The Beach Ball Factor in Baseball

Is momentum important in baseball ?

Yes, it is very important. Each team will play 162 games. You will see that every team from the best to the worst is going to have winning streaks and losing streaks. Good hitting and good pitching are contagious.

Betting on an underdog that has been on a winning streak is one of my favorite plays. Bob McCune taught me to never get in the way of a winning or a losing streak in baseball. Regardless of the team, sometimes the hitters collectively will be seeing Beach Balls and sometimes they will be seeing BB guns come to the plate.

The best way to look at these opportunities is to focus of recent performance. What happened one or two months ago does not matter. What does matter, is what has a team done lately. Forget about statistics for the full season, what happened last week is much more important.
