Picks of the Day, 6/24
The week keeps chugging along with another 2-1 day yesterday. Zach Eflin recorded the win in TB, Texas moneyline hit in extra innings, And, in Colorado I came up a run short on the over. I did however put half a unit on Ohtani, Renfroe, and Trout to go deep, and the two former MVPs […]

Nationals’ Outfielder Emerging as All-Star & Potential Trade Candidate
July 30th, 2021, The Washington Nationals traded veteran left-handed starter Jon Lester to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for a “Bench Bat” outfielder with measly numbers. In 2023, that same outfielder has emerged as a cornerstone of a rebuilding franchise and will more than be selected for the MLB All-Star game in July. Lane Thomas […]

Tough beat yesterday. The 10-run Under was a bust in the 4th inning of the Yanks and Sox game when the Red Sox opened up a 10-1 early lead. I also had Houck Over 5.5 strikeouts and he took a liner off the face and left the game. Oof.Rays took care of business, and I […]

Crap day yesterday. I can’t believe how putrid the Yankees are that they can’t beat Lance Lynn. Same with the Phillies. What the hell happened to Kyle Schwarber, and how does a lineup with 5 superstars at the top get shut down by the Tigers with rookies pitching? Gross. At least I can count on […]

Picks of the Day, 6/8
Apparently the air quality is affecting my betting sense. Or, perhaps it’s the lack of sleep and over abundance of explosives baby poops.Either way, I shouldn’t have picked the Pirates yesterday with Roansy Contreras on the mound. My other loss yesterday was the over on the KC/ Miami game. With Lyles going, I assumed a […]

Picks of the Day 6/7
Soooo close to another 3-0 day, but the Orioles blew the lead in the 8th and lost in 10 innings in Milwaukee. I can’t get too mad, my thinking was right. Musgrove helped me out by recording over 6.5 Ks for the first time all year, and A’s / Pirates Over hit very easily. 2-1 […]

I am happy to announce that baby Tenley was born on 6/1 and Momma and Baby are home and well. I hit the Over on birth-weight too, as she came in at 8lbs and 7oz. I didn’t think I’d need 5 days of Paternity leave from gambling, but I haven’t had 3 minutes to myself […]
