CubsPS+ #91: Fact or Fiction - How to Win in the MLB Postseason
Episode 91 - Fact or Fiction: How to Win in the Postseason
In this episode, I take a deep dive into the world of Major League Baseball, examining how teams approach postseason success and the key factors that lead to winning championships. We explore the delicate balance between parity, spending, and star power in MLB, comparing it to other major sports like the NBA, NFL, and NHL.
Key Discussion Points:Fact or Fiction: How Playoff Success Really Works: A breakdown of common myths and truths about the postseason, including the idea that spending big guarantees wins.
MLB’s Economic Structure & Competitive Balance: Does baseball’s current economic model create haves and have-nots, or does it actually support more parity than other leagues?
Star Power vs. Depth: Can teams rely on superstar players to carry them, or is building a well-rounded, deep roster the real key to success?
Lessons from Recent Postseasons: Insights from the last 15 years of MLB playoffs, looking at how teams win, who makes the deep runs, and why mid-80s win teams often fall short.
Comparing Parity Across Sports: How does MLB stack up against other major sports leagues in terms of competitive balance and opportunities for underdog teams?
Join me as I break down the trends, analyze strategies, and look at what it truly takes for a team to go from making the playoffs to hoisting the championship trophy.
