To see the record of the team that covered the previous game of a playoff series, run this SDQL text:
playoffs=1 and p:ats margin>=0 and series game>1
To see the game listing for the above situation, paste the above SDQL text into the query box at:
killersports.com/mlb.py/query
and then click the SDQL! button.
To see it broken down by the number of the game in the series, use:
playoffs=1 and p:ats margin>=0 and series game>1 and series game
To see it broken down by the round number, use:
playoffs=1 and p:ats margin>=0 and series game>1 and round
To see it broken down by seed, use:
playoffs=1 and p:ats margin>=0 and series game>1 and seed
Note the strong correlation by seed number. It is significantly better to play against lower seeds that covered the previous game than it is to play against higher seeds in this spot. Makes sense to me!
