I don't know the answer but it HAS to be in the running.
Thanks! So my belief is confirmed in linked article,These stats show rarity of Rangers-Diamondbacks matchup in 2023 World Series
Not many saw a Texas Rangers-Arizona Diamondbacks matchup in the 2023 World Series. Check out these numbers that explain their respective turnarounds.www.nbcdfw.com
What are the 2nd, 3rd, 4th lowest?Thanks! So my belief is confirmed in linked article,
Combined regular-season wins
Building off the above, the Rangers' 90-72 record and the Diamondbacks' 84-78 mark equals a combined 174 regular season wins.
Not counting shortened seasons, that's the fewest combined regular season wins in a World Series matchup. You wouldn't think that's the case given how quality each team has proven to be, yet here they are. It's also another indicator that sometimes teams are just built for postseason success rather than judging them by their sheer regular-season record.
Who?Only reason this is possible is because of the wild cards. Previous to wild card format no way this would ever happen, even in 154 game schedule prior to 1961.
Very surprised there’s even one close as KVB shows above in 1973
