Kind of a neat question

Suppose two teams are playing a best of 7 series. The two teams are evenly matched, and there is no home field advantage. Assuming team 'A' wins game 1, which team has the better chance of winning the series in exactly seven games?

Well since the obvious answer to even a kid in first grade would be team A, then it must have a trick answer. - LOL

Team A must win 3 out of 6 remaining games to win the series in exactly seven games, while team B must win 4 out of 6 remaining games to win the series in exactly seven games.

Of course the "trick part" of the answer is if the series does go to seven games, that each team would have had to of won 3 games each, therefore neither team has the advantage after the 6th game.

But since the "trick part" was too easy, then there must be another "trick part" - LOL

LOL!- No, that's the only trick. You figured it out faster than I did

I don't always figure out these brain teasers. I'm still trying to solve the age old question of who's buried in Grant's tomb?

Here's a quick one but it must be answered correctly in 30 seconds or less. How many baseball team names have 4 letters, for example the "Mets"? ...thirty seconds or less...Go! (answer below)
