1) There is no such thing as a curse.
2) This World Series is not over.
3) One and a half postseasons is not even an inadequate sample size. It's flat out irrelevent.
4) The last LCS to be swept was the 1995 NLCS, in which the sweepers - the Braves - went on to win the World Series.
5) All together, there have been 12 LCS sweeps. Of those, 6 of the "sweepers" went on to win the World Series. (In 1969 and 1970, all the LCS's were sweeps. Since obviously this will result in one team winning the World Series and one team losing, I've kept those out of the data) What this tells me is that the result of your LCS - sweep or not - has zero effect on your chances of winning the World Series
