To be fair, those are two of the top 3 MLB franchises in the entire league. I think the only other club that could've gotten better ratings were Cubs vs Dodgers/Yankees depending on the conferences. NHL would have massive ratings if the finals were ever Blackhawks vs Rangers.world series ratings were great. baseball shouldn't get a salary cap at all.
Yup sadly the great SportsTVRatings guy on Twitter retired so it's a bit harder to get some sports ratings but CFB is easy to find at least the big games. Will update when more numbers pop up.@Kirk Van Houten any CFB numbers come out yet?
How does SportsTVRatings guy even have access to the ratings? Aren't these fairly confidential info unless the companies decide to release them for PR purposes.Yup sadly the great SportsTVRatings guy on Twitter retired so it's a bit harder to get some sports ratings but CFB is easy to find at least the big games.

He usually said per sources but the day he just closed the account he said there's was a mistake about some numbers so source issues and then he wouldn't be doing the ratings anymore can't put the tweet since well he closed the account.How does SportsTVRatings guy even have access to the ratings?

No we’re near as bad as nhl declines. The nhl I don’t think has even gotten 1.0 ratingCurry's national TV season debut gives slumping NBA a boost
One of the simplest cures for the NBA's early season ratings slump may be just having Stephen Curry in the lineup.www.sportsmediawatch.com
We talked a lot about the NHL declines to start the season well...
Wednesday’s Warriors-Celtics NBA regular season game averaged a 1.2 rating and 2.14 million viewers on ESPN, marking the most-watched NBA game in the two weeks since Opening Night and an increase of 30% from Spurs-Knicks in the same window last year (1.65M). It is no secret that the NBA is off to a slow start this season. The ESPN average of 1.21 million in the first two weeks marked a 34% decline from the comparable point last year (1.84M). TNT games are down a narrower 14% over the first two weeks (from 2.1 to 1.8 million), but that is with a smaller sample size of six games — of which Opening Night, which posted a modest increase over last year, constitutes a third.
Not counting NBA TV, Warriors-Celtics marked Curry’s first nationally televised game of the season, as he missed Golden State’s matchup with New Orleans on TNT the prior week. The Warriors, who missed the playoffs last season, were left off of the NBA’s opening week schedule. Wednesday’s Sixers-Clippers nightcap, pitting possibly the two teams most associated with “load management,” averaged 1.19 million viewers, down 36% from last year’s comparable Warriors-Nuggets game (1.85M). That dragged the overall average for Wednesday’s doubleheader to 1.66 million, down 5% from 1.75 million on the same night last year.
Sure but the NBA is also in declineNo we’re near as bad as nhl declines. The nhl I don’t think has even gotten 1.0 rating
