If that's the case, then the odds of the visiting team of winning is 1 to 3.
It's a seven game series.
The team with less runs/points.
In the event of a Pitcher leaving a game in the 6th inning and the game is tied, the loss will be credited to the Pitcher that allowed the base runner on base that won the game for the opposing team.
100%, since they're already in it. I take that back. There could be a freak accident that kills the entire team on the way to Boston. Then they would not "go to" the world series. even though they have earned the right to be there. So, revised odds, 99.999%.
It depends on whether the odds are in favour or against. Generally, the odds refer to a wins versus b losses. That is a wins out of a total number of a+b outcomes and so a probability of winning = a/(a+b).

A sweep is when one team beats another team in every game of a series. You may see 2, 3, 4 game regular season sweeps depending on how many games are played in the series. A world series sweep would be four games won in a row by one team to start the series.
People do sports statistics every team that a game is played. Any time a game is played, there are statistics for each player on the team, and the game goes in to the team's record as a win or loss.
This is how the team stacks up in a conference. For example the leading team has 9 wins and 1 (900 average) and the next team has 8 wins and 1 loss (889 average) and is a half a game back from the leading team. A team can only move up or down (1) half game per win or loss. Since the second team has one less total games played, and if they win that game, they will move up a half a game and tie the leader. If that team losses, they fall back one game.
It has never happened in the history of the World Series.
