With eight teams left, I can see eight different teams emerging as a champion. And that\u2019s because, I\u2019ve seen teams like each of these teams do it before.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve looked through history for teams that entered the postseason with similar statistics to this year\u2019s eight remaining playoff entrants. I\u2019ve looked at every World Series winner since divisions were instituted in 1969 and gauged how well they did compared to the league average that season in runs scored, runs allowed, home runs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, ERA, strikeout rate and walk rate. I also looked at their record in September to see whether momentum can play a role.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a historical comp for all eight teams left \u2014 a team that resembled it on paper at the start of October and ended the month holding the World Series trophy.<\/p>\n
Anything can happen, because most everything already has.<\/p>\n

The Mariners had three other guys hit at least 25 for them, and that doesn\u2019t count Eugenio Su\u00e1rez and the 49 he hit between Arizona and Seattle. This is a team that lives on the home run.<\/p>\n While the Mariners\u2019 overall pitching stats compare favorably here, those Yankees did have one weapon Seattle likely lacks: fireman Mariano Rivera. As dominant as Rivera was throughout his postseason career, you can make a strong case he was never more valuable than in this postseason, when he was recoding six outs every night ahead of John Wetteland.<\/p>\n New York Yankees<\/p>\n Historical Comp: 2009 New York Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n Team<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n W<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n L<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RD<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RS+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RA+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n OBP+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n SLG+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n HR+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ERA+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n K%+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n BB%+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/tr>\n 94<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 68<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 164<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 118<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 105<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 104<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 112<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 145<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 103<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 107<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 90<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 103<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 59<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 162<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 123<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 99<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 109<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 114<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 145<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 108<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 112<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 97<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Despite losing nine more games during the regular season, this year\u2019s Yankees actually produced a better run differential than their last championship team.

St. Louis\u2019 12-17 record from September 1 on is the worst-ever for a World Series winner; Detroit just went 7-17 this past month. In each case, that poor finish obscures an otherwise strong season. St. Louis was once 16 over .500, Detroit as many as 25 over.<\/p>\n As that suggests, the Tigers are better statistically all around.

While the \u201902 Angels lacked home-field advantage throughout the postseason \u2014 they didn\u2019t even win their division \u2014 they actually align really closely with these Brewers, right down to the sweet-swinging lefty with 29 home runs (Garrett Anderson and Christian Yelich).<\/p>\n Neither team boasts much offensive star power: Anderson was the Angels\u2019 only All-Star that season, and the Brewers didn\u2019t have any position players make the Midsummer Classic. But they made up for it with depth. Anaheim\u2019s lineup had seven above-average hitters in it each night while Milwaukee\u2019s has eight.<\/p>\n Freddy Peralta might well finish fourth in the Cy Young like Jarrod Washburn did, and Brandon Woodruff is the big veteran right-hander like Kevin Appier. And let me think, is there some hard-throwing rookie right-hander the Brewers have that could imitate Francisco Rodriguez if he came out of the pen?<\/p>\n One potential difference?

Unfortunately for Philadelphia, the very top of its rotation took a hit when Zack Wheeler was lost for the season; Ranger Su\u00e1rez will now try to team with Cristopher S\u00e1nchez to imitate Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling. (That Su\u00e1rez, S\u00e1nchez and Jes\u00fas Luzardo are all lefties in the Year of the Lefty probably doesn\u2019t hurt.) Kyle Schwarber can do his best Luis Gonz\u00e1lez, and the rest of the Phillies lineup is a touch stronger than Arizona\u2019s.<\/p>\n Want to understand how strikeout rates have jumped, by the way? Those Diamondbacks struck out 21.3 percent of opposing hitters \u2014 well above the league average of 17.3 percent.

When confronted with such uncreative ideas, always go for the one that lets you talk about John Olerud.<\/p>\n Once again, the similarities between LA and that Toronto team start with the star power in the lineup. The Jays had the top three finishers in the AL batting race that year (Olerud, Paul Molitor and Roberto Alomar) while the Dodgers have Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and this year Will Smith anchoring the offense. (A former MVP having a down offensive season in the top of the order furthers the comparison: Mookie Betts is like Rickey Henderson, if Henderson\u2026checks notes\u2026was a Gold Glove caliber shortstop that season.)<\/p>\n Where Los Angeles really stands out here is with its power. The Jays hit just about a home run per game, which was above the league average in 1993. The Dodgers hit a homer and a half per game and led the National League. Rumor has it Toronto did hit an important home run somewhere that postseason.<\/p>\n Oh yeah, and the back-to-back thing, that works, too.<\/p>\n Chicago Cubs<\/p>\n Historical Comp: 1973 Oakland Athletics<\/strong><\/p>\n Team<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n W<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n L<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RD<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RS+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n RA+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n OBP+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n SLG+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n HR+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ERA+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n K%+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n BB%+<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/tr>\n 92<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 70<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 144<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 110<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 110<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 101<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 105<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 115<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 110<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 96<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 118<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 94<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 68<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 143<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 111<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 110<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 102<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 103<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 113<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 109<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 96<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 107<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Yes, let\u2019s go way back for two teams that are neck and neck in everything but walk rate.<\/p>\n The second of three straight World Series winners in Oakland, the \u201973 team possessed a hellacious middle of the order \u2014 Reggie Jackson in his prime won his lone MVP while Sal Bando and Gene Tenace also had huge years \u2014 and three 20-game winners in the rotation.
