Justin Verlander has thoughts
Well, that and the Tigers' pitching staff's inability to throw accurately to third base.

He's not entirely wrong, especially in the case of the series with the Cardinals. But your point has a lot of validity as well.

Re: Justin Verlander has thoughts
I do think momentum plays a role. The last two series, the Bruins have played against teams that are coming off sweeps in the previous round. Columbus looked flat in Game 1 of the ECSF, and Carolina has obviously been dreadful in the first two games of the ECF.
The tradeoff was the Bruins looked really tired in Games 2 and 3 of the Columbus series.

In the NHL, assuming time to heal isn’t an issue, I think winning in 6 games is ideal. It usually gives a team 3-4 days off to rest, but not so much time they get flat. It’s even better if your opponent goes 7 games and plays 6 OTs in game 7
