What are the odds on 2 different teams coming back from being down 3-0...CONSECUTIVELY in the same post season?

All things being equal, the odds are 1 in 16. There are four games the Cards have to win, each game's odds are 50%, or 1 in 2. Multiply them all, and you get 1 in 16.

That's IF "all things are equal", which they aren't... ain't gonna happen... :-)

The question was, what are the odds on two teams doing it. All else being equal then, the odds are 1:16 * 1:16, or 1:256.

Wait; it's even worse. For two teams to go 0 and 3 and then win, first you have to lose the first 3, and then win the next 3. There's only one possible combination of that in 7 games, so the odds on it happening ONCE (on pure random statistics, not taking into account pitching, hitting, defense, eclipses, etc.) is 2⁷. The odds on it happening in consecutive series is 2⁷ * 2⁷ = 2¹⁴, or 1 in 16384.
