Mathematical probability, in a perfectly equitable distribution of championships, means each MLB team would win a World Series once every 30 years. That is not the world we live in, of course, so many franchises have experienced long title droughts that have stretched into multiple decades. There is even one that has never appeared in the Fall Classic.
With just two weeks to go in the 2025 MLB season, the Miami Marlins can still do it all. Savor that fact for a moment, Marlins fans. It's mid-September, possibly late September by the time you are reading this, and your favorite baseball team hasn't been eliminated from anything. They can still have a winning season. They can still make the playoffs! That's certainly a far cry from what most fans predicted coming into this 2025 season, myself included. What a time to be alive! The rebuild is well underway, and ahead of schedule.
