The World Series matchup is all set. These were definitely not the most likely teams at the start of the postseason. Both had 20% chances at the start, which is right about 1 out of 5, which is what you'd expect by randomly selecting one of the 5 playoff teams from each league. But since they were division winners, and the playoff is a bracket, not round-robin, with random chance they'd have actually been 25% likely to make the World Series. So this year, I'm worse than the proverbial monkey with a dart board at picking the league champions, and the same will be true of the World Series champion, since I had both of these teams below 10%. This is why I'm not a gambling tycoon.
