the Phillies, their August and September numbers should be what we expect from them in October considering that’s when Bryce got in the swing of things and Turner finally started hitting like he had in previous seasons.

Ignoring that as mere random hot streaks is ignorant as frick.

I’m sure it’s happened more recently but I’m pretty sure the 2000 Yankees went ~5-17 after clinching early like this Braves team and had no trouble turning it back on.

The success rate of teams clinching very early like this would be an interesting study.

This discussion lead me that find this, FWIW.



Doesn’t appear to be a massive correlation between September success and postseason success.
