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 […]

To top off a turd of a day, the Phillies were rained out, so the Schwarber HR pick was voided.25-25 on […]

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 […]
