MEMORIAL DAY:
HOT STREAK WARNING! ![]()
MISIOROWSKI, Brewers
This STARTER is riding a tenuous 10-game HOT STREAK, ![]()
WITHOUT a BAD outing in that streak .....YET!
...but this should be anticipated to end at anytime!!!
Make no mistake, this dude and others I will identify in the future are GOOD starters - some of them exceptional! HOWEVER, probability says "consecutive streaks won't last long" especially AFTER 7 straight w/o a "bad outing"....All GOOD pitchers will, from time to time, have an "off" day and get roughed up - sometimes mauled - before they resume their stellar pitching performances again. CAN NOT be avoided.
Best to avoid!
CAVEAT: even if the starter has a "bad outing" doesn't mean his team will lose! It just seriously weakens their chances! But his team's bats could come thru with a lot of runs to save the day.....maybe! You decide.

Worthy of note, the starter is NOT the whole team!
Despite no bad outings in 10 starts by Misiorowski,
the Brewers as a team only won 5 of his starts!
So even if he has yet another GOOD outing, 50/50 chance?!?! ![]()

...and 3 of those 5 losses were AT HOME -
despite him pitching well in those losses!!!!!
vs .472 Toronto (10 - 16 road team)
vs .509 Pittsburgh (14 - 13 road team)
vs .596 Padres (15 - 8 road team)
Today they face .569 St.Louis (16 - 9 road team)
No doubt he *WILL* pitch well again today, but the point is, even if he does as expected, that does *NOT* translate into a high % chance of Brewers winning the game!
5 wins and 5 losses in Misiorowski's 10 starts, pitching very well in all of them!

Yeah....hopefully.....but my TEXAS bet was made when the lineup card showed that JUNG was probable. He is their TOP BAT vs righties, and now I learn he is out.....which likely reduces RANGERS run production significantly - almost close to a run.... Yeesh. I dunno now....
Trying to decide what to do, as this doesn't look to be such a great play anymore...

In fact, upon further review, Astros have 4 bats in the lineup tonight hitting over .275 vs righties. Rangers have just 2. Game may be a one run win either way, not worthy of *BB status....

i still have the Rangers with about a +0.6 to +0.7 run edge (due to pitching) but it's not as good

On the one hand Washington scores more runs than any other team in MLB...

my TEXAS bet was made when the lineup card showed that JUNG was probable. He is their TOP BAT vs righties, and now I learn he is out.....which likely reduces RANGERS run production significantly - almost close to minus a run.... Yeesh. I dunno now.... Trying to decide what to do, as this doesn't look to be such a great play anymore...
....and sure enough TEXAS already trails in the first inning
And it looks like they are about to BOTCH a gift of 3 walks and leave the 1st inning still down 0 - 1
Had I known their TOP BATTER vs righties would be OUT tonight, I dunno this would even make a bet - and certainly NOT a *BestBet! ![]()
This just underscores the wisdom to wait to confirm lineups shortly before gametimes.

No hits by either team through 3 innings
Only run was a hit batter that stole second, got to 3rd on a groundout, then scored on a sac fly.
1 run with no hits.
Then a solo HR to a served up pitch to Alvarez.
I like the play and the Rangers bats should wake up.
Still time.
