Picks of the Day 5/13
2-1 yesterday. Strider annihilated the 8.5 strikeout line. He is so fun to watch, and the scary part is, he’s still developing. Kopech also got over his 4.5 Ks. The miss was MacKenzie Gore over 17.5 outs. Gore pitched a good game, 4 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, no runs, but somehow ran his pitch […]

Picks of the Day, 5/12
MLB is drunk this year. The White Sox, Mets, Cardinals, Yankees, and Phillies were all locks to be in the playoffs…and all suck. The Red Sox and Pirates are playing way over expectations. For that matter, so are the Rays. Even teams that looked bad on paper are playing with some pluck, like the Tigers, […]

Super quick version today because my very pregnant wife has me running around like a mad man this morning.Yesterday sucked. 1-2, and neither home run hit…although Goldschmidt came very close. Steele was great for me. The Pirates sucked, and their cute little run is over. Phillies stranded the go ahead run in the bottom of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Another not so great day, but the picks were solid. I had Stroman to win, and he pitched 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs. That should be enough to win. I also had Nick Pivetta with over 5.5 strikeouts, and said that he could get clobbered and still have 6 Ks. He got clobbered and recorded […]

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”, […]

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 […]
