E-Rod has had a solid start for the Tigers. He squares off today with Justin Verlander, who is making his Mets debut

Picks of the Day, 5/4

I am having a rough week. Another 1-2 day yesterday, so I’m looking for three easy wins today. I was totally unaware that the Mets are so bad, I just figured injuries are taking their toll, but man does that lineup stink. I also had the over in the Yankees game because: Clarke Schmidt…but the […]

Shane Bieber toes the rubber for the Guardians tonight. Look for him Marcus Stroman, and Max Scherzer to win today. Ken Blaze-USA Today

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 […]

Padres Left-Handed Pitch Blake Snell Mid-Wind Up Set to Deliver Next Pitch
Snell has been less than sharp this year. Hopefully he doesn't figure it out today.

Picks of the Day, 5/1

Not a bad Sunday. 2-1 on the picks. Sonny Gray getting the win was easy money. Royals and Twins Over hit late. And, of course, I had Alex Cobb allowing the first earned run, and Yu Darvish promptly allowed a homerun on the second pitch of the game. Not too many games today to choose […]

Marcus Stroman faces the Marlins in Miami today. I expect a strong performance.

Picks of the Day, 4/28

Even when I lose, I win. For only the second time this season, all three of my picks lost yesterday, and lost big. But, because I picked Brett Baty to hit his first home run at +650, I still ended up 3.5 units up for the day. 42-37 on the season. Be aware of lots […]

One Rookie of the Year Candidate from Every Team

The 2022 season saw some historic campaigns from its rookie class, including, but not limited to, Julio Rodriguez, Adley Rutschman, Michael Harris, and Spencer Strider. As we soon enter the second month of the 2023 season, we have already seen some of MLB’s most prized prospects make their way to the majors, as well as […]

Flame throwing Mason Miller makes his debut today for the A's. He may be the real deal, but after only 28 MiLB innings, is he ready to beat the Cubs today? Melissa Lockard- The Athletic

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 […]

I need Shane Bieber to be Shane Bieber today versus Patrick Corbin and the Nationals Ken Blaze- USA TODAY

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 […]

Can I jinx the 10-0 Rays? Ivy Ceballo/ TB Times

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 […]

Oneil Cruz doesn't know how to slide, and now a bad Pirates team has lost their star shortstop. Take advantage of the downtrodden Bucs today. Gene Puskar/AP

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 […]

As a scorned Red Sox fan, I know that Eovaldi's first start was a fluke. Betting on a lot of runs today in Chicago.

Picks of the Day, 4/7

2-1 yesterday, for a nice change. Freddie Freeman covered his total bases early, and the 11 run line in Colorado came way, way, under. Unfortunately the pitchers duel in Atlanta didn’t materialize. Strider was ok, but Snell had a rough start, and they went over the 8.5 run line in the top of the eighth […]
