The Tigers steam rolled the Yankees, sweeping them in four games during the ALCS to get into the world series. Whereas the Giants seem to create luck, coming back from a 3 wins to 1 loss deficit to beat the Reds 4 games to 3 in the best of seven.
Many believed the additional time off, would give Tigers rest and enable them to set their rotation to ensure its better pitchers, Justin Verlander and Doug Fister for games 1 and 2. However some in the baseball world wondered whether the Tigers would come into the World Series, potentially losing their edge given the extended time off, putting them at a disadvantage.
Sabermeticians argue that the number of days off have no impact on the performance of a team during the World Series. However, the data is starting to demonstrate otherwise. On offense the Tigers looked terrible, getting shutout twice, trailed the giants in 56 straight innings, and as a team batted an abysmal .159, the third worst team batting average in World Series History.

Since 1969, there have been four world series featuring a match between a team who swept their opponent in the League Championship Series competing against a team which went all seven in the League Championship Series to get into the World Series.
Year AL Team NL Team
1988 Oakland A's (swept Red Sox) Los Angeles Dodgers (beat Mets in 7)
2006 Detroit Tigers (swept A's) St. Louis Cardinals (beat Mets in 7)
2007 Boston Red Sox (beat Yankees in 7) Colorado Rockies (swept Diamondbacks)
2012 Detroit Tigers (swept Yankees) San Francisco Giants (beat Reds in 7)
All four teams who swept their opponents in the LCS, lost the World Series.
- Dodgers beat A's in 1988
- Cardinals beat Tigers in 2006
- Red Sox beat Rockies in 2007
- Giants beat Tigers in 2012
It may be wise to lose game 4, when you are up on your opponent three games to none in the LCS. Of course, two of the teams were the Tigers. Maybe, the Tigers should be the first to try it out to see if it alters their World Series fortune.
