Picks of the Day, 7/18

2-1 yesterday, but made decent money because, Shohei to hit a Home Run, hit at +235. Dodgers Orioles covered the high 9.5 Over at -105. And, the one loss, was The Red Sox and A’s who couldn’t get over the 8.5 line because the A’s lineup only mustered one damn hit off the Sox bullpen.Still; […]

Picks of the Day, Monday 7/17

Saturday wasn’t much fun. Stroman, you strikes out 4+ almost every start, decided to pitch to contact because the Cubs had a big lead. In Toronto, Zac Gallen lost to a Blue Jays team that is starting to show some life. I knew this was a possibility, but DBacks were +115 with their Ace on […]

Picks of the Day, Saturday 7/8

2-1 Friday. The Padres and Mets went Over as expected, Gallen recorded the win for a DBacks team in need of one, but unfortunately for me, Jameson Taillon had the best game of his career. Taillon managed to throw 8 shutout, 1-hit, innings and the Cubs beat the Yankees 3-0, and nowhere near the Over. […]

Picks of the Day, Friday 7/7

Well, what a brutal and wild day yesterday. I took the over (8.5) on the Berrios vs. Lynn game. Two guys that have been Average to Terrible for two seasons. Both pitchers threw 7, 1-hit, shutout innings, and the game was tied 0-0 after ten innings. Then the Jays scored six runs in the 11th, […]

Jose Berrios has pitched to an 8-5 record with a 3.60 ERA. Tonight he hosts a Red Sox lineup that scored 3 runs while being swept by the Marlins at home.

Picks of the Day, 6/30

Not too shabby yesterday. The theories behind the picks were solid. Kye Hendricks Over 3.5 strike outs seem like a low number, and he barely made it with 4, but he has been dealing and most teams strike out 7-9 times per game. The Rays bludgeoned the DBacks the day after losing. Aside from the […]

Picks of the Day, 6/28

The Red Sox stink. Not only do they stink, but they legitimately quit playing when they get down by a few runs. They are on my no-bet list for a while with the Mets and Cardinals.Shohei Ohtani saved my day. Angels run line hit, and he hit 2 home runs while striking out 10. You […]
