Taking a little risk today and betting on Musgrove to do something he hasn't done yet this year.

Picks of the Day 6/6

Great way to come back from paternity and start a new week. 3-0 yesterday and none of them even threatened to lose. The Rays took care of a quickly regressing Red Sox team 4-1, and the Padres and Snell shut-out the Cubs 5-0…both unders hit. And the third pick was Philly -1.5 and they won […]

Picks of the Day, 5/24

I’m starting to hate baseball and I’m grateful I no longer live near Boston or I’d be standing on the Tobin right now, staring down and longing for the sweet release of the Mystic below.1-2 yesterday. I took the Sox moneyline because Bello has been excellent, and the Boston lineup has been a top 4 […]

Picks of the Day, 5/20

Not an awful day yesterday. 2-1 with the White Sox moneyline, and CLEV/NYM over hit easily. I also took the over in the Cards/Dodgers game, mostly because the Cardinals had scored 8.7 runs per game over their last 7 games…of course they were shut out and the over was a bust. I can’t get too […]

I am failing at trying to grow a Strider mustache. Also, he faces a Rangers lineup today that strikes out a lot

Picks of the Day, 5/17

Yesterday was one of those “I’m never betting again” days. I have no explanation for San Diego losing to Brady Singer and the 13-31 Royals, and Luis Castillo pitching like Nick Pivetta against Pivetta and the Red Sox. At least Houston and Chicago scored 10 and the over hit for me. Betting MLB has been […]

Picks of the Day, 5/15

A drunken start to the MLB season is starting to sober up. The Pirates are out of first and 2-8 in the last 10. The Yankees are starting to play better. The Rays are coming back to the pack a bit. The Phillies finally got to .500, and the Cardinals have now won 2 straight […]

Picks of the Day 5/3

Yesterday was a bloodbath. Twins -1.5 was a loser because Michael Friggin Kopech carried a one hitter into the 7th. Zac Gallen (Over 18.5 outs) was knocked out in the 6th by the Rangers. And, my reach pick, Shohei to hit a home run, didn’t even play. Thank goodness for Tanner Houck being forced to […]

Picks of the Day, 4/30

Betting on baseball when half the country is cold and wet is a pain in the ass. Strider was rained out in NY, Toronto won, and unfortunately the Pirates and Nats came up one run short for my over. 1-1 yesterday with a voided bet.This is the last Sunday I’ll do picks. I’ll be playing […]

Picks of the Day, 4/27

Another day, another slate of great picks. I went 2-1 yesterday AND the Bo Bichette Home Run at +600 hit. I’ve done incredibly well, on the “player X to hit a home run” props. Zac Gallen to record a win is free money at this point, and the Angels took care of business against the […]

Picks of the Day, 4/26

Not a bad day yesterday. 2-1 on the regular picks. The Diamondbacks left the winning run on 2nd in the ninth or that moneyline parlay would have hit. The Twins and Yanks Over 6.5 was an easy one. red Sox scored 7 early, but still had to sweat the over until Kaleb Ort came in, […]
