This is a bit dated, but....
"The
baseball playoffs are the most challenging to make among the four major pro sports, simply because the fewest number of teams get in—only 10 in total. Hence, there were 70 postseason series and two wild-card games from 2003 through 2012.
Amazingly, the team with home-field advantage won only 37 of those matchups, which translates to
51 percent overall. Basically, home field holds no advantage in baseball."
......but yah to happen in 6, maybe all 7 games pretty odd/flukey.
edit to add:
Football postseason (not counting neutral site SB) is
59% Home Team wins
Hockey postseason
59%
Basketball posteason
67%
