I am new at betting baseball and have a question to mavin or any of the cappers here. I have heard before when a team wins two in a row you ride them till they lose.

Do any of the handicappers here use this type of stragady?

Hope it dont sound like a dumb question and thanks in advance for any input.

By now, I'd expect some of you to draw a conclusion what is wrong with your picks that despite not bad W/L record - the winnings are deflating.
You're paying too much juice and in many cases need an extra win every other day only to cover for two big juice losses.
You're playing what the whole world and his sister is playing and playing into the hands of Vegas.
Your late picks influenced by the brainwash and "line movements" in last hour - are mostly losers and take away the great winnings accumulated in process. 
We're entering third 10 day stretch. Use this to analyze your picks
I will join as well sometimes this week and will try to have an impact number wise but mostly thinking process wise in baseball which is completely different than in any other sports because of seriality (that's a new word I just invented ha ha ha)

Alright Mavin, got some dog meat for you today.  Going with Phillies, Kendrick is 5-1 last 6 vs Cards with a lifetime era against them of 2.68.  Wainright has not impressed me lately.  Taking Padres who will try and stop getting swept again.  They have Stults pitching who is 4-2 lifetime against the Giants and Zito showed his true colors last game out.  Gonna go with the Dbacks again also.  They are trying to prevent getting swept also.  One trend I like is the Dbacks are 5-0 last 5 times in game 3 of a series.

Big Unit 4-4 -35$

PHI Phillies +106

SD Padres +137

AZ Dbacks +128

Get Some!

washhead 5-8-1 -350$

MIN Twins +120

Under 8.0 CHI White Sox - MIN Twins -110

Floyd has struggled this season, and historically he struggles against the Twins.  Mauer eats him alive.  Scott Diamond should be better in his second start, Gardenhire left him in a little too long in his first start coming off injury.  If the bullpen can carry it home the Twins should be all good. 

These are two of the lower scoring teams in MLB.  Yesterday the weather kept the bats cool, and it's another chilly day in Chicago.  The wind is blowing in from right, which usually means an under at US Cellular.

KCsFinest829 24-28 -415$

BAL Orioles ML -122

I like betting on Baltimore when Arrieta pitches. Inconsistency from the Dodgers lineup with a new pitcher out there. Just can't see the Dodgers putting up too many,

KC Royals G2 ML +128

Sorry if my formatting is off a bit not sure how you wanted to denote the 2nd game of the double header. Guthrie is an innings eater for KC this year and I like them to take at least one of them today. This one looks better to me.

SEA Mariners ML +149

Seattle hasn't scored in this series yet, I like them to come out motivated and put up some runs today. I think it will be good enough for the win.

It is Westbrook (Who is pitching great) today for the cards.  but aside from that, HOW on earth has wainwright not impressed you lately?  3-1, 1.07 whip --> he hasn't walked a single batter while striking out 28 in 29 innings pitched!  Any reasoning?

Seems like a lot of juice to lay against a team's best part of their order...  I always felt like these first inning bets were mostly coin flips.  And beware of the Jays, they are giving up first inning runs like crazy this year!

ATL Braves ML -168

SF Giants ML -138

MIL Brewers ML -136

braves, as been said juice is high, but it's jonathon sanchez i will ALWAYS fade jonathon.. braves aren't scoring enough for me to be confident in 1.5 but i trust medlen to win this one for me.

bring out the brooms, giants are going to sweep this one, zito is just fine! he always struggles @ milwaukee, nothing new. he does much better in friendly confines of SF and giants rip lefties.

brewers own the cubs.. simple as that, and can someone please teach the cubs the basic fundamentals of baseball? their truly pathetic to watch? scot feldman on the road? please!
