0:00.0	Here you go.
0:03.0	go.
0:04.0	go. 87.5% and a half percent. That's the nothing personal word of the day. And that's also the chance of each of the four game one winners in yesterday's
0:26.2	MLB playoff debut winning the wild card series. There have been 16 two out of 3 series since 2020 and 14 of them have been won by the game one winner.
0:39.4	Quick math.
0:40.4	14 of 16 is 87.5%.

1:40.7	but then you want to watch when they're scoring opportunities for every game but in
1:43.9	baseball it's not like the red zone although in football you can have an ADR touchdown
1:47.5	but in baseball anyone at the plate is a scoring opportunity so it's all very confusing to me and dizzying, but man do I like it.
1:58.1	So there's a bunch of different stats. This is when I become a bit of a stat geek.
