Re: What percentage of doubleheaders are swept?
I can't remember where I read the stat yesterday, but it was to disprove the old idea that it's harder to win both games in a double header than back to back games. Since 1990 there has been 340 double headers and the team that won the first game won the second game 51% of the time. In the same time frame the team that won the first game of any series won the second game 51% of the time. There is really no difference to games played in the same day or not.
