Picks of the Day, Tuesday 4/25

Another awesome day. 3-0 on the picks AND Gallo hit a home run, for a total of $640 winnings on the day. I am now 38-32 on the season, and have hit on 14 of 24 reach picks. One of these days I’ll track it all and figure out the return on investment.What’s really great, […]

Picks of the Day, 4/21

Not a bad Thursday with limited games. Went 2-1. Nestor recorded the win and Houck fanned over 5.5 hitters. The over on the Reds/pirates game looked great when Pittsburgh scored 4 in the 1st, but they ended up at 7 total and under 9. 31-28 on the season. Happy to have a full slate today:Pick […]

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, 4/16

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
