Well, probably. You have the 11th largest media market (Detroit) going against the 21st (St. Louis), so the Fox folks can't be thrilled.

The only hope is for a series that goes six or seven games because Fox can charge more for commercials. A look at recent World Series matchups and ratings after the jump.
