The World Series is finally set. After dispatching the New York Mets in a seven-game NLCS, the Cardinals flew to Detroit for a date with a well-rested Tigers squad. Prognosticators are picking the Tigers to pluck the Cardinals in short order, but remember the Mets were also favored to beat the boys from St. Louis.

We were curious who'd win when we matched the teams up in Buzz. Turns out the Tigers are also favored by searchers, but we went deeper into the data to uncover some interesting match-ups between baseball's final two teams...
