Is a sweep coming?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers swept the World Series. The way things are looking, it could sure happen. I was curious as to how many times the World Series has been won with a sweep. The last time it happened was in 2012.

Here are all the times in World Series history a team has swept the World Series 4-0:

2012: Giants over Tigers
2007: Red Sox over Rockies
2005: White Sox over Astros
2004: Red Sox over Cardinals
1999: Yankees over Braves
1998: Yankees over Padres
1990: Reds over Athletics
1989: Athletics over Giants
1976: Reds over Yankees
1966: Orioles over Dodgers
1963: Dodgers over Yankees
1954: Giants over Indians
1950: Yankees over Phillies
1939: Yankees over Reds
1938: Yankees over Cubs
1932: Yankees over Cubs
1928: Yankees over Cardinals
1922: Giants over Yankees (4-0-1)
1927: Yankees over Pirates
1914: Braves over Athletics
1907: Cubs over Tigers (4-0-1)

It's interesting to me that the St Louis Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 and 2011, and the next year following both those Championships, the World Series was won with a sweep (2007 and 2012).
