Washington Nationals

Oakland Athletics

 

I understand the theory behind picking the Brewers, but there will be other chances to thin the herd that will have better odds than this. Especially if jays4life continues to kindly summarize the board's picks in his posts. Like, for instance, picking the Oakland Athletics who are home favorites. It will be funny if Grant ends up winning this after two games.

[TheHurl]

Single knock out sucks People may not make it to day 3.

 

I'll take the Nats, Rays

[jays4life19]

I am considering switching this to a double elimination format. Would people prefer that to single elimination?

Yes, tighten the elimination format as necessary later.

[jays4life19]

Alright I'll update the OP. Double Elimination it is.

[Candy Maldonado]

Switching from Brewers to Nats, thx

[jays4life19]

Done!

[spats]

Nats and A's

[Krylian]

Is there a tiebreaker? Just in case.

[jays4life19]

Is there a tiebreaker? Just in case.

 

If we somehow make it to the end the last game will have a couple tie breaking questions. There will only be a single winner so for example if there is 4 people left and they all get the game wrong they will all just move on instead of having multiple winners

[Carlos Danger]

Hello all.

 

As you may know long time super poster Tercet made hundreds of dollers in donations to the BJMB to support the community he loves so dearly (Special shutouts to Hurl, Spanky and BTS). Admin is now looking to share the love by putting on a post season contest and paying out a prize to the winner.

 

This contest will not be for the faint of heart. The dangers in participating are currently unknown but could include carpal tunnel syndrome. Tercet is a man of astute character and this contest will be a reflection of that and will only include family friendly gambling themes.

 

Okay, now let's get down to this. Each day you pick a team you think will win. If your team wins you move onto the next day. If you lose/miss your pick *twice* you're eliminated. Last man standing wins (TBD) the prize and is crowned the title of noble gambling man of the BJMB.

 

 

So let's get at it. Brewers vs Nats. who ya got?

 

Day 2: A's vs Rays. who ya got?

 

Nats: P2F, Z3r0s, Deadpool, Krylian, Laika, Bob, Orgfiller, JFL19, Condor, Bones ,L54, TCA, KevinGreg, Devo, Spanky, MikeM, Aintnothang, EZe, Boxcar, DickPole, Hurl, Jimmy. Candy, Spats

Brewers: Grant, Dogg, LTBF, TBJ12, GoldBull

 

Rays: P2F, Krylian, Laika, JFL19, Dogg, Condor, LTBF, Bones, L54, TCA, TBJ12, KevinGreg, Devo, Spanky, MikeM, Aintnothang, EZe, Hurl, Goldbull

A's: Z3r0s, Deadpool, Grant, Bob, Orgfiller, Candy, Boxcar, DickPole, Jimmy, Spats

 

**RULE UPDATE. Due to the immense popularity we are switching the format to a double elimination format. I feel this rule properly honours Tercet as he was once perma banned from the board but was given a second chance. Thus if you forget to pick or you choose the wrong side you will be given a second chance so you can blow it in the future just like our dear friend Tercet.***

 

*** Also if anyone wants to change their pick due to this exciting development you may do so****

 

So is there money involved in this or just bragging rights? I see $$ in the header but don't see anything about a pot wan't to know if I can just give it a shot or I need to fork over dinero?

You don't need to pay anything. The winner will get cash or something worth money.

Please.

[Abomination]

I'll take Nats and A's.

[Boxcar]

Why are so many people picking the Rays? Just wondering if I'm missing something. The A's are clearly a better team and at home.

My guess is the pitching matchup. Morton vs. whoever

 

The A's lineup is far superior though

The pitching was my reason for both games.

The A's will almost certainly be Montas or Manaea (or possibly both once through). Hard to bet against the Rays, but I don't think either team has a pitching advantage in this game, and the A's have a more potent offense.

Manaea, Luzardo and Hendriks have been damn good though, and they might be the three A's pitchers in the game.

Damn, I forgot about Montas, and he was really good last time out... Hmmm... must see the probables. I was thinking Fiers would start, totally forgot about the 2 M's.

[Orgfiller]

The Rays have the superior starter going in Uncle Charlie, so I understand people picking them. The Coliseum is gonna be incredibly loud though, and I agree with you that the A's are better, especially on offense and defense. On the other hand I can't see the Nats as anything but heavy favourites.

[Jimcanuck]

Manaea 4-0 with a 1.21 ERA and 0.78 WHIP, with 30 strikeouts against seven walks in 5 September starts

 

Sorry about the dinosaur stats, a c+p from NBC
