Because Game 3 is the real pivot point of the series. Statistically, teams that win Game 3 after splitting the first two games take the trophy 70% of the time.

Location changes everything. The pitcher’s mound, the outfield wall, even the angle of the setting sun—it all messes with muscle memory. That’s why you hear announcers say, “They need to protect this home turf.” They’re not being dramatic; they’re being math nerds.

The algorithm will hand you the answer in 0.4 seconds, faster than Dave’s nachos got cold.

But if you’re feeling old-school, flip to Section 8 of your TV guide. Yes, those still exist. They’re printed on recycled paper and smell like regret.
