Two comments, and I want to see your thoughts:

1) Throughout my playing career, every manager I ever had told me that double headers are 80% of the time split. And in my experience, that has definitely held true as I can only remember one or two times out of roughly 10 that the double header wasn't split regardless of the talent difference on each team. There are a few reasons for it one being concentration levels, two being law of averages, fatigue, team's willingness to not drop two on the same day, whatever. I don't have any solid concrete evidence to back this up as I am too lazy to look up stats. I am in no way trying to talk down your bet, because if you like both games, you like both games. I didn't have an opinion on those games personally so if you see something you like in both games, don't let my "non-opinion" stop you. There was one double header I remember earlier this year that was swept. Maybe a Cubs series? I just remember making a mental note of it because it was rare. Anyway, like I said, just a COMMENT I'd like to contribute, and nothing more.

2) I've been betting the dogs a lot lately. And for whatever reason, I've noticed a stupid trend. But whenever a line is about +150, that dog always seems to win way more times than not. I'm curious to see if that holds true again with your San Fran bet.

Best of luck again tonight.

I think that LAA will win both! Yes I usually bet 1 game then the other. You might see me come back on here and up my wager or switch it! Its all occording to the score in my mind! I do things psycological!!!!!!! On the giants, I think that astros are the worst team in baseball and if they are gonna give me +150 im taking it. It mat be 1-0 sf in the 10th but I will take it! Good luck Box!

Nice looking card C-LO. Hopefully they get both games done in Detroit. Showers and scattered T-storms is the forcast. good luck

Good luck man. . .great record so far.. . I know you are up more then 17 units on the season but that was before you started keeping track.


Plays look solid!

Jump on the Yankees back and let them carry you to the window man. . they are going to go on a tear! I said last week to watch out for them and they are on a 6 game winning streak

double headers

More doubleheaders are being swept than before. It used to be 50-50.The past three years (2002-2004),however only 32 out of 80 were split, or 40%.
