Biased, but I wouldn't bet against Skubal in Game 1

My recollection is that the SFG World Series winning teams between 2010-2014 had some of the lowest in-season Elo ratings to win a series, often with late season surges. Which makes me curious how this years Tigers would stack up against history if the make the playoffs after being 10 games back of the wild card at the start of August. Dyou have a historic ranking of teams that qualified for the playoffs and their lowest in-season elo for that year?

Have you considered doing historical charts/graphs over the years for the Sports ELO Ratings like FiveThirtyEight did? Just curious.

That would definitely be cool to recreate! I'd have to look into which charting service would make the best and most useful version of that, but it seems worth looking into...

I would love to see how historically bad the White Sox are
