Once again I get screwed by a Toronto sports broadcaster/host. It appears Palmer was the last pitcher in the American league to throw 300 or more innings in a season, but Carlton is the last in the majors. Sorry about that.
Last night Sportsnet showed this table of the top 6 MLB playoff upsets based on regular season win differential. 3 of the top 6 spots are held by the last 3 Dodger teams. You can see the Blue Jay thread for my comments on Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
Playoff teams Year/ round Regular season win differential
White Sox over Cubs 1906 WS -23
Padres over Dodgers 2022 NLDS -22
Yankees over Mariners 2001 ALDS -21
Braves over Dodgers 2021 NLCS -18

4 times in MLB history 2 or more teammates have had multiple home runs in the same playoff game:
Players Year
Babe Ruth/ Lou Gehrig 1932
Fernando Tatis Jr./ Wil Meyers 2020
Chris Taylor/ AJ Pollock 2021
Nick Castellanos/ Bryce Harper 2023
It's amazing, 88 years seperated the first and second time it happened, but it's happened 3 of the last 4 years.
