We compare the batting averages of all the players on both teams against both pitchers. You can have a good hitting team that for some reason just can't hit a particular pitcher. When you find a dog that matches up well with the opposing pitcher, that's half the battle. Also, going against either winning or losing streaks is not a good thing. You gotta look at bullpens, we have lost a lot of games in the ninth inning. It's almost the time of year where we are considering taking the first five innings.

Most important, stock up on valium or tequila. You lose a ton of games with these dogs, but if you stick with dogs only you are gonna come out ahead in the long run. Try the dogs out, get a medical check up before you do this and make sure your heart is healthy enough. Shoot for a 50% winning percentage. Enjoy the ride.
