    Pitching. Then I either take an educated guess (most baseball games are coin flips though) or tail Nash.

    Baseball too damn hard to predict. Hitters go cold in an instant and stay that way and the worst thing in the whole sport is that closer's CAN'T CLOSE anymore. Rivera is the only legit closer left in the shit (people are all over Kimbrel's dick, but he is overrated IMO) and when he has a stretch of bad games people say he is shit.
