Historical Wildcard Game Results

[Mkdaman1818]

The home team is just 2-6 in wildcard games since their inception in 2012. However, one of those home wins? Francisco Liriano and Russell Martin were the battery in a Pirates win over the Reds. Russell also hit the homer that sent the Pirates on their way.

 

FYI, the other was the KC Royals beating Oakland in comeback fashion.

So, playing at home sucks but Martin and Liriano is good.

Is this good, is this bad? Can Martin overcome the WC game home team curse? I can't wrap my head around all this new information. Too early in the morning for this, need a coffee.

These are some great Pat Tabler stats.

Well s***, you should have told Gibbons this so he could sit all the regulars yesterday. Now we have a 25% chance of winning instead of 75%.

I really don't think such a small sample size matters

Here's an interesting factoid. This is the first year since 2012 that the 2nd wild card became irrelevant. There are 2 ties for the wild card, one in each league. The teams with the better head to head record will host a game, and the winner advances to the LDS. This is exactly what would have happened pre-2012.

This sounds exactly like the type of irrelevant s*** I hear from sports betting message boards when obsessed dummies who can't live without skipping a game they can't really handicap need something to justify betting on one side or the other.

Didn't Grilli pitch the 9th in that WC game that Liriano threw to Martin?

 

Mind blown.

Pat: "I talked to him before the game and he said you know Pat, Im feeling good. Well, he's looking good too."

*Buck and Pat both start laughing

Same can be said about Dickey or even Goins and Barney.
