In the playoffs, how many teams have come back from down 3-1 do win the series?

Well.. I'n not sure, but 95% of the time, the 3-1 lead would result in a win. And i think it was 7...

It depends which World Series you are talking about. Also, you spelled "won" wrong. The Chicago White Sox in 2005, though and PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES IN 1980! BOO BRAVES! BRAVES ARE GOING DOWN THIS YEAR!

A rubbermatch is the deciding game in a three game series.\n\nSo each team has to win one game, whomever wins the rubbermatch wins the series.

In the simplest sense, the "best of five" series can be won in only three ways:  3 games straight, 3 games out of 4, or 3 games out of 5.  \n\nWithin those three ways, though, the order of wins and losses can vary considerably.  For example, WWW (win, win, win) is the only way for the 3 games straight, but the 3 games out of 4 can be LWWW (lose, win, win, win) or WLWW or WWLW.  The 3 games out of 5 can be WWLLW, WLWLW, LLWWW, WLLWW, LWLWW, or LWWLW.\n\nYou get the idea, I'm sure.

There are two confrences. East and West. There are 3 divisions in each conference. Eight teams from each conference advance to the playoffs.  The three teams that win there division get the top three seeds (1,2,&3 are based on who has the better record of the 3)the remaing 5 seeds are based on record within the 3 divisions within there respective conference.  Any tiebreakers that determine seeding or even qualifying for the playoffs are  determined by head to head matchups or conference records.

I'll quote Charles Barkley here:  "In a seven game series, the better team almost always wins."  \n\nIn a five game series, the weaker team can get a lucky streak going.  But the Suns coming back this post-season and the Spurs catching the Mavs is a clear indicator that the better team can come back in a seven game series.  But if either of these series had been 5 game series like the NBA USED to have, both would be gone.  \n\nIn a longer series, the better team usually wins.

You could use a bunch of different measuring sticks.  Last year's NL East had the top four teams finish within 7 games of each other, while the West had the last place team only 15 games behind the division winner, the same as the 1996 NL Central.  The 1995 NL West (only 4 teams) had an 11 game gap between first and last, but that season was strike-shortened, as was 1994 when the 4 teams in the AL West were within 5 1/2 games of each other.  The 2004 AL West had the top three teams within 3 games of each other.\n\nIf we're only going to go back to the 3-division format in each league, those have been the closest races.

So it's 5-3 for every 8 games. So that's 4 times 8 games.\nSo that should make a total of 5x4 win against 3x4 losses, or a 20-12 record.

First click on "Sports", then go to the "MLB Home", then click "Standings".\n\nThere are 6 divisions, so you will see who is leading each division.  The playoffs start in October and all division winners advance PLUS 1 "wildcard" team from each league(American and National)...for a total of 8 teams in the playoffs.  The winners of each playoff series(best of 5 in first round, best of 7 in the Championship Series and World Series) advance to face each other until they reach the World Series.  The team that wins the World Series is the team that, as you say, would finish first.  \n\nChicago won it all last year, but this season we are in now is a brand new season, so actually the Chicago White Sox would be classified as the defending champions.

Well, I agree with the playoff teams, but I don't see either of those teams in the "World" Series. It's a rematch of the 1968 "World" Series. St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers.
