Yes... obviously. But first, the comment I was responding to was about the first game in a seven game series. Second, the question isn't whether you're going to win more than 65% of the time by winning the first game of the series, but whether winning the first game gives you a better chance of winning the series than you would have if the results of games were completely random. If the answer is "no", as that article establishes was the case for the 7 game series he reviewed, then there is nothing special about winning the first game, as opposed to any other game.
