Nationals were 6-0 before dropping 6 straight home contests. I said it earlier in the year that I believed them to win around 70% of their home games. It is not unrealistic to believe they win 2 straight at home. The Reds playing extra innings in multiple contests this week and I think their pen has suffered. Bailey will have to throw a gem for the Reds to win and the pen would have to protect the lead.
When 2 good pitchers start, I feel public perception is they dominate. Potentially they can, but I have seen few situations where that was the case. The Tigers/Royals game went over yesterday. The Nationals/Reds game went over yesterday even with Gio slinging a 1 hitter. These teams have 2 of the most potent line ups in the league. I think one of the games this series will go Under the total, but not this one.

This thread has not evolved the way I thought it would. I know it is in the playoffs but I'd like to invite everyone to Mavin's NBA Thread to learn how this thread was intended to function. I understand that calling this a "Contest" is a bit deceiving because competition is not normally associated with bettering your opponent. If the "Contest" is an individual event; I do not think Mavin would post the combined records.
I believe our thread and group is only as strong as our weakest record, and only as successful as the Group record. We need to come together to strengthen the whole and raise that bottom level. I know that internally you may be thinking, "how does that help me?" Well, how doesn't it?
I have spoken in other threads about the power of the 12 Step Program when applied to life. I am not an alcoholic but practice the philosophy to make me a better person. Mavin has suggested a process here. Yes, people like MikeTizzy, Simondog, and myself will have good days and nights. In the long run, we will become average as we did not come together.
How can we correct this? First off, following the guidelines. Making picks, discussing them, and learning from successes and failures. We still have not had this big ML discussion and it is pretty clear that Simondog and I won't take the -1.5 lines; so to make everyone better, we need both sides of the story. We need to look for trends and point them out. In the NBA thread, TurboVTK and I are working on a 2H Total theory. In the MLB, AshyLarry and I send private messages discussing a TT to Total theory. Our theories have improved and we have hit some great picks. Some of our Total picks for the contest are supported by this theory. This is how we better ourselves.
