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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/18

Sometimes the Baseball Gods don’t play along; 1-2 yesterday because DeGrom was pulled from a no-hitter after 4 innings, and didn’t record 9 Ks; and Shohei only went 2 innings because of rain delays. To top off a turd of a day, the Phillies were rained out, so the Schwarber HR pick was voided.25-25 on […]

Braves Series in Review: Royals

What a great response to a lackluster San Diego series…complete domination of two bad teams and a six-game win streak to push the record to 12-4, the second-best record in MLB. The next three weeks are the true test of what this team is: Three games in San Diego, three at home vs. the Astros, […]

Picks of the Day, 4/16

Another 2-1 day, and another reach pick hit with the Andrew Rizzo 3rd inning home run. Braves easily cover -1.5 after a rain delay. Pirates and Cards made me sweat the over, but it hit in extra innings. A’s and Mets did not hit the over, which is stunning. Sitting at 24-20 now and I […]

Picks of the Day, 4/15

One week ago today I said I would be above .500 after a rough start to the season. Happy to say, after a 3-0 day yesterday, I am at 22-19. Anthony Rendon tried his hardest to get the over at Fenway, but even 4 unearned runs couldn’t blow the under for me. The Mets went […]
