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 […]

Giants Promote Two Top Prospects

In the last few days, the Giants have made the decision to promote two of their top prospects – Patrick Bailey and Carson Whisenhunt. Bailey, 23, was taken by the Giants in the first round (13th overall) of the 2020 draft. Bailey debuted in 2021 with the Low-A San Jose Giants and performed well enough […]

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/26

Not a bad day yesterday. 2-1 on the regular picks. The Diamondbacks left the winning run on 2nd in the ninth or that moneyline parlay would have hit. The Twins and Yanks Over 6.5 was an easy one. red Sox scored 7 early, but still had to sweat the over until Kaleb Ort came in, […]

Another awesome day. 3-0 on the picks AND Gallo hit a home run, for a total of $640 winnings on the day. I am now 38-32 on the season, and have hit on 14 of 24 reach picks. One of these days I’ll track it all and figure out the return on investment.What’s really great, […]

Lets start the week of right:Pick #1Red Sox @ Orioles, Total Runs Over 8, -105Sale vs Kremer. I’m not convinced Sale is going to be dominant a second […]

Joc Pederson, Austin Slater, and Mitch Haniger have been subject to IL stints, but there is a belief that all of them could return shortly. Pederson was re-signed on a one-year deal in the offseason via the qualifying offer. Pederson put up his […]
