    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.

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

    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 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?

    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?
