Yankees team mojo for August 24:

HK,

     Following up on your response to my post in your baseball forum thread yesterday,

So, for the sake of projecting performance on a given day, is there any difference between B-/C-, B-/C+, and plain B-? Which, if any, is better for a given day, if so, by much? Also, using the example of the charts of Aug. 16 - 22, most of the slash-ratngs start with B-, (with one A-/B+ - Kevin Correia on Aug.21, and one C-/D- - Livan Hernandez on Aug. 18), and most of the B-s are followed by a slash. Any explanation for this?

                                                 Thanks.

Stew Baker - 

Dempster is coming off a quality start in which he gave up 2 earned-runs against the Braves. He has a bad rating tonight.

Marquis has been bad the whole season. That just means he'll have a spot where he can be better than expected. 

Baseball is about picking spots. Tonight is a good day to cheer for the walk-machine known as Marquis. And whereas most people will look at his overall numbers and pass up on the game, i look to my mojo chartsand find value on the home team.

Two fundamental handicapping theories also apply to fading Dempster in this matchup. I don't have the exact numbers but the Cubs are well below .500 in a Dempster game following a quality start by him. And you don't want to bet on Demspter after he's thrown more than 7 innings. Over the past 3 seasons, the Cubs are 1-8 in a game after Dempster throws more than 7 innings in his previous start.

So if even an optimal bio of A-/B+ has bad aspects, then everyone on their best bio days must have bad aspects, no? And when there is one or more underscores in a profile, that means the bad aspects that do exist are more prominent than normal?

Pick: Mets

Yes. A pitcher can pitch well and be unlucky. These types of aspects can produce a low-scoring game. When both pitchers have those types of ratings, you can expect such a game. For example, i usually lean on playing the Under when both pitchers have B+ ratings.

On the other hand, i usually lean on playing the Under when both pitchers have C- ratings.

Two prime examplesfrom yesterday:

Question: And when there is one or more underscores in a profile, that means the bad aspects that do exist are more prominent than normal?

Answer: Not necessarily. But as i've stated before: Stay away from pitchers that have the SA, MA, SU & JU undercores.

SA = Saturn = status, career
JU = Jupiter = expansion, success
MA = energy, passion
SU = vitality

Talking about prominence i've found those 4 planets to have the most confluences in competitive sports.

For example, a pitcher with a bad Sun alignment (underscore _) will usually not pitch well or worse than his last time out.

A pitcher with a good Sun alignment (uptick ^) will usually pitch well or better than his last time out.

Here is a game we should keep an eye on for Thursday, August 26.

FLA: Anibal Sánchez C- maybe
NYM: Jonathon Niese C+ ^VE*UR ^ME*VE ^SU&SU ^SUtNE good

Anibal Sánchez has a minor good aligment that may or may not have an impact on his performace.

Jonathon Niese have 4 good aligments. I expect him to do very well tonight.

I made a 1.5 units play in the Mets.

Thanks. That helps.

Well. The Mets really sucked last night.

Looks like Anibal's minor good mojo trumped Jonathon's major good mojo. Or maybe the Mets' team mojo was low.
