Remember that every baseball team face some long losing streaks as well as long winning streaks. 2) Eliminate games where the money line for the underdog are higher then 2.50 (+150). If this is the case, there is a reason and you must avoid these games. 3) Eliminate games where the underdog is facing a very good pitcher.
