Alex Rodriguez hit .429 with a .567 OBP, 3 HR, 6 R and 6 RBI over the course of the six game ALCS series against the Angels. His WPA (win probability added) per game was, in order, +.027, +.124, +.061, +.171, +.005, and +.143. That is a weighted average of +.0885 per game (.531 cumulative WPA), meaning A-Rod, as 1/25th of the Yankee's squad, is giving his team just short of a 9% chance of winning each and every game in the ALCS.
Now, granted, C.C. Sabathia pitched two amazing games in which he had WPAs of .365 and .314 and I am not saying that he did not deserve the ALCS MVP award. However, it does go to prove a point that A-Rod's post-season production is undervalued.
