re: 71% of teams winning 1st game win the series

That is a terrible stat. That is just a little bit above what the average should be.
Please understand.
If you win game 1 you have three options.
1. Win game 2 and win the series. 33.3%
2. Win game 3 and win the series. 33.3%
3. Lose game 2 and 3 and lose the series. 33.3%
Honestly, the answer by stats should be 66.6% of teams winning game 1 win the series. so its just a little higher, 71%, which is most likely do to the small sample set, and not actually any meaningful reason. Remember, you can make statistics say anything you want.
Don't believe me, find out what the percentage is to win the series is you win game 2, I guarantee its around 66.6%.

that's not too big of a difference than 50%. If it was 90%, then I'd be worried, but 3 out of 10 teams in the finals win the next two games to take the championship. Not terrible odds.

That means 29% of the teams that don't win the first game, wins it all! I'll take those stats! LSU baseball is a rare breed so only special teams fit in the 29%... and I think LSU is better than 29% of the teams that are out there!

In 14 years of the series format, seven first game winners also won the second game and swept the series.
The other seven lost the second game. Of those seven, four also lost game 3 and the series, while three rebounded to win game 3 and the series. One of those three was LSU in 2009, by the way.
If these numbers are telling us anything, it's that half the teams in our situation tonight have won, and most of that half went on to win the next game and the title, too.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

Most years the teams throw their aces first game. In this case we have our best pitches on the second and third game.
Bottom line is you have to win two games out of three.
Tigers either win two or lose at this point with one of their best tonight in the best "rest" position to win.
Team still must go out and play better baseball than Florida.

I didn't get this stat they showed 7 time winner has won the 1st game and gone on to win. 4 and 3 for the others. Wouldn't that be more like 50%? Did I read that stat wrong?

71% of the time, they win 100% of the time

How about the fact Florida has won 3 out of 4 this year against us, both teams have equal talent, and baseball evens itself out with said circumstances. Therefore we win the next two, for the year we go 3-3 against Gators. I like this scenario best.

The way it was written, it appeared you meant ever, not just this year.
