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 […]

Picks of the Day, 6/23

Another day, another disappointing 2-1. I invested $300, and the payout was $397…so I made money and had fun, but losing $100 because Shane McClanahan left the game early with a back injury is frustrating as hell.Twins took care of business, as expected verse a minor leaguer that isn’t MLB ready, and the Padres stomped […]

Picks of the Day, 6/22

Not a bad day yesterday. Invested $300, won two of three bets and the payout was $400. I lost the “Ohtani to win” bet even though he threw a 7-inning gem, because the Angels lineup couldn’t score one damn run off a Dodgers bullpen day. I placed the bet because I saw Michael Grove as […]

Picks of the Day, 6/17

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 6/16

Yesterday I went 1-1-1. I got the push on the White Sox-Dodgers O/U 9 runs. If I had waited an hour, the line dropped to 8.5. Bummer. Mackenzie Gore shoved against the Astros yesterday too. I didn’t think he was up to the challenge, but I was wrong. At least Nate Eovaldi got his 7 […]
