Kansas City at Minnesota

These are the types of games that draw a lot of attention as the Kansas City Royals are the hottest team in baseball, having won eight straight games. So what exactly does that mean going forward? It means that the bandwagon is getting full, and with over 70% backing the Royals it is time to jump ship, and here is why. While most bettors love the hot hand, the reality dictates the contrary. Teams that have won eight or more straight games are 109-130 over the last 10 years with a -16.6% ROI when playing on them. Looking at teams that are specifically on an eight-game winning streak, they are 59-71 with an ROI of an even worse -17.9%. The odds get bigger to tackle, while the results simply don't measure up, so take Minnesota.
