Matchups

I have been a little confused by the back and forth editing that has been going on. It seem obvious that when the score is listed in the matchup tables, it should be in the format of "Winner, Loser". there has been a constant change to put the home team second, even when they win. this would be correct before the game, in the format of "Away @ Home". however, once the game is completed I think it should be changed to Winner, Loser. I have not been able to find anything in Wikipedia to contradict this, and I would like a discussion to be started to resolve the issue. I have found an example of a case of an official mlb.com box score that lists the winning team first, even though its the home team. This is obviously only one example but I think it's safe to assume that Major League Baseball would be consistent in their publications. I am posting this message on the talk pages of all the 2016 post season pages. Jdavi333 (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
