According to my algorithm/mojo ratings -- the Houston Astros WILL NOT get swept by the Dodgers. The Dodgers will not win the series 4-0. If the Dodgers win, it will be in 6 games or even the final showdown in Pasadena. 

The landscape of things to come and how i plan to NOT LOSE money in the series -- here are the mojo ratings:

Damn the 7800 characters limit! Will have to break it down into Home-Away clusters.

Forget it. The stupid 7800 character limit is so annoying, i can't do the copy and paste job as i wanted.

Here are the links to the team mojo ratings:

So, according to the ratings i think this could be a series where the home teams win their respective games. 

I plan to bet on the Astros at home to make my money back if Houston goes back to Minute Maid Park down 0-2.

The Dodgers team mojo is really bad for the last 4 or 5 games. This is the reason why i give the edge to the Astros as far as winning the whole thing.

I had the ASTROS for AlCS from game one of playoffs. I also have em +375 for WS. Question is...if you were me do you guarantee money and play Dodgers for half of wager or do I ride it out like a real gambler...lol. As you can see, I have been around a while, but never, ever post. I have followed you for years though. What do you think? Are you absolutley sold on Astros? I was and am but after watching Dodgers, they have me second guessing. I am not the type to shout out my bet amounts, but lets hust say it is substantial. If it wasn't I would let it ride.

Besides the Super Bowl and the college football Championship game, i treat the World Series  games just like any other game. No need to blow my wad here. 

Losing $200-$500 at this point is nothing when i am up 63.24 units (+$5,584.47) on the season. And i am hitting over 65% in the post-season.

It is relative how much you have made for the season. If you were willing to gamble a substantial amount -- let it ride.

I give the Astros a 56% chance to win the World Series. Definitely worth the tasty odds you got from early October.

You're only up 5.5k on the season and you think losing 10% of your bank roll is nothing

Interesting reasoning. Might have to consider the series play now. 

Might wait and and see how G1 goes, then play the series if they are behind 0-1. peace_5

Your statement is incorrect, the 10% of bankroll part. I think you meant 10% of what i have won.

Kershaw at home = 2.02 groundballs for every flyball

Kershaw on the road = 4.12 groundballs for every flyball

Keuchel on the road = 5.75 groundballs for every flyball

Keuchel at home = 8.4 groundballs for every flyball

HappyKane: as a teacher, we live by our rubrics. So when grades are given out, in order for the grade to be of worth, it needs a rubric to support it. How do you go about giving the grades I see above? I like your style but I'm just curious to see how you get those grades amigo. Thanks bud.

It is not what you think.

Ratings are derived from biorhythms + ephemeris. Very esoteric stuff; not an exact science but has been very useful and it is an intellectual property i do not care to delve into at the moment. But i have been doing this since 2006 (in which season i predicted a Red Sox sweep of the Rockies in the 2007 World Series). Only those that have followed my system for a long time understand how i use the algorithm to get my results/betting patterns.

For some reason, I keep drawing similarities to the 1990 World Series.

It was another west coast team that appeared unbeatable, the Oakland A's. They had won the WS the year before and had won over 100 games in 1990. They had a great bullpen and the nuts for a closer in Eckersley. They had an all star line-up: McGwire, Harold Baines, Dave Herderson, Jose Canseco; and speed too with Ricky Henderson leading off. If I remember right, the series price was something like -280/+240, and with good reason because the A's did seem unbeatable.

But the problem was, their opponent was a pretty good team too, the Redlegs, and they didn't go for all that hype. They had a lot of role players, and a great middle infield in Larkin and Duncan, and a guy in center who could catch anything. And they played great team ball.

So, long story short, those unbeatable A's got swept.

this is the world series man. Throw all your sabermatrics i the garbage. whoever gets to the starter first wins if the playing field is similar in strength which even the Astros manager tell you they are, and even said  they can go head to head wihtout an issue.. all these + and -s are nonsense this time of the year chief. Your from LA right your team to Vicotry instead of backin these Texans.

going to World Series game tomorrow myself. Proud Angelian Wessss Sideeeee. $2000 on Kershaw.. and sleep well tonight
