Thinking about trying it The last few years I was playing 5 inning only, but this year I got off to a really rough start. What pissed me off was a high percentage of my 5 inning losers were winning in 9 innings. DAMN. So, I started going with one 5 & 9 play per day and more 9 inning plays. That worked very well as the units and ROR indicate. But, time marches on and I noticed my 9 inning winners were also winning in 5, so I started to play them both. The basis of 5 inning play is that you match up offenses and starters only, you never worry about bullpens, managers or pinch hitters, but if you do that accurately you probably have a lead heading into the final 4 innings and not many games reverse direction after that. Given a 6 or 7 inning winning performance and a lead at 5 by my chosen starter, and a 5 inning losing performance by the other guy, I will take any bullpen versus any other bullpen and any manager against any other. Last night I won with the Angels in 5 and lost in 9, but so what? I still netted a profit on that game and those reversals happen less often than people think. This year over 60% of the scoring in a regulation 9 inning game happens in the first 5 innings, and that usually results in the win or loss.

Even Covers staff encourages members to play the proven winners, without regard for the fact that they have priced themselves out of the market and can't carry the load anymore.

Millwood has pitched well against the Yanks, Seattle has played well lately and much better Away, and CC has given up 9 runs in his last 13IP.
BOL on your plays today Key!! |

Actually they just had a front page article on how the big underdogs are really profitable this time of year.

What's your justification for SEA tonight? GL How about 6 X the profit potential per dollar in what reality caps as a near even game? The -255 is public perception, that's all.

Wow, I pay so little attention to the front page I must have missed it. Did they change staff writers or something?
