Braves series in review: Reds

It seems like 5 minutes ago that the Braves were really from 3 straight losses to Padres. Sitting at 6-4, losing 3, and losing some key players to injury, Monday didn’t feel great. Then the Reds came to town…All three games were one-run wins, but it certainly didn’t feel like it. Even trailing late in […]

Randy Arozarena made me money early yesterday. Can Castellanos help me today?

Picks of the Day, 4/14

Another 2-1 day overshadowed by the fact that I have been hitting my reach picks almost every day! An Arozarena home run of Chris Sale in the 1st inning yesterday, meant I didn’t care what happened the rest of the day. I also had Springs under 17.5 outs recorded, and he left early with an […]

Ronaldo Hernandez will be the backup catcher in Worcester today, while the compensation the Sox received for him, looks to go 3-0 vs. the Sox Katie Morrison/Mass Live

Picks of the Day, 4/13

I’m not even mad that I went 1-2 yesterday with the picks because, I hit another reach pick at +600. Randy Arozarena took Chris Sale deep in the bottom of the first inning, and made me $600. On the down side, the Padres couldn’t score runs again, I think I’m done betting on San Diego […]

Picks of the Day, 4/12

Hallelujah! Finally a 3-0 day, AND I hit the AL East Parlay at +404. The Wesneski kid in Chicago played ball, and got knocked out in the 2nd inning, Shohei and DeGrom dealt, and the Jays made me sweat a bit but in the end, destroyed the Tigers. If you bet $100 on each of […]

Can I jinx the 10-0 Rays? Ivy Ceballo/ TB Times

Picks of the Day, 4/11

Three straight days going 2-1, and I’m on the comeback trail. 13-16 on the season. I should have picked the Guardians moneyline instead of the run line, but I got greedy. I don’t count the reach picks toward my record. So far I’ve had pretty good luck with them, but yesterday all three aces in […]

Oneil Cruz doesn't know how to slide, and now a bad Pirates team has lost their star shortstop. Take advantage of the downtrodden Bucs today. Gene Puskar/AP

Picks of the Day, 4/10

Thanks to an onslaught of late scoring and extras innings in Cleveland, I ended up 2-1 yesterday and improved to 11-15 on the season. Unfortunately for the Braves fan in me, Dylan Dodd looked awful iin Atlanta and my under pick missed by a mile. On the right track again, here we go Pick#1 Yankees […]

Uh-Oh....Joey learn how to putt...or hit a baseball. Gallo looks like the player that was an All Star with the Rangers. He has 5 hits on the season, and 3 of them are Home Runs. Can he take rookie Hunter Brown deep today? Peter Aiken- USA Today Sports

Picks of the Day, 4/9

I need a new name for these posts….Jim’s Pearls? Something with “diamond” in it? Diamond Jim’s Gems? Anyway, like Jesus, I rose from the dead yesterday. The Angels and Rays picked me up and The Braves Crucified me with their cold bats. 2-1 Yesterday, 9-14 on the season. Happy Masters Sunday to those who celebrate: […]

Betting against Jose Berrios today will hopefully get me back on track. Berrios has been well below average since coming to Toronto at the end of 2021 The Canadian Press

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 […]

As a scorned Red Sox fan, I know that Eovaldi's first start was a fluke. Betting on a lot of runs today in Chicago.

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 […]

Liam Hendriks Rings the ‘Victory Bell’

While the White Sox may be sitting below .500 at 2-3, an important win for the team came Wednesday morning, as closer Liam Hendriks celebrated being cancer-free after a five-month battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Hendriks, 34, began treatment on January 9th, 2023, with no set timetable of return. While there is still uncertainty as to […]
