If the Red Sox or the Astros were to lose Game 3, what are the odds they could pull of the miracle comeback? I don't think any team has done that in a MLB 7 game series.

So, what do you guys think the odds are, 100-1? 200-1? 500-1? For either the Sox or Astros... How desperate are the Sox and the Stros to win Game 3?

It's no big mystery.

The Red Sox are 4-1 dogs, or have a 20% chance. The A-Stros are 6.5-1 dogs, or have a 13% chance.

The scenario was if they happen to lose the next game, as well.

ah, my bad, I thought it was from today forward. That's not as well defined, but it would be about 6%

They each would have, respectively, two chances.

Slim and none.

Toro, you are a bright man. Good think you guys have the Pats up there, and of course the Celtics!

We'll have to see about the Celtics. My brother Steve's College fraternity brother at UMASS, Mr. Pitino set them back quite a bit.

The celtics are a team with talent, but they screw around to much and don't put out enough effort, yet.

do teams that go down 3-0 win 6% of the time? when you go down 3-0 psychological factors come into play that make you win much less than you should just based on the numbers.
