Game 1 of the World Series lasted 3 hours, 52 minutes, featured 12 pitchers and 24 position players, totaled 308 pitches and included more strikeouts (24) than hits (19). It was a perfectly Instagrammable snapshot of Major League Baseball in 2018. The fact that the Boston Red Sox won it happened to dovetail nicely with that theme, too, because nobody has won more than the Red Sox in 2018.
