Has a team in MLB ever lost 5 games in a row as a favorite?

[pavyracer]

Braves lost their last 5 games as a favorite with 4 of them on the road. How can a team be favored with such a pathetic record?

[rm18]

Red Sox lost 4 in a row last week, it has probably happened hundreds on times

[sickler]

Yeah especially to overpriced teams like Yanks, Bosox, Cubs....

[pavyracer]

RedSox lost all 4 to the same team and they were at home. Braves lost to 3 different teams and 4 of them on the road. Why would they keep being favored on the road if they keep losing?

Cox has a strong squad this year...

they will be a tough out come postseason

Have to ask some of these martingale chase system guys, but they will probably tell you it is impossible

[floridagolfer]

My guess is that it happens several times a season, although I don't have the stats to show it.

[Naz18]

Probably happens to Yankees at least once a year..

They are not fav's tomorrow and probably will win. They have a solid club. In baseball the GREAT teams lose 4 out of 10. The only way to bet baseball is either totals or dogs. Anybody who takes fav's in baseball knows nothing about gambling. ( I'm not talking -120,-130 fav's). You cant predict this shit.

I'm sure it has happened thousands of times. 10 in a row as a favorite would not be a stretch
