Picks of the Day, 4/8
Anybody that tells you they are good at gambling is full of crap. Somehow, I managed to go 0-3 yesterday, and I’m now 7-13 on the season. Good news is, I’ve done pretty well this week with basketball, and hockey…which doesn’t help me here.If you bet on KC beating San Fran 3-1 at the Giants […]

Picks of the Day, 4/7
2-1 yesterday, for a nice change. Freddie Freeman covered his total bases early, and the 11 run line in Colorado came way, way, under. Unfortunately the pitchers duel in Atlanta didn’t materialize. Strider was ok, but Snell had a rough start, and they went over the 8.5 run line in the top of the eighth […]

Wrapping Up Atlanta’s Series in St. Louis
Three games on the road versus a playoff team. A 5-1 start to the season is always a good thing. Not to take the shine off a great series, but it sure looked as if Cardinals players have quit on manager Oliver Marmol. Marmol publicly called out Tyler O’Neill’s hustle in game two and benched […]

Picks of the Day, 4/6

Best game of the year so […]

Picks of the Day, 4/4
A third consecutive 1-2 day. Houston and Cleveland losing to the two worst teams in baseball is tough. Good news is, my reach pick hit at +468 to save the day when Mike Yastrzemski homered. Sitting at 3-6 now, and taking a conservative approach today to get back on track. Pick#1Yankees -1.5 over Phillies, +130 […]

Wrapping Up the Braves’ First Series
The first couple of series of a season are always a crapshoot. Eventual World Series Champs have been swept, and last-place teams often surprise with a series win. Often, the weather in many cities is awful, pitchers are typically on a pitch count, and batters still don’t have their timing down. Rookies are a bundle […]

Picks of the Day 4/3
Not a great weekend. 1-2 Sunday again. Clevinger was better than expected, and of course the Rangers and Phillies, who had scored 37 runs in the first 2 games, scored 3 yesterday. It’s a new week and time to get on a roll after a 2-4 start to the season. Pick #1 Houston -1.5 over […]

Picks of the Day, 4/2
Rough start! 1-2 on the picks, and the reach didn’t hit either. However, I was about a foot from the Castellanos Homerun that would have covered the Philly over, and hit the reach pick. Good thing it’s a marathon, not a sprint…. Here’s my Sunday’s best: Pick #1 Orioles @ Redsox 1:10pm, Total Runs Over […]
