    Fade the ASStros season thread

    **all lines pulled from VI.com**

    been a dog all 11 games so far this season. hypothetically starting with $200.....

    had you faded every game, betting $50 a game, you would be sitting at a balance of $262.50

    and for shits and giggles the over has hit 9 of 11 times.

    I think you'd make more betting PIT team total under every game. You'd certainly be risking less.

    God bless.

    May want to consider fading the Padres at the moment, last place and they have the phillies, nationals and giants in the next three series

    they, along with KC are another ones im keeping my eye on

    last year houston didn't string together a winning streak of more then 4 games. and that was maybe 3-4 times. their longest losing streak was 7 with about 7-8 streaks of 4 or 5.

    Fade the Cubs. Love them, but my god they can't win games. They can't score typically and their bullpen is awful. Even if the starting pitcher does keep them close, the bullpen blows it immediately.

    One of the Astros sells insurance with me. He plays for the Stros to supplement his income.

    I've been tinkering with a system and noticed the trend. Equally as trendy is DET team total over at home, but overs are always risky in case of injury and whatnot.

    God bless.

    I did mean team totals. I'm sure the games are going under as well since PIT hardly musters 3 runs but to limit variance I stick with fading their brutal offense.

    Wandy's play last year means you have to respect his game but even if he keeps LAD to 1-3 runs, his offense can't muster anything.

    agreed. but for the time being im just tracking it. just decided to make up the $200 starting balance and bets of $50. just wanna see how far it can either go, or how long before it goes bust. i don't think the latter will happen though

    Went big on Over 8 last night w/Stros/Milw since Wolf sucks too. Spreading the wealth works pretty well for the NFL....pretty sad for baseball when teams like Houston, KC, Oakland, etc. are basically eliminated in April

    I think it's safe to not only bet PIT team totals under all season but also chasing the losses. It seems the team is incapable of scoring more than 3 runs in consecutive games.

    Same goes for the Mets.

    Houston is already eliminated because of years of mismanagement by their front office (i.e. not going over slot for draft picks, giving up draft picks in exchange for average free agents and giving said free agents huge deals, making questionable trades, closing their Venezuelan facility, etc...) not because of economic disparity of MLB. That being said they actually have a positive run differential.
    Kansas City is a talented team whose record doesn't reflect the quality of baseball they've played thus far and will be much more competitive going forward.
    I'm not as familiar with Oakland's dilemma, but you may actually have a point there.
