Chicago/Cleveland Game 2 info

After the White Sox won Game 1 by a score of 3-0, I took a look at how both teams have responded to shutouts this season. The White Sox following a shutout win went 2-7. They went 1-4 if they were playing the same team. The only win was a 9-1 win at home over the A's on the Sunday just before the All-Star break.

Cleveland went 11-5 this season after getting blanked. They went 7-3 if they were playing the same team. 

Wait, the Clevelanders got shutout sixteen times? Yes, and since the All-Star break they have been shutout eleven times in just 66 games. Yikes. And following those ten shutout losses since late July, they went just 6-4, and just 4-3 if they were playing the same team. It's starting to feel like the enthusiastic White Sox will continue their October winning ways.

Go White Sox! BOL to you MrBator   

Since the Jays went tits up I jumped on the Sox.

Throw in some over plays & lets go! 

Clev 1st 5 and Game!!

This 1 day of rest trend for the Whitesox is hard to ignore also. I used chatgpt to pull the below using Whitesox regular season schedule

O/U: 19-1 OVER (95.0%)

That's one of the strongest White Sox situational total trends we've found.

The scoring averages are also extreme:

• White Sox: 6.85 runs/game
• Opponent: 6.30 runs/game
• Combined: 13.15 runs/game
• Median combined score: 12.5 runs
• 10+ combined runs: 15/20 — 75%
• 12+ combined runs: 12/20 — 60%

And the striking part: the only Under was the very first occurrence of the season, Mar. 28. Since then, Chicago is 19-0 to the OVER after a rest day.

So the recent/ongoing trend is 19 consecutive Overs after rest. That's definitely worth flagging in your White Sox model.

I like it.  Stay with the hot hand.

Is it w  Sox Over time again????   I want some…..

@Bigballer

 That can't be ignored, it's s too strong a trend. Some might argue this is the playoffs now, new season or the past doesn't matter but still a 19 in a row situation is a must play, win, lose, or draw.

Except that streak was snapped two days ago. I wouldn't recommend relying on this trend here in the postseason because every one of those 19 overs happened in the first game of a series vs. (obviously) a different team than the one they just played.

@MrBator

It was NOT snapped two days ago if we're talking one day rest and NOT two game rest like Saturdays game having Thursday and Friday off.

Just saying 

Good luck whatever you decide MB I'm taking an over shot in this one. 

@MrBator

 Miss your glorious NFL bets from 20 plus years ago. I haven't seen any in a long long time.

Give me da Undaaaaaaa
