In the meantime, just so you know, the 38th Game 7 in World Series history starts tonight at 5 PM PT from Progressive Field in Cleveland. We’ll update with more World Series ratings later, as well as what else was on TV last night. Right now, Fox is looking to easily win last night and to have its best Tuesday primetime since March 2010. To give some perspective, that’s the best any World Series has done in its first five games since 2004 when the Boston Red Sox rolled over the St. So far, not including last night’s Game 6, the 2016 World Series is averaging 19.3 million viewers. That last Game 6 was on Octowhen the Royals crushed the San Francisco Giants 10-0 to force a Game 7 in the low-rated face-off. However, last night’s MM ratings are a whopping 66% better than the last World Series Game 6. There was, of course, no Game 6 for the 2015 World Series as the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Mets in Game 5 last year for the big win. That Game 6 with two of the biggest teams in MLB drew a 15.5/25 in metered market numbers. That’s the best a World Series Game 6 has done since 2009 when the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies on November 4 that year to clinch the title. The Cubs’ win over Cleveland scored a 14.8/24 in metered market ratings. With the Chicago Cubs’ comeback to win Game 6 9-3 over the so-close-they-could-taste-it Cleveland Indians last night and tie the 2016 match-up 3-3, the network has been the beneficiary of some of the best baseball ratings in years.
