Yes, Glenn is American, but can I answer too?

Rabbitz, they do tend to play the same team 3 or 4 days in a row. As for the different results, a large part of that comes down to who's pitching. Each team has quite a few pitchers in their squad and they don't play 2 days running. Some pitchers are vastly superior to others, but all of the pitchers in the team get a run at some stage or other. So one day, a team might be using their number 1 pitcher who's one of the best in the competition and has a high winning strike rate. The next day, they might give one of their inexperienced rookie pitchers a go and he won't be able to perform at the same level.

Take a look at the stats on this page. If you go down to the 'Wins' and 'ERA' sections that will tell you who the best pitchers are.

Now you can look at the team schedules to find out which pitchers are playing and what their Win/Loss ratio and ERA is like:

When I bet on the MLB, I usually stick to the strong teams playing at home and using one of the comp's leading pitchers. As you'd expect, the odds aren't always flash, but the strike rate is pretty good.

Anyway, I hope all that helps! :smile:
