Too obvious probably, but I'm on the Cubs anyway. I watched the game yesterday, and so much went wrong there it's hard to conceive of them having one more day like that against this Pirates team.

Can you explain that formula?

Sure rake922: It shows that for as far back as the site has data, no team has ever won a game on the road after scoring 1 run or less in three games consecutively before braking out into a scoring "frenzy" (8runs+). Pirates scored 10 yesterday, and before that they scored only one run or less three games in a row. So, no team in that position has ever won a game on the road (Pirates play @ Wrigley today) for the period that that site has data for. I'm not suggesting you base a play on this. It is a pretty cool nugget though, and as I said I feel good about the cubs anyway today...
