After issuing an explanation this week for why the famed polling aggregator site FiveThirtyEight missed on Donald Trump, Nat Silver and company has turned to forecasting baseball.
They give the Chicago Cubs a 22% chance of actually winning the World Series this year, the best odds of any team.
Being a little over a month into the season, they say the Cubbies have a 97% chance of making the playoffs and a 90% chance of winning their division.
The next team distantly favored behind the Cubs to win the series? The Mets.
Well, I hope the Cubbies win it.
Like Hillary, they’re overdue and……entitled.
History would have us looking forward to a tremendous slump right after the All Star game, or a horrific collapse from the Cubs.
These guys are playing like some Traveling All-Star Team
Are we sure these guys aren’t just Mike Downs IPFW under another name? Remember him? He had Cruz 45-29 over Trump last week in Indiana.
Is the Billy goat curse over?….nahaaaaaah…
I’ll give them some props though…I watched them dismantle my Pirates in a three game series and they truly did look unbeatable…
One hundred and eight straight years says FiveThirtyEight is wrong. (Their last world series win)
I root for the Giants, but at this point they should be called the Gays
