Alright Braves fans, listen up. Tomorrow’s game 1, let me break it down for you.
You got 9 innings.
You got 3 outs an inning.
That’s 27 outs.
But the Braves only need 1 more run than the Dodgers, so you take 27, subtract 1, add the 9 innings, carry the 2 and the Dodgers’ chances of winning just dropped to 33⅓%.
Then you add the Braves home run power to the mix, and their chances go up another 25%.
But the Dodgers KNOW they gotta come through Atlanta to get where they’re going, so you take their 33⅓%, cut it in half, and now they got a 16⅔% chance of surviving.
Braves got 83⅓%.
Dodgers got 16⅔%.
And if you don’t understand the math, don’t worry about it.
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE, AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR L.A.
CHOP ON!
"And we're really stopping the game? Can we get the base after the game? I mean this is pretty absurd. It's a hell of an accomplishment but you can't stop the game."
