Picks of the Day, 4/19

1-2 yesterday, 26-27 on the season. It appears my hot streak is over. Had the twin -.5 through 5 innings and of course Chris Sale had his best start since 2019. And, missed the over in NY by a run because the Yankees bats couldn’t get to Angels legend, Jose Saurez. Happy Hump Day:Pick #1 […]
