Picks of the Day, 5/24

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 5/16

Is there anything more frustrating than taking the Under on a 10 run line, having a score of 2-0 through 5, then having a bullpen injury and implosion followed by a position player pitching, and missing the Under by one run?? Well, that’s what happened in Boston last night. A pitchers duel (that I correctly […]

Picks of the Day, 5/10

Another 2-1 Tuesday. The Padres took care of business and covered the run line, and the Cards and Cubs went over the total runs. I have under 10 in Atlanta because I thought the line was absurdly high, but Nick Pivetta allowed 4 runs in the first and the two teams went over 10 in […]

Picks of the Day, 5/5

I went 2-1 yesterday. I should have easily been 3-0. I had E-Rod over 4.5 strikeouts and that hit in 2.1 innings. I also has Orioles and Brewers -1.5 over two terrible teams. The Orioles got out to a 6-0 lead and I was ready to declare a win, when the Royals stormed back. At […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
