pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +1
Washington Mystics

[yisman]

I'm 50% in soccer. This took months of work. Woohoo!

[yisman]

Chow lost an 8 gamer on 7/30. He now has a ten gamer.

He's won 19 of 24 and his overall winning percentage is .494.

[pico]

streak -2

aston villa

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +2
Aston Villa WIN

[Chow]

lol @ yisman

i was gonna pick two yesterday but chickened out...

just got a speeding ticket for over 25 mph so i'll take a break from streaking o.o

need to reset my mind and then i will be ready for some fearless surgical picking...

[pico]

is chow the leader right now? i know yisman has the best percentage for a while

[losturmarbles]

damn, good job chow

another 10 streaker

[MexicanStallion]

Streak -1
Peabody, Mass

[SamsNCharge99]

same pick as the Stallion

[Chow]

i would pick that washington(4-0) team

[losturmarbles]

lol i just checked 5dimes for odds on the match and it's a 9.5 run line??? lol

Oregon+9½ -170
Washington-9½ +130

[losturmarbles]

line is now

Oregon+9½ -150
Washington-9½ +110

[losturmarbles]

mercy rule is 10 runs, so i guess they expect this game to end early.

In Little League Baseball, rules usually call for the game to end if the winning team is ahead by 17 runs after five innings. In some leagues, this margin may be as little as eight. However, in the Little League World Series, the international ten-run rule is in effect, with the game being stopped after four innings (3½ innings if the home team is ahead).

[yisman]

that's the reason the line is 9.5. If the mercy rule was 12 runs, the line would be 11.5. If it was 8 runs, the line would be 7.5

etc.

I wish I had saved my streak for this instead of losing it on lard ass on Thursday night.

[yisman]

mercer island now favored to mercy the oregon kids

-9.5 (-125)

[pico]

streak -2

mets

[yisman]

pico, you skipped mercer island?

the 7 PM tennis and WNBA did not end in time.

worked out for me.

closing percentage on mercer island ended up being only 93.8%

streaks on MI:

25
24
23
22
three 20s
three 19s
three 18s
six 17s

oddly enough, none of the listed 16s picked it.

there's a 17 on the Mercury, which makes no sense.

Let's hope there's a miracle and Mercer loses.

[yisman]

pico, you're -3

[yisman]

del potro takes two straight games from Roddick to go from 4-5 in the third set to 6-5


dp him!

on the women's side, dementieva took two straight from jankovic in the third set to go from 1-3 to 3-3

[yisman]

and del potro wins! He nailed all the Roddick pickers. Now they're on a losing streak and they missed Mercy Rule Island.

Del Potro is now 3-0 lifetime against Roddick. He beat him twice in the span of a week. First in the Washington title game and now in the semifinals of another North American event.

[SamsNCharge99]

streak of 1...going w/ the Yanks

[pico]

pico, you're -3

sorry, i am still hung over from last night.

yes -3 streak and it is the YANKEES, not mets. just realized it is an AL game

[yisman]

you can take the Mets tomorrow. :P

I'm at W1

not sure what to take to start tomorrow

golf will of course not end by soccer, so those two picks are the same timeslot.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +1
Cabrera Win/Tie

[yisman]

streak at 1

Tottenham Hotspur win/draw

I'd also take w/d in golf if I was picking that one.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak -1
Tennis- Any other result

[yisman]

went Giants. I think they'll win. Not a very strong pick, but there's the possibility that it ends in time for 4:05, so I gotta take it.

If not for that, I'd take Johnson over Stewart.

streak 2.

someone put a W20 on the Giants

[yisman]

UGH

streak 0

ChiSox

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +1
Leaning Braves or Favorite LLWS

[Chow]

those cali teams look undefeated

i'll pass for now

[losturmarbles]

well fuk jimmy johnson loses after leading most of the race, i shouldve just stuck with the tennis pick i guess

did johnson run out of gas or crash?, yahoo has him in the lead until about 5 laps to go

http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/sprint/races/14/drivercompare?year=2009&d1=87&d2=213&d3=351#

espn comments says he ran out of gas lol

oh well, i'll take the llws Chula Vista, California , they are -420/+300 favs at 5dimes

[yisman]

racing is not a sport.

Lot of big favorites in LLWS, and they're easy picks for the leaderboard.

Streaks getting inflated.

What's interesting is the non-leaderboard people. They take MLB over LLWS and there's always 6% taking the underdog, no matter how slanted the game appears to be. Just to be contrarian. Like with Mercy Rule Island yesterday.

[yisman]

San Francisco:

20

Milwaukee:

17

Jimmie Johnson:

19

20 streak on Tiger winning by 3+

White Sox:

23
18
two 17s

all those ended today.

Now I'll root for an L3 for me. If SoCal loses, that helps.

[pico]

streak 1
