Why Extra-Inning Double Plays Are Monumental

Under MLB's extra-inning Manfred runner format (runner automatically placed at second base with zero outs), the home team possesses an innate ~52% to 54% baseline win expectancy in tied games because a single outfield hit can produce a walk-off run.

  • Run Expectancy Eradication: An extra-inning frame with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs has a historical MLB run expectancy of ~1.14 runs. Executing a double play reduces expected runs to less than 0.18.
  • St. Louis Cardinals Defensive Execution: The 6-4-3 double play executed in the bottom of the 10th extinguished San Francisco's scoring threat, sending the contest tied into the 11th inning.
