Using data from Retrosheet, I found that there have been 231 doubleheaders from 2008 to 2017. How many were sweeps? 120. That’s approximately 51.9 percent of all doubleheaders. This amazes me because the figure regresses so well to the theoretical probability. It’s like flipping a coin; the more you do, the more likely you will see your heads and tails figures move towards 50 percent.
