Randy Arozarena is overdue for a home run.

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 5/12

MLB is drunk this year. The White Sox, Mets, Cardinals, Yankees, and Phillies were all locks to be in the playoffs…and all suck. The Red Sox and Pirates are playing way over expectations. For that matter, so are the Rays. Even teams that looked bad on paper are playing with some pluck, like the Tigers, […]

Picks of the Day, 4/22

2-1 again yesterday. Tellez Home Run at +425 was huge. DBacks/Padres Under 9.5 hit, but man dis they make me sweat when Arizona scored 7 in the 8th inning. Pirates/Reds over looked good after Bucs scored four runs in the first, but somehow the game came in under.33-29 on the season, but almost more importantly, […]

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 4/3

Not a great weekend. 1-2 Sunday again. Clevinger was better than expected, and of course the Rangers and Phillies, who had scored 37 runs in the first 2 games, scored 3 yesterday. It’s a new week and time to get on a roll after a 2-4 start to the season. Pick #1 Houston -1.5 over […]

Picks of the Day, 4/2

Rough start! 1-2 on the picks, and the reach didn’t hit either. However, I was about a foot from the Castellanos Homerun that would have covered the Philly over, and hit the reach pick. Good thing it’s a marathon, not a sprint…. Here’s my Sunday’s best: Pick #1 Orioles @ Redsox 1:10pm, Total Runs Over […]
