Guys, what is the best chase system for baseball?

[pavyracer]

Paver not a bad answer actually

The doubleheader method works too if one team wins the first game take the other team the second game

What about her, Steve?

She's upstairs, I'm in the basement playing with my Star Trek figurines.

Action Figures, mother fukker!

[The Giant]

Diggity, I totally trapped you!



You just admitted to playing with Star Trek action figures.

Interesting.

What's the logic? Tired bullpens?

I always thought the play was just to fade the winner of the first game.

The edge there is not as great as people make it out to be.

Year	Total DHs	Total Sweeps	Road Sweeps	Home Sweeps	Splits	Road Win 1st	Home Win 1st
2005	18	7	2	5	11	5	6
2006	23	10	4	6	13	5	8
2007	21	12	5	7	9	3	6
2008	25	14	8	6	11	8	3
2009	23	13	5	8	10	3	7
2010	17	7	2	5	10	7	3
2011	34	18	7	11	16	7	9
2012	20	10	4	6	10	5	5
2013	25	16	7	9	9	5	4
2014	12	6	3	3	6	2	4

In the past decade (excluding 2015) I haven't updated my database, and my data is up to June 1, 2014
There have been 113 DH sweeps.
(51.83 percent)

The road team that has game one, went on to sweep the second game 48.54 percent of the time, where as the home team that has won game one went on to sweep 54.54 percent of the time.

There is no clear cut edge

Overall Winning Percentage of Home Teams
2014	0.515
2013	0.537
2012	0.532
2011	0.525
2010	0.556

Also you have to factor in teams involved, a lot of times team will use a spot starter, long reliever for a second game.

There is no edge.

What about where Deemer suggested playing the over in the second game, Nash? Got anything on that?

Deemer is an idiot. He has won 1 unit in mbl in 3 years flat betting.

[The Giant]

.5 units on Oakland.
If it loses, 1 unit on them tomorrow.

[Seaweed]

Oakland game will finish like 3-2 in 12 innings tonight and the players will be tired tomorrow

[The Giant]

They'll still show up tomorrow.

Has anyone ever made a fade SBR thread?

People only pretend to fade after the fact.

Yawn.

4 game chase
Away team loses the first 2 of a 3 game or more series.
Then start Game 1
Basic concept they won't get swept 2 series in a row
It does lose but you'll be up after the year .

Why the away team? Just so hopefully the odds are lower?

So, basically if they go on a six-game trip, and they lose the first two games, start chasing them?

Not cool, Giant.

Not cool AT ALL.

[Slipknot26]

Mispoke on rules
It's all away chase

[The Giant]

Yes , odds are lower
No the next series can be at home , so part of why it wins more than losses.
Not many will lose 3 on the road , then 3 straight at home .
Just as long as they're the away team , lose the first 2 , then play next 4 no matter where they're playin .

This is confusing. What if they win the first game, and then lose the next two?

[Slipknot26]

You don't play it haha
I'll send you a pm with the rules

[t-wizzle]

Deemer is an idiot. He has won 1 unit in mbl in 3 years flat betting.

And negative 2 units in nba in 3 years.

[The Giant]

I like home teams in a 4 game sets, after losing the first 2...

Like Oakland tonight

$100 on gray and if they lose $200 tomorrow

Nice one, kid.

If you remember, let me know the next time this scenario pops up.

[Statman]

Thanks for this one Louisvillekid1 - Close one but a win is a win no matter how thin the margin !!
Nice start for Gray too...Will be interesting to see what his next start is like.
Are you going with Oakland today as well to get the split?
