“Sir, I hope all is well. I’ve been reading The Post for 50 years. Always enjoy your column. I don’t gamble but I’m good at math and studying trends. Baseball is about 90 percent pitching. The better pitcher usually wins. The most important trend is how the pitcher has performed in his past three starts. The lower ERA, the better the selection. Teams also have winning/losing streaks. With this in mind don’t ever bet against a team that has won three or more in a row and never bet on a team that has lost three or more in a row. Good luck. Hope this helps.” — Roger Erker

All makes sense except for that first word. “Sir” Stitches?

We will, however, buck the trend.

Colorado, losers of six straight, is in Detroit, and Rockies rookie Gabriel Hughes is 0-7.

Jackson Jobe goes for the Tiger.

Bet $50 on the road dog Rockies (+130, FanDuel).

Busy afternoon at McCovey Cove.

The Giants hit four homers.

The Padres hit two, but San Diego won 7-6.

The one and only Stitches has been handicapping baseball, daily, for the Post since 2019. Miraculously, he has finished in the black twice. But wait there’s more. He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year.
