Can I jinx the 10-0 Rays? Ivy Ceballo/ TB Times

Picks of the Day, 4/11

Three straight days going 2-1, and I’m on the comeback trail. 13-16 on the season. I should have picked the Guardians moneyline instead of the run line, but I got greedy. I don’t count the reach picks toward my record. So far I’ve had pretty good luck with them, but yesterday all three aces 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 […]

Betting against Jose Berrios today will hopefully get me back on track. Berrios has been well below average since coming to Toronto at the end of 2021 The Canadian Press

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 […]

Kyle Finnegan Must Be Replaced

Wednesday night got off to a rough start as Chad Kuhl served up three runs in the top of the first, and it seemed like another one of those days where the Nats would go down big early and be dominated throughout, just like Monday night. Surprisingly the bats woke up today and had the […]

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/4

A third consecutive 1-2 day. Houston and Cleveland losing to the two worst teams in baseball is tough. Good news is, my reach pick hit at +468 to save the day when Mike Yastrzemski homered. Sitting at 3-6 now, and taking a conservative approach today to get back on track. Pick#1Yankees -1.5 over Phillies, +130 […]

What’s Going On With the Phillies?

The 2023 MLB season is officially underway, and for the Philadelphia Phillies… it hasn’t been a good start. The Fightins have started 0-4, getting swept by the Texas Rangers in the opening series of the season (their 12th loss in a row to the Rangers), followed by an 8-1 loss to the New York Yankees […]
