Best World Series Champs: Round 3-G

[Knick9]

This is section G. We have the 1970 Baltimore Orioles and the 1976 Cincinnati Reds doing battle. This is a pretty interesting matchup. That's what I got when tallying up the votes.

#7 1970 Baltimore Orioles - 25 votes
#10 1976 Cincinnati Reds - 23 votes

If this was a 7-game series:

Game 1: @ 1970 Memorial Stadium

Game 2: @ 1970 Memorial Stadium

Game 3: @ 1976 Riverfront Stadium

Game 4: @ 1976 Riverfront Stadium

Game 5: @ 1976 Riverfront Stadium (if needed)

Game 6: @ 1970 Memorial Stadium (if needed)

Game 7: @ 1970 Memorial Stadium (if needed)

Going with the '70 O's in 7.

Like the O's pitching in this matchup.

This is a tough one. I went with the '76 Reds, but could very easily have gone the other way.

Purely biasless, I ran it on WIS, like I always do. The Reds somehow eked out victories in games 3, 5, 6, and 7, despite being shut out in 1 and 4, and losing 13-1 in 2. They never scored more than five runs in a game (5-2 win in game 6 being the only one), and never won by more than three. Nevertheless, they won.
