No lead is safe against the Milwaukee Brewers this postseason. For the second time in three games, they overcame an early 4-0 deficit to win Game 2 of the World Series, 5-4.

This is a big win for the Brewers. MLB's Sarah Langs provides the historical context for teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven postseason series. Teams that win the first two games win the series 83% of the time (80 of 96). In the context of winning at home in a 2-3-2 format, they win 81% of the time (47 of 58). So history overwhelmingly favors the Brewers in this series now.
