I think it was Joe Buck who stated that world series teams who win the first two games have a 79% chance of winning the series. Detroit would have to win 4 of the next 5 games in order to cash in on their 21% statistical odds. On the other hand, if Detroit wins all of their home games, they only have to win one of two in SF to become world champs. Any way you spin the probabilities and statistics, Detroit has an uphill climb. Now if that damn ball had not hit third base, and that bunt did not stay fair, then...
Not looking to good is it Dave? It can be done, and has in the past, but rarely.
It would be extra exciting if the Tigers came back.
