It's nice that you have these trends, but they are just trends. Just because the Red Sox have been good lately doesn't mean that they will win. The Sox are dominant at home, but not so much on the road. The same applies to Masterson on the road. He didn't pitch as well against the Reds as his record shows. He has yet to face a dominant offense like Philly's.

I'm well aware of that. What I stated yesterday is that I have been away from baseball for a few years so right now most of my picks are coming straight from the stats and trends. I'm hoping by the beginning of next season I'll know most of the players as well as everyone on here seems to and I'll be able to increase the accuracy a bit.
