Just doing a little research, probably worthless, but I'll post it here:

2010 Playoffs - 8 out of 29 games decided by less than 2 runs (28%)
2009 Playoffs - 10 out of 30 games decided by less than 2 runs (33%)
2008 Playoffs - 8 out of 32 games decided by less than 2 runs (25%)
2007 Playoffs - 4 out of 28 games decided by less than 2 runs (14%)
2006 Playoffs - 4 out of 30 games decided by less than 2 runs (13%)

So, don't assume it's the playoffs and every game will end up a close one.

Nope - it was hit or miss all over the place. Here are the results from last year's first round:

Away Team Dog Won By 2+
Away Team Favorite Won By 2+
Home Team Favorite Won By 2+

On average 28% of MLB games end as one run games & it looks like that's about what the playoffs have provided the past 3 years. Probably could get a little better pay out on RL's during the playoffs though.
