TB Rays philosophy of complete reliance on analytics, platoons, matchups, bullpen games, using 10 relievers per game, constantly changing lineups is great for regular season but just doesn't translate to short playoff series success. Never has and never will. Will never in a million years win a championship with that formula.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

They were close in 2020.

[@mloftus8618]

Orioles/Rangers should be a high scoring series. As an O’s fan, I wanted TB since we knew their pitchers so well and they had so many big players out due to injury. But, if we’re gonna get to the WS, we need to earn it by beating the better team. OPACY is gonna be rockin! I was there last playoffs in 2014, and it was insane. Just search 2014 ALDS game 2.

Baseball is Variance. The brutal reality is that both these teams are +\- 12 wins due to Variance and the Rangers 90 wins belied their offensive talent because if they get back half the 9th inning blown saves they got and they’re a 98 win team. Baseball is controlled more by external factors (the hitter and pitchers skill) than any professional sport. Elevation, relative humidity, whether its a day or night game, field dimensions, sunshine, clouds. Home plate officials, the production of the baseballs, the production of the bat. Just so many little things even down to the way the grass is pointing (where balls bounce when they hit said grass). Just so many damn variables that affect short-term results and skew long term projections
