Re: What percentage of doubleheaders are swept?
I voted 20-30 which is absurd.
If two equally skilled teams play two in a row and the outcome of the first doesn't affect the second then the probability of a sweep is 1/2. If the teams are less evenly matched the probability is higher. Also, I think winning the first game would make a team slightly more likely to win the second because the other team's bullpen probably got more use so they wouldn't have their best guys in there the second go. I'm going to guess 75%.
