Picks of the Day, 5/4

I am having a rough week. Another 1-2 day yesterday, so I’m looking for three easy wins today. I was totally unaware that the Mets are so bad, I just figured injuries are taking their toll, but man does that lineup stink. I also had the over in the Yankees game because: Clarke Schmidt…but the […]

Picks of the Day, 5/2

Not a bad Monday with limited options. Over in San Diego hit easily, and the Under in Washington came in with 2 runs to spare. Of course, the easiest bet of the day (Braves -1.5) did not hit. Strider was off his game and the bullpen blew a 6-1 lead, then AJ Minter allowed one […]

Padres Left-Handed Pitch Blake Snell Mid-Wind Up Set to Deliver Next Pitch
Snell has been less than sharp this year. Hopefully he doesn't figure it out today.

Picks of the Day, 5/1

Not a bad Sunday. 2-1 on the picks. Sonny Gray getting the win was easy money. Royals and Twins Over hit late. And, of course, I had Alex Cobb allowing the first earned run, and Yu Darvish promptly allowed a homerun on the second pitch of the game. Not too many games today to choose […]

Picks of the Day, 4/30

Betting on baseball when half the country is cold and wet is a pain in the ass. Strider was rained out in NY, Toronto won, and unfortunately the Pirates and Nats came up one run short for my over. 1-1 yesterday with a voided bet.This is the last Sunday I’ll do picks. I’ll be playing […]

In the last few days, the Giants have made the decision to promote two of their top prospects – Patrick Bailey and Carson Whisenhunt.

Marcus Stroman faces the Marlins in Miami today. I expect a strong performance.

Picks of the Day, 4/28

Even when I lose, I win. For only the second time this season, all three of my picks lost yesterday, and lost big. But, because I picked Brett Baty to hit his first home run at +650, I still ended up 3.5 units up for the day. 42-37 on the season. Be aware of lots […]

Can Brett Baty get off the schneid tonight against the Nats?

Picks of the Day, 4/27

Another day, another slate of great picks. I went 2-1 yesterday AND the Bo Bichette Home Run at +600 hit. I’ve done incredibly well, on the “player X to hit a home run” props. Zac Gallen to record a win is free money at this point, and the Angels took care of business against the […]
