Sorry about that suggestion with Bobby Scales. I really thought he would have a hit.
But tomorow I am very confident he will get a hit. So tomorow:
Bobby Scales, ROY contender so far
Fernando Martinez, Jose Reyes' replacement
Brett Gardener, Yankees speedster.

An Unusual Pick

Bobby Scales, the rookie outfielder of the Chicago Cubs has been playing well lately. He is hitting for average and some power. You might want to think about him when choosing you Beat The Streak candidate. That's all, I just needed to update you with that.

Hit Streak

Jacoby Ellsbury goes 0-3 with a HBP. There goes the hit streak. And there go many Beat The Streaks. I'm sorry Jacoby. Has to end at some point. :(

Recommended Picks

Tomorow's suggested picks by me are Aaron Hill of the Blue Jays because he is having a great year batting average wise. He also has decent numbers against Tim Wakefield. Ty Wigginton is also a good pick, however that is only if he plays. His number against the "D-Train" are spectacular. The final choice is new Yankees first baseman: Mark Teixeira. The reason being is that he is batting .400 against Indians Starter Cliff Lee. He has also been on a tear lately so is almost bound to get a hit tomorow.
That raps it up for today.

Today's Picks

Many people today had a tough time chosing who to pick for beat the streak. The reason being is that there are only 5 games going on today. Many picks were Ellsbury, Crawford and Evan Longioria who already has a hit. However, the leader did not chose to go with a player from an early game. Rather, he chose to wait and see what Chipper Jones does at a 9:40 Eastern scheduled start.

Beat The Streak news

One question: Can you Beat The Streak?

Update

As you all probably know David Ortiz hit his first home run of the year yesterday. I do not think his "power" will be a trend. He is getting older and his wrist has not fully healed since the 2008 ALCS. Big Papi has and RBI tonight but we'll see what happens in the future. Beat the streak update. Recommended picks:
Hanley Ramirez: batting over .340 and facing Andy Sonnanstine
Joe Mauer: 3 hits today including a grand slam
Ryan Zimmerman: batting over .350 and facing pitcher Rich Hill.
If anyone is wondering my BTS is at 8 right now including today. My highest is 12 so far. Just letting you know.

Beat The Streak Update

Some recommded picks for tomorow are Ichiro and Jacoby Ellsbury. They both have double-digit hit streaks. Another idea is Cody Ross. He is playing well lately and is hitting like crazy.

Tomorow's Picks

There are not very many games going on tomorow so the picks may be difficult. I suggest picking the Red's Joey Votto. He is batting over .370 and hitting well. Another good pick is Ryan Garko. He may not have the best BA but his numbers are fantastic against Gavin Floyd

Beat The Streak

Today 2 long hit streaks came to an end with Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera both going hitless. Ryan Zimmerman is a very highly picked player so i say DON'T pick him because when his hit streak comes to an end, so will many BTS. Hanley Ramirez is in an 8 game hitting streak and on fire lately. Good pick.

Beat The Streak Update

Beat The Streak is starting to heat up because of Raul Ibanez and Ichiro, and the last one Ryan Zimmerman with his long hit streak.If you would like to know my BTS it is novahorns. My longest streak is 6. I will most likely get up to 15 this year. My last year high was 16. A plan I do is pick people who are on fire lately and not the people who qualify for kings at the plate because more often than not 2/3 players dont get hits. That is why I told you to pick Hanley Ramirez today because he is on fire.Result: 2 home runs

Tomorow's Picks

The good and wise picks for tomorow May 7. A good pick is the red hot Raul Ibanez. The reason being that he is batting over .345 and Mike Pelfrey has an opponent AVG. of .310. Another possible pick is Hanley Ramirez. He has been playing very well in the last few days and will most likely get a hit tomorow. And the last one is Cleveland rookie Matt LaPorta. Why: He is playing well facing Tim Wakefield who is due for a bad start.

Beat The Streak news

Yesterday, a lot of streaks came to an end on the result of picking Ichiro Suzuki. This was however a good choice because his lifetime numbers against Vicente Padilla were outstanding. But bj_hotfox_22 extended his hitting streak to 26 games by pickng the 2-6 Hunter Pence in a Suspended game vs. the Nationals. A lot of picks for today were teammates Carlos Beltran and David Wright of the Mets. We'll see what happens.
