A new must-watch pitcher has me feeling like it's 1998 Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images

Must-Watch TV

I’m trying to think of all the must-watch players of my lifetime. I’m 45, and my very first baseball memories are of the early to mid-80s Red Sox. Of course, Roger Clemens was the must-watch guy then; 20 win seasons, Cy Youngs, an MVP season, the big, mean stare over the glove, the nickname “Rocket”, […]

Picks of the Day, 4/18

Sometimes the Baseball Gods don’t play along; 1-2 yesterday because DeGrom was pulled from a no-hitter after 4 innings, and didn’t record 9 Ks; and Shohei only went 2 innings because of rain delays. To top off a turd of a day, the Phillies were rained out, so the Schwarber HR pick was voided.25-25 on […]

Braves Series in Review: Royals

What a great response to a lackluster San Diego series…complete domination of two bad teams and a six-game win streak to push the record to 12-4, the second-best record in MLB. The next three weeks are the true test of what this team is: Three games in San Diego, three at home vs. the Astros, […]

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, 4/15

One week ago today I said I would be above .500 after a rough start to the season. Happy to say, after a 3-0 day yesterday, I am at 22-19. Anthony Rendon tried his hardest to get the over at Fenway, but even 4 unearned runs couldn’t blow the under for me. The Mets went […]

Braves series in review: Reds

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 […]

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/12

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 […]

Braves, Padres series wrap-up

Well, it’s not great. The injuries are starting to catch up with this team. After winning game one, of the four game set, with a walk-off in the 9th, the Braves were outscored 19-7 in the last three games. Fortunately, thanks to a hot start, they still sit at 7-4. Spencer Strider wasn’t bad in […]

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 […]
