2011 MLB Playoffs

How often does the game 5 winner win the series when the last two games are played on the road?

I'm sure it would depend if the game 5 winner was ahead or behind in the series. In the case of the Tigers, I suspect their odds would be in the 15% range but that's merely my guesstimate since I can't find the information anywhere. Anyway, you asked a great question...I would love to know the answer.
 
Jimbo, the part you're missing is the winner of game 5 "with the series was tied at two games" goes on to win...etc.

The Tigers were down 3-1 and the odds are still stacked against them since they will have to win three-in-a-row. Regardless, I have faith in the Tigers being able to win two in Arlington. :)

Well .... they didn't go into enough detail !

Three occasions come to mind (although there's probably more):

1979 World Series- Pirates were down 1-3 to the Orioles and came back and won the series, including Games 6 and 7 in Baltimore


1985 ALCS- Royals were down 1-3 to the Blue Jays and came back and won the series, including Games 6 and 7 in Toronto

2004 ALCS- Red Sox were down 0-3 to the Yankees and came back and won the series, including Games 6 and 7 in New York
 
Saturday- American League Championship Series- Game 6

Tigers (Scherzer) at Rangers (Holland)-8:05pm ET (FOX)- Rangers lead series 3-2
 
IF Texas wins, I HOPE they play as well in the WS, last year I don't think they did and it cost them.

Is the WS scheduled yet, when does it start ?
 
Peralta hits one out to RF as well.

Tigers up 2-0

Announcers act like they were lucky JUST clearing the wall.

Just gotta love impartial announcers.
 
Sherzer's NOT staying on top of his pitches tonight, thus he's been somewhat wild and now OUT of the game.

edit:
Hadn't realized that THAT was his 4th walk.
 

Happy Halloween Everyone!
