The Due Factor

My good friend since childhood, Jimmy Harrison, likes to cite "the due factor." For instance, if a guy comes to the plate in an 0-17 slump, Jimmy will think he'll get a hit because "he's due." It might be the right viewpoint since that guy likely will get another hit sometime. He won't go 0-for the rest of his career in all probability.
That brings me to tonight's Rockies-Diamondbacks game in Arizona. I don't even know what they call that monstrosity of a ballpark anymore.
The Rocks have been playing good ball, having won 8 of 11. The D-Backs have been playing like D-Bags having lost 10 in a row.
A confident Rockies fan might say, "Great, we play the Diamondbacks. They've lost 10-in a row! This will be easy."
The fan like Jimmy is likely saying, "Crap, the Diamondbacks have lost 10-in a row. They're due to get hot."
So while I believe in the due factor to a degree I am a bigger believer in the "team playing good baseball will likely win 2 of 3 or maybe sweep the team that can't get out of its own way" factor.
Meanwhile, in the previous post, I talked about Dave Trembley being fired by the Orioles. I wouldn't get too comfy if I were Arizona skipper A.J. Hinch. He could be the next to get wacked, especially if that losing streak continues to get uglier. Unless "the due factor" kicks in.
