Just my 2 cents. Washington is the only play I like today. I won't chase Detroit. There best opportunity for a win was last night and we all know how that turned out.

b2w and irage i have an idea.  For the rest of the season I will be chasing any rangers series (they only got swept once last year) and i'll be fading the twins and padres to not sweep a series vs decent teams.  I think just doing this will be profitable at the end of the season.  Thoughts?

On paper it sounds good. It really does. But in reality, it will fail probably, ballpark figure, 5-7X. Houston last year was one of the worst teams ever. And Houston swept 2 series. I dont think MIN or SD is as bad as those guys. They will win at times.

I'm not sure that will work, but if you feel it's worth pursuing you should test it out. The dynamics of each team changes from year to year, which makes it extremely hard to predict. I put a lot of effort into my picks and I still get it wrong. I would have never bet that SF would get swept, but they did. You are playing with intangibles which is why most gamblers lose.

Just my opinion.

  • As of 4/22, the Blue Jays have won three games of a four game series against the Royals, with the 4th game still to play (4/23).

Please correct me if I am wrong but Seattle swept Detroit April 24,25,26  would that make seattle 1-1 on 3gm. sweeps and 1-1 overall?  I do like That format you set up jaycut.

Bad first inning. That's why I leave the individual picking to Irage.

Whats happening to baseball this year? Seems hard to win A games really. The Nats had it and stupid closer gave it away.

But you just know it never works the other way... I have money on PHI tonight, and you think Philly comes back to beat NYM in the 9th? Not likely.

I agree! NBA is rigged. Stern is the ringleader. MLB isnt rigged. But the homeplate umpires should all be shot.

I guess what I've learned from this whole exchange is that we need to take the break and not look for plays because the RPI  doesn't have anything for us.

I was riding a hell of a high on Sunday.

I will continue chasing the Nats for I believe the Pirates won't be able to sweep them. At least that's what my gut says, but for the Rockies, it's kinda hard picturing out that they won't get swept. They have the hitters but they just can't connect. Maybe something's wrong with their rotation perhaps? Any thoughts B2W and irage? I'm willing to chase them believing their streak SHOULD come to an end one way or the other but the question really is...when?
