Beat The Streak - $1 Million Prize

[homedawg]

the damn thing is locked for the day. Now I gotta start my streak all over... :bang: I was only 56 picks away from the lute. :drunk:

[Loaded Shooter]

My system is to choose hitters playing in day games so I have something to sqeeze for while I'm stuck here at work. I do it on prosportsdaily, but the prize is only 10k (A pittance for all my efforts!) I will switch to MLB post haste!

"Dude, honestly there's no "plan". You're analyzing it WAAAAAY too much"

Prophetic. Mesmorizing. Eye Opening. Classic. The NY Times calls CuseFan's analyzation "life changingly brilliant with a perfect hint of sarcasm and dry wit."

:laughing:

[homedawg]

and what if a batter is too strong against an opposing pitcher? WALK WALK WALK WALK... :beer2:

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

What I'm going do is only picking hitters who are 1) hitting over .300 on the year and 2) have at least 10 hits against the opposing pitcher in the past & hitting over .300 as well against them for their career. 3) picking a contact pitcher... someone with under 5 Ks per 9 innings. Let's see how it works.

Dude, honestly there's no "plan". You're analyzing it WAAAAAY too much. It's complete dumb luck. I got to 18 once I think is my highest, I've never hit 20. I've done it for 3 years I think. I actually haven't done it this year because I just have been forgetting about it.

Only minor advice I can give is ride a guy on a hitting streak until the last possible second then jump ship. It's a slippery slope though, but all in all it's a tremendously fun game that is horrificly impossible.

I would agree on the luck part. But looking at the batter stats vs pitcher, and batter this season stats could help a bit. I think they get you on the everday, and certain cutoff times, plus if a pitcher is replaced or a batter is sat down for the day, then what happens? 57 in a row is alot. :beer2:

lol...there's a "plan" in everything. Even if simple. This "plan" is as stated, and obvious too all, I know. But yeah, of course you get screwed eventually, and dumb luck is evident.

Analyzing it too much is posting a one sentence theory? lmao...

What's the highest you got Cuse?

Seems like the plan is to check out all the end of the rotation type high ERA starters off the list, and pick a good hitter with good career numbers off that pitcher, and hope for the best....

I've done this for years. It's impossibly hard. But fun.
