7/19: Another Sweep Avoided

Recommended Posts

Now 70 straight series of 2+ games without being swept, spanning 222 games, including:

2 games: 6 times

3: 50

4: 13

5: 1

Assuming the games were all coin flips, the chance of it happening randomly is 1 in 10,651.

The Braves (since 1950) record of 232 consecutive games between series sweeps is now just 3 series away (@TBR 4, @Phi 3, NYY 3) and they could set the record @Tor (4).  Still a tough row to hoe.

The 2 teams that remain ahead of the Orioles in terms of games between sweep series are Tor (92-93) and Atl (03-05).  Both had playoff games included in that run and the Orioles have passed the Jays and tied the Braves now in terms of regular-season runs.
