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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/8

Anybody that tells you they are good at gambling is full of crap. Somehow, I managed to go 0-3 yesterday, and I’m now 7-13 on the season. Good news is, I’ve done pretty well this week with basketball, and hockey…which doesn’t help me here.If you bet on KC beating San Fran 3-1 at the Giants […]

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 […]

Braves swept the Cardinals in St. Louis to improve to 5-1 on the young season.

Wrapping Up Atlanta’s Series in St. Louis

Three games on the road versus a playoff team. A 5-1 start to the season is always a good thing. Not to take the shine off a great series, but it sure looked as if Cardinals players have quit on manager Oliver Marmol. Marmol publicly called out Tyler O’Neill’s hustle in game two and benched […]

Picks of the Day, 4/6

1-1 Yesterday with a rainout. 5-9 on the season. Bryce Elder surprised everyone yesterday with a great performance against St. Louis. It sure feels like the Cardinals may have quit in skipper Oli Marmol. Lots of rainouts today. Here we go:Pick#1Padres @ Braves (7:10), Under 8.5runs, +100Snell vs Strider. Best game of the year so […]

Picks of the Day, Wednesday 4/5

The good news is, I’ve hit my reach pick the last two days, so financially I’m about breaking even. The bad news is, another 1-2 day, and a 4-8 record on my regular picks. I can’t believe the Oakland A’s are costing me money.Get your picks in early, games start at 12:35 today: Pick#1Cubs at […]

Wrapping Up the Braves’ First Series

The first couple of series of a season are always a crapshoot. Eventual World Series Champs have been swept, and last-place teams often surprise with a series win. Often, the weather in many cities is awful, pitchers are typically on a pitch count, and batters still don’t have their timing down. Rookies are a bundle […]

Picks of the Day, 4/2

Rough start! 1-2 on the picks, and the reach didn’t hit either. However, I was about a foot from the Castellanos Homerun that would have covered the Philly over, and hit the reach pick. Good thing it’s a marathon, not a sprint…. Here’s my Sunday’s best: Pick #1 Orioles @ Redsox 1:10pm, Total Runs Over […]
