Home-field advantage in a postseason series can be overrated. If anything, I’ve always thought it’s better to have the three games in the middle at home because of the often-pivotal nature of Game 5 in a seven-game series.

It’s difficult to understate how crucial it is to have a 3-2 lead in a seven-game series. According to whowins.com, teams heading home for Games 6 and 7 with a 3-2 lead end up winning the series 73.7 percent (28-10) of the time.
