hell yeah. the four teams that swept the LCS and waited until game 7 of the other series are 2-16 in World Series games. wow!


There have been 28 postseasons since MLB moved to a 7 game series for the LCS. I'm kind of surprised that in that time there have been 18 series that were 4 game sweeps.

Actually there have been 27 postseasons since the 7 game format to the LCS was introduced in 1985. I forgot the strike year of 1994. But as I reviewed the post seasons on Baseball Reference, there have only been 6 LCS games that were 4-0 sweeps.
