It seems like 5 minutes ago that the Braves were really from 3 straight losses to Padres. Sitting at 6-4, losing 3, and losing some key players to injury, Monday didn’t feel great. Then the Reds came to town…All three games were one-run wins, but it certainly didn’t feel like it. Even trailing late in […]

Picks of the Day, 4/14

Hallelujah! Finally a 3-0 day, AND I hit the AL East Parlay at +404. The Wesneski kid in Chicago played ball, and got knocked out in the 2nd inning, Shohei and DeGrom dealt, and the Jays made me sweat a bit but in the end, destroyed the Tigers. If you bet $100 on each of […]
