Momentum is this inning’s reliever

By Tangotiger

Great stuff by Ben Blatt.

All games between 1980 and 2010 in which the game was tied in the ninth inning, a total of over 2300 games, were included in the data set.
- When the home team blew the lead in the ninth, it won in extra innings 53.1% of the time.
- When the home team came back in the ninth, it won in extra innings 53.8% of the time.
