With the Dodgers forcing a Game 7, we now have 7 series that have gone the full distance this postseason
That’s two more than in any other single postseason
(And yes, there are more series these days, but 7 has been possible since ‘95 and in ‘81)

I’d be feeling sick right now if I’m the Blue Jays or a Toronto fan with how that bottom of the 9th played out. But Game 7s are awesome and it’s fun that’s how the World Series will be decided
