^^^^Don't do it....I picked him twice and he got no hits.


(Ok honestly once he didn't play and it didn't hurt me and the second time he pinch hit and went 0-1 to bust my streak but still...... Wink)

I went with Melky Cabrera today so we will see how that pans out.

Welcome to the fun Stroke and good luck!!!!

I wonder if we all pool our resources, maybe as a group we can come to a consensus to build a streak and share the grand prize...


I would be happy to share with you boys if we could knock out a winner.

I took Casey Kotchman against Bartolo Colon....It seems like when I take the Yankees in Streak for the cash they screw me, so I thought I'd pick against them!

It's funny...when I made my pick for Jacoby Ellsbury, I used a specific method where I sorted all MLB hitters by how many hits they've had in the last 7 days, then overlaid the batter-vs-pitcher history, and picked a hitter (Jacoby) who was currently hot and has a great record vs that pitcher (Guthrie). When I made that pick for the game, I noticed that Jacoby had the little oval icon next to his name, calling him the "MLB.com pick of the day." When I made my pick for tomorrow using the same method a few minutes ago, lining up Hanley Ramirez against Harang, sure enough...that is also the MLB.com pick of the day. So, at the very least, I guess I've figured out how they come up with their pick o' the day already. Grin

.545 5-year AVG vs. opposing starter

Hanley Ramirez
Florida Marlins
.391 5-year AVG vs. opposing starter

Paul Konerko
Chicago White Sox

Alberto Callaspo
Los Angeles Angels

I picked Nick Markakis today, because Andrew Miller's 0.303 BAA and Nick's 2nd-best-on-the-team BA.

So far he's 0 for 4.  Andrew Miller gave up 2 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Sad

I wonder if i can make a second pick for the night games to get back on the horse

and My ""I don't like to be just like everyone else.....and take the easy way out...."  is why I try not to take those picks...

(and also why I suck at this...) Cheesy

Melky went 2-4 last night with a dinger to keep me going.

I had Adrian today as well....I will take the 4-5 and keep my streak alive into tomorrow.

I usually pick my guess based on their success in recent times against their pitching foes. I spend very little time on it because I hate overthinking something that will most likely come down to luck anyways. I have picked a few of their picks of the day but not by using their list....just by well luck I guess.

I do not believe this to be the case. I tried this once before and it would only allow me 1 pick for the day even though it was an early game and was complete before 6 other games had started!!!!!

uh-oh...Travis Snider is 0 for 3 after 7 innings, and with Toronto holding a lead, it looks like he may not get another AB in this one. Doubly bummed, as I have Snider on more than a couple of fantasy squads as well.
