Not to be too imposing and keep dwelling on the JM Tex play tomorrow, but what makes you so confident to against Tex tomorrow when the system has hit 100% on B in the last year at least according to the creator himself? I am really hung up on the play as I am afraid that the chase on this series could cramp out, which would be detrimental to movement, especially we are just out of the gate with number two.
For example today, it is always hard to gauge a game by seeing where the public is b/c the betting side in JM games are always so one-sided. Today, I really thought A was going to hit because 1). A has hit 90% in the last year according to JM 2). you had a good enough pitcher in McCarthy and a hot Tex bats who just swept the Angels to go against a washed out Dontrelle Willis who is trying to get his groove back. And what you know, Dontrelle pitches 6+ innings with 1 hit and like 5Ks, it may seem like Dontrelle got his groove back today just like Stella did back in 1998.
Verlander is a good pitcher who has been streaking lately and pitched two spectacular games, but I believe Tigers lost his last start. Matt Harrison has been a solid pitcher for Tex, and he is no chump I believe. Verlander could go streaking again tomorrow, but are you afraid the of Tigers bullpen blowing the game or Verlander may not even show up since he is probably so disappointed that he did not get a decision in the last start or he is simply due for a correction in a negative way. Bottom line, I have a difficult time going against JM percentages on B. Your further thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
