The lean has to be to the YanksComment -
I lean White Sox with the way Beuhrle has pitched last two times out! Much better games on the schedule today though, than to try to pick the winner in this one.Comment -
My lean is Yanks but their numbers against Buerhle aren't all that impressive and the Sox are tearing up the ball right now.Comment -
Buerhle has never beaten the YankeesComment -
Well I guess he's 1-5

It's pretty hard to beat a team 4 times in a row...Comment -
On the Yanks....they cash today.Comment -
In streak Buerhle is 0-5 against the Yanks. He is to be faded when facing this team until he proves that he can beat the Yanks. I got me some Yankee earlier. Sabathia is being had at a ridiculously low price today.Comment -
NY Yankees -129

Road Favorites in Game 4 of a Series
Home field advantage in baseball decreases as the series progresses to the point that by game 4, it is as if the game was played on a neutral field. Since the Vegas odds have yet to take this into account, we can capitalize on a small system playing on road favorites.
Favorites are defined as a team that has the highest likelihood of winning and the odds express its probability of winning. We have the suspicion that road favorites should be bigger favorites when playing in the fourth game of a series by nature of the fact that Game 4 turns into a neutral field.
Give our team the motivation necessary to close out the series strong and we have a pretty good yet rare system. Losing game 3 should be sufficient motivation for our favorite in game 4. Our team is about 8 points undervalued and it is +15 units over the past 7 seasons.
My pick is..Comment -
The betting trend is telling me to go against the public and pick CWS. But my rule book say don't play against a good team trying to avoid a sweep. It's a very tough call to make. If this is the only game and I have to have action, I would take the Yanks because good teams usually play well in this situation. No play for me, best of luck to y'all.Comment
