Statistics do help sometimes but I love when teams in different sports beat them. I wish the best for the Blue Jays. It was my first pick in the MLB pool!
Agreed. Stats are fun and are great for discussions but don't always tell the whole story. The games are played on the field.

In La Liga, Microsoft has added info about the chances of a player to score when they have the ball. Interestingly, it gives 5-10% chances of scoring every time they score a goal. So it is a bit useless as it does not give good info.
Perhaps , statistics over a long period of time might give better info and more reliable. In the last 15 years, they have become an important input of info for scouting and sports managers to take decisions about signing players.

Apple TV has added reach base probabilities to their MLB broadcast and it changes as an at bat goes so a batter might have a 30% chance of reaching base when he comes up but if the pitcher gets two strikes that might go down to 15% and conversely if there is 2 or 3 balls it might go up to 40%. It's kind of neat to see while the game is going on.
2-0 Chelsea.
