"The ZiPS game-by-game odds give the Mariners-Blue Jays series about a 20 percent chance of going to seven games at this point; the Dodgers-Brewers series is at 37 percent for going the distance."
"No World Series has gone the distance since 2019; from 2001-2019, seven did so. So, the odds aren't that high. But I'm only asking if one series does."
Both Championship Series currently feature the lower seed leading 2-0. ZiPS game-by-game probabilities place the Mariners-Blue Jays series at roughly a 20 percent chance of reaching seven games and the Dodgers-Brewers series at about a 37 percent chance. No World Series has required seven games since 2019, and from 2001 through 2019 seven World Series went the distance. Historical frequency and current model probabilities suggest that the likelihood of a seven-game World Series or multiple seven-game series in these rounds is relatively low. The central question remains whether at least one series will reach seven games.
