Read that, like, a million times.

Out of curiosity, what's the percentage for Game 2 winners? I would think THAT'S the key game... it's either a sweep (figures in the game 1 winners), or it's a momentum shift.

Would like to see a breakdown: how many teams who won game 1, won in game 3; how many swept; how many teams took 2 & 3.

My uneducated guess is that the sweeps and the 2-3 winners are the two highest.

I already posted those numbers based off of my memory from the broadcast.

Game 1 Winners have swept in two games 7 times. (7/14 = 50%)

Game 1 Winners that lose game 2 have also lost game 3 four times. (4/14 = 28.6%)

Game 1 Winners that lose game 2 have won game 3 three times. (3/14 = 21.4%)

So, for the 71% total for game 1 winners it's 7+3 = 10, and then 10/14 = 71%.

HOWEVER: Once the series goes to three games, game 1 winners have only won 43% of the time.

Tigers are in good shape should they win tonight...obviously in better shape than if they don't win.

Ok, I looked:

Since it went to a 3 game series, there have been 14 champs.

There have been 7 sweeps; the other 7 years it has gone 3 games.

Teams that won games 2 & 3 have won 4 times, teams that won games 1 and 3 have won 3 times.

So:
Teams that win Game 1 have won 10 out of 14 series,
but
Teams that win Game 2 have won 11 out of 14.

Teams that won Game 1, but lose Game 2, have won 3 out of 14.

Key game is tonight.

edit- you posted already
