Statistics such as "7th game postseason wins" are almost meaningless in Major League Baseball. For most of the post-1900 era of modern baseball the World Series was the ONLY postseason that existed. One series -- that's it.

The era of divisional play began in 1969, and the MLB postseason has been extended repeatedly since then. Today, a team that qualifies for the postseason as a wild card entrant and goes all the way to a Game 7 in the World Series can play a total of 20 games in a single postseason.

This is why almost every postseason record in MLB has been established in the last 15-20 years.
