the Win % is still pretty much even across the games.. so This stats is pretty much useless, 2 more teams won their series when they happen to win Game 2 last year.. yay... 2 of 16 teams...

I only went back to 1999...for every year but 2001 it has held true...it's a pivotal game...67 of 105 vs. 79 of 105...just for the last 7 years...do the stats for enough years and it is significant.
