I have next to no expertise in statistics, but the following is a fact.

Lets say the Reds have a 45 percent chance on a given night to beat the Phils.

If that is a given, if the Reds and Phils played 100 5-game series and 100 7-game series, the Reds would win more of the 5 game series than they would win 7-game series.

Just remember that when shaping your opinions.
