I've done very well in inter-league games in the past by following some rules I've developed from tracking IL games over a period of time. Here's what I find helps me.
Team that wins game 1 wins the series. This didn't hold up as well last year as in the past but still bears paying attention to.
Favs dominate IL play. This is bad news for you dog players. Home favs first, road favs next. It's not un-common to see the favs go 13-1. A really bad night is 9-5.
Totals work out about even. You might see something like 25-13 over in one series and just the opposite in the next.
I thought the AL would be at a dis-advantage in NL parks because of the dh but found that some of the AL pitchers can hit better than the dh.
In game one I look at home favs first, road favs second and don't waste my time trying to find a dog.
Game 2, I might consider a home dog that won the first game as a fav but even then the odds are against you. As I said, 9-5 is really bad for the favs.
Game 3. I start with the home team that won game 1 but lost game 2 and is favored. Even tho this dropped from 70 + per cent in the past to just above 50% last year, I will stick with what got me there.
By incorporating this with what I normally do, I should come out just fine. Hopefully this will help some of you that didn't do well last year have a little more success.
As in the past, I'll try to keep a running total on how each series progresses.
Good luck to us all.
