I mean, can we not make money on this?
last year, Old School tracked betting against Oakland every game. if i recall correctly, based on a wager to win $100 (they were a 'dog just about every game), it profited around $2K. i think it peaked close to $3K before leveling off.

I think playing a parlay of Dodgers/whoever is playing the A’s all season would be fascinating.

Against the A's... YTD +$1,983.00
A's 50-112

+$2,785 for the year was the high water mark before Oaklands miraculous 7 game winning streak.

I have a fat futures ticket on the white Sox under 63.5 wins. All they gotta do is lose 99 games and I gotta winna. 4 down, 95 left to go. Well, likely 94 after the Braves abuse them again tonight.
damn, i was way too late to that party. i got 'em under 61.5.

shockingly close tonight. only 2 starts, but crochet looks solid.

and i just saw dejong had a pinch hit hr. bullshit.

Thanks Old school :smilies8

before season started i picked six teams: 4 worst in wins and two worst in money returned:

Colorado
Kansas City
NY Mets
San Diego
Chicago WS

and of course
Oakland

i play against these teams in all matches they play, if they play against each other = pass.

at the moment stats are M/L Picks 225-151-0 59.84% +12.53u

Most interesting angle that i found is that if any of these teams are home favorites and total is 7½ or less = play Over.
I don't have exact stats for this, but it's easily on the winning side.

edit: checked my plays: W16 - L5, i didn't play this angle from the start of the season so it isn't accurate number but gives idea.

For example SD today vs WSH is 7½
