Need a 3 run lead to even remotely feel safe. Everyone on PHI except Rojas is a solo HR threat

If Arizona pulls this off, they have to be the least talented World Series team I can remember. Their expected record was 80-82 and they were outscored by 15 runs on the season.

Even in this series they were outscored 28-17 through the first six games and their lineup has been mostly trash besides Marte. Gallen was trash in both of his starts. It's inexplicable what's going on right now.

It’s just playoff baseball in October. Random things and events happen all the time in a short period of time . The early 2010s tigers, the 2015 Blue Jays, plenty of great teams with high end talent all over in their lineup lost while lesser teams found a way to win and advance in October. It’s not like the nba where the logic is respected and the great talented teams win championships as expected. In baseball you get hot at the rough time and you win the WS. Momentum based sport. In basketball talented teams will always find ways to win regardless.

I'm a fan and even I don't quite understand it. I was worried if they could beat Milwaukee and certain they'd get bounced by LA. And after Game 2 of this series I thought it'd go 5 games max. Yet here we are in Game 7, 9 outs away from the WS.:why: Baseball is a weird game.
