Picks of the Day, 5/30

How can you not be romantic about baseball? Yesterday featured Liam Hendricks returning from Stage 4 cancer to pitch again, Mike Soroka starting for the Braves after 3 years of rehab, and 31 year old Mike Mayers taking a perfect game into the 8th inning against the team that drafted, then gave up on him.The […]

Picks of the Day, 5/29

Another 3-0 day this week. 11-4 in the last 5 days. One more good day and I’ll declare my slump over.I thought I was screwed on the under on the Sox/DBacks game when Houck allowed 4 early runs, but both lineups, stopped producing and I lucked out. Same for the over in Seattle, It was […]

Picks of the Day, 5/28

I don’t have baseball today because of Memorial Day, so I guess I’ll do quick Sunday picks. I kind of thought I’d be at the hospital welcoming a third daughter this weekend, but the wife is being stubborn and won’t fire the kid out yet.Saturday picks started well with the over hitting in Detroit, but […]

For reasons beyond me, Patrick Corbin and his Nationals are underdogs in KC today

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, 5/20

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 […]

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 […]
