don't listen to steve phillips as you are falling asleep

I made that mistake last night. Litterally, as i was turning the TV off, they were playing "fact or fiction"

question: Neither team will score five or more runs in any game this series.

Phillips: Fact. The pitching is just too good. Runs will be very very hard to come by.

me: isn't the average runs per game around 4.5? So, with 2 games in the DH'd AL, and 2 games at minute maid park, that's 8 offensive games (at a minimum). What are the chances that all 8 of those perform under average? I will guarantee that one team scores 5 or more runs. Unless they play super small ball. which leads to question #2

question: There will be more sacrafice bunts than home runs.

me: i don't know the numbers of sac bunts. I imagine it's pretty high in NL games. So, i could alsmost see this going as a fact.

phillips: Oh, that's DEFINITELY a fact. In fact, i would bet that there will be more squeeze bunts than home runs.

me again: that's just shocking. How many times is a squeeze even possible? Phillips is out of control.

i haven't been watching the game too much, but it looks like the whitesox have 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th (and two home runs to boot).

In two games so far, a team has scored 5 or more runs THREE times.
