Very cool. Who says one game doesn’t matter. Eventual World Series winner wins the first game 65% or the time. 

I would imagine a typical winning percentage for an eventual World Series team is probably around 60%.

Lots of fun statistics on opening days in MLB. More about correlation than causation, but there's some fun stuff:

When teams won the first game of the season over the past decade, they’ve gone on to have a winning season about 60 percent of the time. When they lose the first game, that frequency drops below 40 percent.

Great data visualization, too.
