sweep category results : 4 avoided the sweep and 2 were swept
rubber game results : 6 of the 7 favs won game 3 in the rubber match on thurs . the lone dog to win was ariz . had to get a blown save to do it ..

[chipski]

the trying to avoid the sweep category will be huge on sunday .
huge ? at least 8 teams .
so there are at the least 8 teams that will win back to back in game 1 and 2 .............................

find 3 or 4 of those teams and do 2 teamers and 3 teamers on fri and sat with your best qualifiers .
pretty simple really .

this is the 2nd round of interlerleauge play in the 08 .
(first round of interleauge was may 16th - may 18th) you can peek on page 1 of this thread to see what happened with the sweep category in the first round.. or you can check out the best of series thread .. is ez to see and articulate and compare past to present ..

what happened in the 1st round of interleauge this year involving the sweep ?
only 5 teams lost back to back and were trying to avoid the sweep : (meaning lost the first 2 games of the series ..)

indians giants (in nl parks) > both were swept in nl park
astros nats brew (in al parks) > brew were swept , other 2 avoided in al park

so what we had were alot of teams splitting the first 2 games in round 1 ..

how did the al vs nl #s come out the 1st go round ?
fri > al 7 wins nl 5 wins ( 2 games ppd > ny at ny , milw at bos)
sat > al 9 wins nl 6 wins ( dh sat in bos > rsox won both as fav)
sun > nl 8 wins al 6 wins

count > al 22 wins the nl 17 wins

fav/dog count for round 1 > favs 28 wins the dogs 13 wins

there are no rematches this series from the first go round of interleauge .

[chipski]

refer to post above , everyone should try this tonight . if it doesn't work tonight do it again on sat ...
the find 3 or 4 of those teams line in post #38 above , just try it out ...

all 4 interl games that started on mon split the first 2 to set up the game 3 rubber match ..

[chipski]

let's look at the teams that still qualify for the sweep category :

these teams can make the trying to avoid the sweep category because of a game 1 loss :
remember normally we should look for 8 or more .. these #s have been thrown a bit though with 4 of the series starting on monday > all 4 of those split the first 2 games ... that was something else really . not one team of the 4 was beaten back to back ... so now what ? we have 10 interleauge matchups still in the early stage of the series so what do we look for in those ? 5 or 6 lose back to back setting up 5 or 6 sweep opps and 3 or 4 rubber games right .

so who loses back to back in game 2 wed setting up the sweep opp on thurs ?
the candidates are as follows :
nl parks
bjays >
cards >
indians >
dbacks >

al parks
astros >
padres >
cubs >
braves >
nats >
pirates >

nl game
reds >

note: all 8 al home teams won on tues . of course 6 of those were game 1's and the angels and mariners was game 2 ..
al teams dominated on tues winning 12 of the 14 games . the 2 nl wins were the brew and rocks at home .

My take/predictions for this whole category are :
bjays lose >
cards lose >
indians > no pick
dbacks lose >
astros lose >
pads win >
cubs lose >
braves lose >
nats lose >
pirates lose >
reds lose >

rubber games nl parks
a's 1 at 2 dbacks > dbacks won back to back

the nl park only featured 6 matchups this go round with 2 of them starting on mon . that would explain why there is only 1 rubber game in the nl parks . in 3 of the 4 series still going in the nl park the winning team won back to back (brew , royals , rocks ..



rubber games al parks
braves 1 at 2 rangers > braves won game 2 (reyes)

5 of the 6 al home teams that won game 1 on tues went on to win game 2 on wed

braves at rangers is the only al park rubber game for thurs though we had 2 rubber games in the al park on wed night with the away nl team winning both > marlins and mets

results of 3rd round interl play mon - thurs were as follows :
mon > nl 4 wins the al 0 wins
tues > al 12 wins the nl 2 wins
wed > al 8 wins the nl 6 wins

all 6 al home teams that won game 1 on tues went on to win game 2 on wed

so why should anything change too much for thurs in game 3 with the al home teams ..
we have these 5 al teams trying to sweep and win 3 in a row at home in the al parks :
al parks : these 5 al home teams will go for the 3 - 0 spanking
yanks >
twins >
wsox >
o's >

what is the most likely result with these 5 games ? sweeps or avoid the sweep ? we could have a 5 - 0 sweep here <>
or 3 get swept and 2 avoid ?
i think we will see a lopsided # with these 5 in al parks on thurs ..

[pimike]

Didn't Thursday's games all complete the sweep about 8 of them?

Don't see it this time.

[DazeyBlazer]

im thinking at least 4 of the 7 sweep...

and the rubber games...without looking at pitching matchup i like....
braves, rangers, brewers, tigers
and
rays, royals,marlins, rocks....hopefully be a big day

[chipski]

mike , was 9 teams and they all were swept last round . was 8 in interleauge and the reds were swept at home by the dodgers in the nl game ..
blaze , 4 of the 7 could very well be pretty accurate though it looks very good for the avoid the sweep to jump in with lopsided #s as well > by what paper dictates and they are pretty much all favs trying to avoid the sweep ...
funny that the last matchup in this category will be chic at chic .
honestly we could have every team avoided the sweep with 1 left to go in the nighttime game . so we would say give me the cubs , there has to be at least one team to get swept ..
i shi! you not . could be the scenario . jays need to win for this to occur for sure , is super iffy one in pitt . jays forgot how to fuc'in hit !

from the info you gather

what do you see that would follow the trends for tomorrow's games or is there nothing

I been taking the sweeps myself past few weeks

[AC1318]

for the 4 set series I see LAA and BREWERS on 7/10

[chipski]

for the 4 set series I see LAA and BREWERS on 7/10

i agree , both of those teams win thurs to split the series 2 - 2 ..
seems very probable .

in the 3 game series of the 4 teams only one is at home , kc .
i like the mets to sweep sf
cubs to sweep reds
jays to sweep o's
the one home team trying to avoid wins , kc
3 get swept and one avoids ..

if we had to play the 2 - 2 result (2 sweep , 2 avoid) with the 3 game , we could go for it with the reds , or take reds +1.5

would look like this for a 4 teamer playing the 3 game sweep cat
mets reds +1.5 jays royals

all 4 to get swept on a parlay is good too
mets cubs jays wsox
