One ‘Sleeper’ All-Star Pick from Every AL Team
The MLB All-Star game is mere weeks away, and with the event on the horizon, the AL and NL All-Star rosters will be announced before we know it (Sunday, July 2nd at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN). Being an MLB All-Star is a dream for most young baseball players, and although the big superstars will […]

Another day, another disappointing 2-1. I invested $300, and the payout was $397…so I made money and had fun, but losing $100 because Shane McClanahan left the game early with a back injury is frustrating as hell.Twins took care of business, as expected verse a minor leaguer that isn’t MLB ready, and the Padres stomped […]

Tough beat yesterday. The 10-run Under was a bust in the 4th inning of the Yanks and Sox game when the Red Sox opened up a 10-1 early lead. I also had Houck Over 5.5 strikeouts and he took a liner off the face and left the game. Oof.Rays took care of business, and I […]

Picks of the Day 6/7
Soooo close to another 3-0 day, but the Orioles blew the lead in the 8th and lost in 10 innings in Milwaukee. I can’t get too mad, my thinking was right. Musgrove helped me out by recording over 6.5 Ks for the first time all year, and A’s / Pirates Over hit very easily. 2-1 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
