If that number finalizes, that will be the highest rated baseball game since 1991! That game 7(Twins/Braves instant classic) got a 32.2. Since then- highest game was a 24.5 for game 7 of the Cleveland/Florida 1997 that got a 23.5. And very possibly most watched baseball game since 1991 as well.

That’s the highest overnight rating for a World Series Game 7 since the 27.0 for Yankees-Diamondbacks game 7 in 2001 and up 66% versus Game 7 of 2014’s Giants-Royals.

yep. They're speculating the number may top the 40 million mark. It's going to be real close.

Precise viewership of Game 7 is 40.015 million.....best since 50.3 million for Game 7 of 1991 Twins-Braves World Series.

more fun:
For the year, the 25.2 is the fifth-highest for any television program, including the NFL — behind Super Bowl 50 (49.0), Patriots/Broncos AFC Championship Game (31.8), Cardinals/Panthers NFC Championship Game (26.8) and Steelers/Broncos in the Divisional Round (26.2). It topped every night of the Rio Summer Olympics and Game 7 of the NBA Finals (18.9).

also-
Excluding the NFL and the Olympics, the 25.2 is the highest for any sporting event since that 2001 Game 7. There are no college football, college basketball or NBA games on record — dating back to at least the late 1990s — with a higher number in the metered markets. For reference, the 2006 Texas/USC Rose Bowl had a 22.7 overnight and Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals had a 22.9.
