The 2022 ALDS G1 Paradigm: Trailing 7-5 with two outs and two on in the 9th, Astros win probability was stalled at 9.1% (Mariners 90.9%). Seattle manager Scott Servais brought in Cy Young starter Robbie Ray to neutralize Alvarez (lefty-on-lefty). One 91.7 mph sinker later, Yordan produced a +90.9% Championship WPA swing — the biggest walk-off turnaround in postseason history.
