Picks of the Day, 5/26

Turns out, I’m not completely incompetent. A second straight winning day yesterday!! Mets and Cubs over hit in the 7th inning thanks to the Mets finally scoring some runs and Kyle Hendricks predictably being shaky in his first outing. The Orioles moneyline hit with a 3-1 Baltimore win. And, the one I missed on, was […]

Picks of the Day, 5/23

Just fade my picks until this slump is over. I have no friggin clue what baseball Gods I pissed off, but this is getting ridiculous.I picked Chris Bassitt and the Jays to end a 4 game losing streak against the Rays on a bullpen day. These are games that good teams have to win. I […]

Picks of the Day, 5/20

Not an awful day yesterday. 2-1 with the White Sox moneyline, and CLEV/NYM over hit easily. I also took the over in the Cards/Dodgers game, mostly because the Cardinals had scored 8.7 runs per game over their last 7 games…of course they were shut out and the over was a bust. I can’t get too […]

Diamondbacks Continue Chasing Dodgers

They may not be where they were to start the season when they led the loaded National League West, but the Diamondbacks are still hanging tough in the division. Arizona is currently second, and just three games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then on the flip side of things, the San Francisco Giants are […]

1-4 Michael Kopech faces 1-4 Zack Greinke and the Royals this evening to kick off a must-win series for the White Sox

Picks of the Day, 5/19

Enjoyed a day off yesterday after getting bludgeoned on Wednesday. Picking games on a day with only 6 games is hard enough without going 0-3 the day before. I hate forcing a bet I don’t love, so I took the day to reset and get back on track before the weekend.To quickly recap the bloodbath […]

I am failing at trying to grow a Strider mustache. Also, he faces a Rangers lineup today that strikes out a lot

Picks of the Day, 5/17

Yesterday was one of those “I’m never betting again” days. I have no explanation for San Diego losing to Brady Singer and the 13-31 Royals, and Luis Castillo pitching like Nick Pivetta against Pivetta and the Red Sox. At least Houston and Chicago scored 10 and the over hit for me. Betting MLB has been […]

Picks of the Day, 5/16

Is there anything more frustrating than taking the Under on a 10 run line, having a score of 2-0 through 5, then having a bullpen injury and implosion followed by a position player pitching, and missing the Under by one run?? Well, that’s what happened in Boston last night. A pitchers duel (that I correctly […]

Picks of the Day, 5/15

A drunken start to the MLB season is starting to sober up. The Pirates are out of first and 2-8 in the last 10. The Yankees are starting to play better. The Rays are coming back to the pack a bit. The Phillies finally got to .500, and the Cardinals have now won 2 straight […]

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, 5/10

Another 2-1 Tuesday. The Padres took care of business and covered the run line, and the Cards and Cubs went over the total runs. I have under 10 in Atlanta because I thought the line was absurdly high, but Nick Pivetta allowed 4 runs in the first and the two teams went over 10 in […]
