You are making claims that are beyond standard, known factors that would drive down offense in the post-season (colder weather, more innings pitched by better pitchers), thus the burden of proof is on you. Let's see the numbers on how much less offense there is in the post-season. Let's review the average temperature drop from June-August vs. October.
You're asking for opinions, and it seems that most of the opinions expressed so far are that there's nothing going on in the post-season that requires an explanation of doctored/different baseballs.

No Thanks! Ill just keep investing year after year on the unders and padding my bankroll. No need to debate something that is working for whatever reason. Staying off this Texas/Toronto game. Should be high scoring.
