Historically? I'm not at all sure, although my guess is that someone from SABR has looked at it.
In 14 doubleheaders this season, there have been six sweeps to go with eight splits, and the Yankees could be the seventh to pull the trick tonight:

Here are the odds, assuming that the chances of winning a single game is 50. The teams will be called A and B:
A wins both: 25%
Both teams win a game: 50%
B wins both: 25%
This ignores momentum from the first game, home field advantage, etc. In terms of probability, the result of the first game has no impact on the second. However, there are so many other factors in a real double-header that the percents won't work out so well.

a million- State your crew and list- Lakers (40 2-10) #2- what's a good difficulty they did the first 1/2- performed protection all excellent in the first 7 video games. #3. What can they strengthen on for the 2d 1/2- Play protection something else of how #4- Which participant has been the biggest and maximum consistent- Kobe and Pau. #5- Which participant is serious on your crew fulfillment in the 2d 1/2- Lamar Odom , Bynum is gonna be out. Odom needs to step up as he did the previous couple weeks. the merciless loss area the most heartbreaking one changed into the Troy Murphy tip in, I advise, yeah the Bobcats loss changed into undesirable, yet you ought to already tell Lakers were gonna lose in view that Kobe had fouled out, yet the following, we are up one.. first guy misses the shot!! We win, and then BAM! a tip in. That in basic terms hurts.

Say the Tigers lose both games of the Double Header to the Yankees today and the White Sox Beat the Devil Rays..
the White Sox will gain 1 game for the First Tiger Loss and a 1/2 game for the second tiger loss
but if tigers lose both and White sox lose to Devil rays then White sox lose 1/2 game in standings.

about 85% of doubleheaders are split
leaving the 15% as sweeps

It's funny that you would ask this question because it was mentioned by Jerry Remy (NESN broadcaster for RSox) while he interviewed Donald Trump during the Yanks/Sox double-header last Friday. Remy said that historically teams split double-headers over 80% of the time. He also said that there was no chance for your team to sweep if you don't win the first game. LOL

I don't know percentages, but it usually seems like teams tend to split these things.
Or at least it seemed that way until the Yanks swept that day-nighter from the Dead Sox a couple of weeks ago.
And we're going to snatch another day/nighter tonight against El Tigres.

If one team wins the game then its a regular game win. If they lose the 2nd game then its a regular game loss. And it works vice-versa for the other team.
