Some people have that talent. Odds are this person is just a representative for a group and they may be using computers to determine the bets.

I wish I could statistically analyze sports games like some can.

Assuming that he's making a straight bet on the outcome (6-7, 5 1/2 - 6 1/2), one win is easy, six is quite difficult even with a computer because there are so many variables and at that level the teams are pretty easily matched. The worst baseball team will still win 30% of games, and the best ones rarely more than 70%. When the best is playing the best, and there's no crazy mismatch of starting pitchers, it is usually more like 55-45. The Dodgers have the 55, but only because of starting pitching.
