There are a lot of teams going for the 3 game sweep today.
Here is a summary of the same scenario for the last 3 years:
2010: 6 teams going for sweep, 1-5 (SF on road won, road team lost, PHI & STL, home teams lost ATL, PIT, TB)
2009: 6 teams going for sweep, 2-4 (FL & TX won at home, road team lost ATL & NYM, home team lost TOR & BAL)
2008: 4 teams going for sweep, 1-3 (KC won on road, road team lost MIL, home team lost LAD, CLE)
In summary there have been 16 chances for a team to sweep the 3 game 'open day' series, they were 4-12 25% win rate.
So, I am begging for trouble here, way too many plays but based on history it's hard to sweep the first 3 games.
There are 9 scenarios today, but I am throwing out PHI/HOU as HOU has been swept last year and have really stumbled out of the blocks the last 3 years (2-5 in 08, 1-7 in 09, and 0-8 last year)
Here are the 9 teams going for the sweep:
BAL
NYY
TOR
CWS
SEA
TX
PHI
CIN
SD
Going opposite and playing:
TB -120
DET +150
MIN +115
CLE +115
OAK -180 (yikes, lot of chalk)
BOS -150
MIL +110
STL -160
Shoot for the moon and parlay those 8 with PHI and then parlay those 9 with PIT/Cubs O 12.5 as the wind is blowing out towards left to left field foul pole at 20mph for the game.
