It looks like they've fixed Beat the Streak

It says my current streak is still 3, so it seems the rainout did not impact me, as should be the case, especially with a rainout.

Cano lead off with a hit against Seo today, so my streak is now 4.

There goes the streak...

I thought Cano vs. Jae Seo was about as much a lock as you can get. Lefties batted over .300 against Seo last season, Cano batted .368 vs. righties, he never walks.

But I forgot to look at the stupid weather report. The game got rained out. My streak is dead.

Beat the Streak

I decided to play Beat the Streak again on MLB.com. I was miserable when I tried it last season. After I got up to about 8 games the player I chose sat out with a stomach virus, so I lost my streak. Got a hit the next night. The next day my player chosen sat out again, and the next night the guy I chose went 0-for-4. So not getting a hit 3 of 4 nights, I gave up.

The all-time Beat the Streak Leader is only at 43. Nobody has come close.

Game 1 I chose Jose Reyes, having only the ability to chose Mets or Cardinals. All of the Mets' starters had a hit (even Glavine) by the 9th except for Reyes. He got a hit in the 9th though, as I was fortunate the Mets were playing on the road.

Game 2, I forgot who I chose that day, I thought it wasn't a Yankee with it being Kazmir on the mound, but turns out it was. I had decided since all team's were facing opening day starters, I may as well choose Jeter, as I just didn't imagine him taking an 0fer on opening day. So that got my streak up to 2.

Game 3, I originally took Matt Holliday, againt Livan Hernandez. Then when I went to look at my selections, I saw how great a history Todd Helton had against Livan, and Holliday didn't so I changed it. By game time I was wishing I hadn't, thinking Helton walks too much.

Sure enough, in the first inning Holliday gets a hit and Helton walks. Helton walked twice during the game, and didn't get a hit off Livan. The game went to extra innings and that was fortunate for me, as Todd Helton got a hit in the 11th inning.
