Bedard's capable, but has a 6.09 ERA so far. Baltimore's lost 9 of 10, Cleveland's won 9 of 10. Very puzzling.

Seriously.... win/lose streaks are overrated in baseball. You gotta cap each game individually. I've actually had much success betting against streaks.

Bedard is a good SP, Byrd isn't all that, especially on the road.
byrd's only loss was by 1 run on the road, bedard has one home loss and cleveland just beat the orioles 7-4 last week, bedard had a nd that game. i got cleveland ml and the o9.5

cleveland's last two streaks were 6 and currently at 4, with one loss between. if you chased either of those half way through you would make more betting with than against.

Funny you should mention that.... I actually bet against Cleveland the one game that they lost. I just have an uncanny ability to know when to fade a hot team.

you go with streaks and not against them, that way you can win alot and only lose once

That's what these people tried to do with Cleveland and went 0-2. If you think riding a streak will make you money in the long run, then you don't know baseball.

Correct.
If you faded the Yankees last week during that five game losing streak, you would have made a shitload.
NY was favored 4 times, as much as -210.
Do the math.

Unless the streak continues for quite a long while, it's not profitable to do so.

How about that Oriole streak in the 80's when they lost 20 + straight.

It's called an anomaly. Notice it hasn't happened again in almost 20 years. Unless it happens every year you'll end up making little or no money betting streaks, and even lose money depending on what you consider a "streak".
