August 15th pick results:
Vaasan P. Result- Won draw 1-1
I took down this game. But Manchester City- Won 4-0
Atlanta Braves Result- Won 5-4
Texas Rangers Result- Won 8-4
Todays record 4-0 Overall record for the month 21-2
I backed out of the Man City game and missed Texas by 1 minute. In case you were wondering why I didnt pick them in my entry.
Most of tomorrow's picks don't look as good as they have the last few days. I will only have a couple I will put up for now. I may have more in the morning though.
Possible Pick: Atlanta Braves (writeup pending)
Pick #1 St. Louis Cardinals
St. Louis (65-57, 33-30 away) go on the road to face the Pittsburg Pirates (57-63, 27-32 home) tomorrow night. St. Louis' batting way outweights the success of the Pirates batting. St. Louis ranks 4th in runs, 3rd in batting average, 3rd on base and 4th in slugging %. The Pirates rank 27th in runs, 26th in batting average, 26th on base and 28th in slugging. The pitching matchup is about the same. Chris Carpenter will get the start for the cardinals. With his 3.68 ERA, 8-8 record, 132 strikeouts and a 1.34 WHIP, he compares closely with the Pirates Jeff Karstens. Who has a 3.04 ERA, 9-6 record, 80 strikeouts and a 1.14 WHIP. I would definitely say the Pirates have a very slight advantage in tomorrows pitching. But with the Cardinals better batting and better away-home record, I think they take this in a close game.
Pick #2 Texas Rangers
Similar to yesterdays post (look back at batting comparison), the Angels will host Texas yet again. The difference is that both teams will be starting fairly poor pitchers. Texas will bring out Derek Holland. He has a 4.3 ERA, 10-4 record, 111 strikeouts and a 1.41 WHIP. The Angels will start Tyler Chatwood. Who will bring his 4.07 ERA, 6-8 record, 67 strikeouts and a 1.55 WHIP. However, I like Holland slightly better. He (Holland) is more of a strikeout pitcher even with that kind of ERA and is averaging twice as many strikeouts per game than Chatwood. Also he has a better record and slightly lower WHIP.
More in the morning. Good night everyone

August 15th picks/lookback on day (Post is still being updated)
August 14th pick Results:
West Brom W/D/Lose by 1 Result- Won (lost 2-1)
LA Angels Result- Loss 5-4
Texas Rangers Result- Won 7-6
St. Louis Cardinals Result- Won 6-2
Record 3-1 on the day, 17-2 on the month (since August 10th)
Possible Picks (but can't guarantee)
Possible Pick #1 Vaasan P. win, draw, lose by 1
This is a tough one. I wont be guaranteeing this game or Manchester City as much as I can Atlanta or Texas. But here is my best prediction. VPS tied inter turku and JJK who are higher in the league than FC Honka. They were both at home though. However VPS has had a decent away record considering how mediocre (well almost bad really) their team is (1-2-2 in the last 5 away games). They also played the top team and lost 3-0 on the road while FC Honka only lost by 1. Last year they lost to Honka 3-1 and this year they drew Honka 1-1. Both games were at home. With this game on the road I for sure dont expect them to win. But with some luck I can see them easily drawing or losing by 1. That's only with luck though. It could go either way.
Possible pick #2 Manchester City
Pick # 1- Atlanta Braves
Atlanta (70-51, 35-24 at home) will be hosting the Giants (66-55, 31-30 away) tomorrow night. The Giants batting has been pretty modest all season, yet they have been able to win games due to great pitching. The Giants stats for batting; 29th in runs, 27th batting average, 29th on base, 27th in slug %. Atlanta has been similar to the Giants in some ways. Winning games with modest batting and good pitching. Atlanta stats for batting; 16th in runs, 22nd in batting average, 21st on base and 16th in slugging%. Atlanta will be starting Tim Hudson on the mound tomorrow. Posting a 3.18 ER, 12-7 record, 113 strikeouts and a 1.09 WHIP. The Giants will be starting Madison Bumgarner at pitcher tomorrow. His stats; 3.53 ERA, 7-11 record, 134 strikeouts and 1.25 WHIP. Both pitchers in my opinion are pretty equal. To me what give Atlanta the advantage is their batting and homefeild advantage. Atlanta FTW (more like "For the Green")
Pick #2 Texas Rangers-
Is this really an option? The Angels will start an 0-1 pitcher who posted a 10.80 ERA in his last and only start against New York (Garrett Richards). Also Texas has much better bats at the plate and will be starting Alexi Ogando who posts a 3.22 ERA. All you need to know. Enough said.
Thats all for today. Check back later tonight for my August 16 picks

Tonights post is going to be short. I had some trouble getting home tonight and I can barely see straight I am so tired. But I will give you an overview of a couple picks I really like. Lets get to it...
The Picks:
Pick #1 West Brom
I am so sorry I didn't get this up in time. No internet this morning. I went with West Brom on my streakhelper entry. Hopefully you dont't let the name Man U trick you. In previous matches West Brom drew to Man U on the road and lost afterward 2-1. With them being at home, I don't see why they can't lose by just 1 as they have in the past.
Pick #2 Angels (there is an aweful delay with my phone to write about this game. Also its hard to write posts through a mobile phone as well. I picked LA though). I originally had this as a "possible pick". But the more I looked the more I liked it. Toronto caught some huge breaks at the end. Should have kept it as a"possible pick".
Pick #3 Texas Rangers
Texas looks good. Top 5 everything in batting; 3rd in runs, 2nd BA, 5th on base and 2nd in slug %. The A's are 21st in runs, 24th ba, 20th on base and 24th in slugging %. Also Texas has a slightly better pitcher with Matt hardison. Who posts a 3.06 ERA, is 10-8 with 89 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.25. vs. the A's pitcher, Rich Harden (4.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 3-2, 45 strikeouts).
Pick #4 St. Louis Cardinals-
St Louis is 31-27 at home, 4th in runs, 3rd in their batting average, 3rd on base and 5th in slugging%. Colorado is 28-34 on the road, 12th in ba, 8th in runs, 7th on base and 11th slugging percentage. St. Louis will be starting Esmil Rogers on the mound. Even with his 6-1 record, he has an ironically bad ERA. He posts a 5.85 ERA, 32 strikeouts and a 1.73 WHIP. St Louis will be starting Edwin Jackson, who is less than spectacular as well. Posting a 4.07 ERA, 8-8 record, 109 strikeouts, 1.45 WHIP. Two pretty high-base giving pitchers. look for a high scoring affair. I think the Cardinals will pull this out though, with the slight batting and pitching advantage.
I will have more in a couple hours. Sorry such a late post

August 13 Picks/lookback at day
Please email me for anything, questions comments, hatemail... anything at streakhelp@yahoo.com
August 12th picks.
Cleveland Indians Result- Won 3-2
Yes. Dan Uggla gets a hit Result- Won Yes
Arizona Diamondbacks Result- Won 4-3
Boston Red Sox Result- Won 6-4
Record for day 4-0
Record since it began August 10th 11-0
All in all a decent day. Today I'm not writing a "lookback" summary on today's picks. Mainly because I want to save some time tonight and just jump straight in. Also, I started late writing tonight's post.
The Picks: Lets take a look...
Possible pick VfB Stuttgart W/D
I cant guarantee this one, but this seems like a good pick to me. Borussia has only won 1 out of 26 meetings. Stuttgart won lasts year by 1 and also beat them at home 7-0. I'm done, just trust me, this should be a decent pick.
Pick #1 Boston... again
Similar scenario to last time they played. Boston ranks 1st in runs, batting average, on base and slugging percentage. Mariners rank 30th in runs, batting average, on base and slugging percentage. Also, they will be at home again. Here are some pitching mix-ups. King Felix will lead the Mariners at the mound with his 3.31 ERA, 10-10 record, 174 strikeouts and 1.18 WHIP. No doubt Seattle will have a pretty good pitcher tomorrow. However Boston will start their best pitcher in Josh Beckett. His pitching is ridiculous; posting a 2.17 ERA, 9-4 record, 127 strikeouts and 0.94 Whip. You read that right folks, 2.17 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. If this isn't a good pick I dont know what is. Boston, probably the best team in the MLB (ranks wised) will have their best on the field and should be firing on all cylinders tomorrow. Even if they lose and you lose a big streak, there is not a much better way to go down.
Pick #2 Colorado Rapids W/D
Another fantastic prop. If I could choose Boston and San Jose, that would make me a happy man for sure. Unfortunately Streakmaster is going to make you choose... Here's what Colorado has on their side.
1. Colorado has a better table rank than San Jose.
2. Colorado has a better record (9 wins, 10 draws, 6 loses) vs San Jose (5 wins,10 draws, 8 loses)
3. Colorado has scored more goals this season. Colorado (37) San Jose (25)
4. Colorado has a better goal difference. Colorado (+4) San Jose (-4)
How did Colorado get the draw option? My only answer is San Jose is at home. I would go Colorado hands down.
I'll write more tomorrow. Its Friday night. I want to chill out
