At its most basic level, the World Series lasts for a maximum of seven games. Think of it like a best-of-seven wrestling match, but with fewer body slams and more sunflower seeds.
The first team to win four games takes home the trophy. If one team is absolutely dominant, they can sweep it in just four games, and you’ll be done in under a week. That’s the quickest, most efficient way to end baseball’s biggest show.
