how does everyone 'cap' their 57 game hit streak?

[funkbunker2]

just curious of the methods people use to do this. I, for instance, have Todd Helton in tomorrows game(goin for 8 in a row) and use this:

1) Helton 3 yr avg. @ home: .372
2) 3 yr avg vs. Righties: .352
3) career vs. pitcher: 2 for 2 (1.000)
4) current & last 7 days avg: .370/.333


thoughts/tips/suggestions??

just look for games that you expect a ton of runs, although sometimes you may get unlucky with the hitter that doesnt join the run party

i do that as well. I hitter could somethin like 14-29 against a guy in his career, but if i dont see alot of runs bein scored, i dont imagine him gettin more than 3 AB's so i might not pick him. Also, guys like Giambi who have good BA's but draw so many walks are scary, cause they could go 0-1, 3BB.

yeah, that's why go for a player you know isn't a major threat when bases are juiced. I stay away from pitcher friendly parks.

I Try To Take A Road Team Player Usually A 1 Thru 3 Hitter Because They Will Usually Get 4 Abs And Sometimes Even A 5th One Because No Matter The Score They Will Always Hit For 9 Innings.I Don't Do This All The Time But I Look For Them First.

where do u get this type of info? about career vs pitcher etc?

I try to pick games that will have lots of runs and also try to pick a serious where a good batter will get a hit in every game against bad pitching. For example I just took Jeter the Cheater in the last 3 matches vs KC

go to espn.com, click on the players name, then splits, then 2002-2005 stats and it lists everything from home/away/night/day/turf/grass/dome/etc....

right next to splits, theres 'batter vs pitcher', and you can see his lifetime stats vs. the entire teams pitchers.

look for ur best bet and take the best batter of that team , or always look thru the guys that gave .300 up

i tried that today with pujols and he walked twice...I usually pick a hot hitter who is at home. I dont think i have chosen a hitter past the 5 spot this season. I usually check the batter v pitcher avg..
