Coin Flip Odds

Assuming the remaining games are determined on coin-flips...

13% Giants win 4-0
19% Giants win 4-1
19% Giants win 4-2
16% Giants win 4-3

66% Giants win

6% Rangers win 4-1
13% Rangers win 4-2
16% Rangers win 4-3

34% Rangers win

Historically, the winner of game 1 wins the series only 62% of the time. Interesting that momentum would appear to work AGAINST the winner of game 1.

Well, hopefully with SF_Envy visiting the ESPN board, that means the Giants are in for some more good luck.

Still, I'll take 62%. That's heavily favored for this team. See "teams against all odds" (ie. the 1980 USA hockey team or The Mighty Ducks).

Some fitting irony...

If the Giants are to win the World Series this year, they will end the 2010 campaign with exactly...

103 wins.

I love it!!!!

 

[Heathbar012]

Hahahaha. Nice. And beat the Braves to do it, no less.

Hahahaha. Nice. And beat the Braves to do it, no less.

Hadn't thought of that aspect...

Didn't we go 12-6 against the Rox this year as well?

 

[Heathbar012]

Sounds about right. Add exorcising the Game 6 demons from clinching in Philly, and it seems the majority of the past Giants pitfalls are being avenged. Maybe Atlee Hammaker could throw out the first pitch for the Series clinching game. I think that takes it too far. How about striking out Ozzie Smith in a whiffle ball game at McCovey Field?

Giants win 4-0 25%
Giants win 4-1 25%
Giants win 4-2 19%
Giants win 4-3 13%

Giants win 82%

Rangers win 4-2 6%
Rangers win 4-3 13%

Rangers win 18%

No team has lost the Series when up 2-0 since 1996 and historically, teams that are up 2-0 win 79% of the time.

I like these odds even more. .

No. Maybe the next time around, but that jinx is not buried yet.

True. Plus, that is more of a "Giants' pitchers in the All-Star game getting rocked and starting to suck floppy, donkey dick curse" that Timmy and Wilson have slowly been destroying each year. Of course, Big Daddy owns a little bit of that one with Atlee. I guess it will die with a World Series Championship!

Nice. Thanks.

No one thought we'd sweep (except Ralph Barbieri who said so today on the radio about an hour before game time...I don't hate the guy but what a maroon.)
