Hows a betting man supposed to make a quid or 2

33/1 for the World Series still has to be worth your couple of quid.

Thats where i fall down, not sure of the pitchers

It really does have a fair bit to do with the pitching. Linked to that, the manager will change players depending on who's pitching. Our manager wont play two of our lefty batters against lefty pitchers because they have a hard time with them. There's quite a bit of strategy and statistics involved. There's always an element of luck too, plus these teams play pretty much every day. Some days they perform better than others.

Betting day to day is a minefield and 3-0 stretches (especially on the road) do not happen as often as you might expect. I guess things will settle down and the cream will rise to the top but hopefully not as I'm on a few outsiders to win their Divisions and hopefully one of them can go all the way.

After the All Star break is when the good teams really start to show up.
