We're down to Game 7, and Chicago is about 60/40 favorites to win. I'm still rooting for Cleveland, though I'm a little worried their 3-man rotation, which has led to Corey Kluber pitching for the 2nd time on short (3 days) rest, might sink them against Chicago's 4 man rotation, which gives them Kyle Hendricks on normal rest. As I mentioned before, a Chicago win would make them the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the World Series since 1985. Unlike that interesting stat, Fox put up a very useless stat last night. They said this will be the first World Series Game 7 for Chicago since 1945. While that's true, 1945 was also their previous World Series appearance, so it's sort of a "this is the first time since the last time" type of stat. It's more interesting that this is only their second World Series game 7 ever, unless you count their history back to the 1885 White Stockings that tied the St. Louis Browns 3-3-1. It seemed to be on the screen just barely long enough for me to read it, so I almost wonder if a producer realized how silly it sounded and pulled it a few seconds early.
