milwaukee at san diego

haynes vs. jones

neither pitcher is worth looking at, as they both are in terrible form, both averaging right around a 7 era in their last 4 games.

using my 2nd grade math, i add 7+7 and come up with 14, yet the totals line is at 9.5?? are you kidding?

if we are getting set up on this one, so be it.

I remember about 2-3 weeks ago...someone brought up the stat about San Diego home games going OVER in the third game of a final home stand...
just checked it out...

using the magic number ten.
most recent O/U : we'll take since May
san diego's third and final home game stand:
O/U : 6-1-1
something to think aboot.

that is certainly another way of looking at it. i basically handicap pitchers and their recent performance(last 4), and how it compares to their overall season, in trying to spot a trend. i also look at lefthanders to see how the opposite team behaves against them, and that is it. i think nolan mentioned a few days ago that two terrible pitchers make for an under and maybe it will apply here.

i find it more comfortable to stay within my parameters in order to remain consistent, but recognize there are many more ways of handicapping.

i only play dogs, but other than tor and detroit i could not pull the trigger on any of the other dogs, so i had to wing it with totals to meet my contest requirements. i do feel pretty good with the over on this one, but must confess the last time i spotted such a wild disparity i got burned. what can i say? here we go again.

thanks for the input.
