“Div” Series Update
Only the Yankees, who won (6-2) in game 2 last night in Boston, among the 4 division series road teams, won a game in the first eight played.
Their win last night made them (4-0) in game 2 of a post-season series vs the Red Sox, (5-0) counting the winner take all, last game of a 2 game series, the 1949 season final game, in which the great Vic Raschi and the Yankees prevailed, then proceeded to win a record 5 straight World Series.
The Yankees ended a 5 game losing streak vs Boston in post-season, their last win before last night also on a Saturday, a rout that gave them a (3-0) ALCS lead, Boston would overcome (the only baseball or basketball team to do so).
Elsewhere my 59/’59 series theory is very likely to manifest as the Dodgers and Milwaukee, now housing the Brewers as L.A. is facing the Braves, each lead (2-0).
The defending champion Astros flying under the radar (far from the days of Doug Rader, a good player), playing earlier, won the first two vs Cleveland.
