Picks of the Day, 6/27

Congrats to LSU for winning the College World Series. I bet the Over hoping for a high scoring, fun game, but got a really high scoring snooze-fest. But a win is a win.Spencer Strider and the Braves took care of business against the Twins. I bet on the Strider W, and stayed away from his […]

As you can see, the runner was out by a million feet. This play was overturned and the runner was called safe. Blake Snell and the Padres exact revenge today

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 […]

Houck
Its hard to believe the Yankees, and Red Sox haven't met, halfway through June. Houck and German start off the series at Fenway tonight

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 […]

Padres Right-Handed Pitcher Yu Darvish Mid-Wind up Set to Deliver Next Pitch
Which Yu shows up tonight? The one that went 7 innings and 2 hits vs the Cubs, or the one that went 2.2 innings and 7 runs against the Yankees?

Picks of the Day, 6/9

Crap day yesterday. I can’t believe how putrid the Yankees are that they can’t beat Lance Lynn. Same with the Phillies. What the hell happened to Kyle Schwarber, and how does a lineup with 5 superstars at the top get shut down by the Tigers with rookies pitching? Gross. At least I can count on […]

Padres Right-Handed Pitcher Joe Musgrove Excited After Getting Strike-Out
Taking a little risk today and betting on Musgrove to do something he hasn't done yet this year.

Picks of the Day 6/6

Great way to come back from paternity and start a new week. 3-0 yesterday and none of them even threatened to lose. The Rays took care of a quickly regressing Red Sox team 4-1, and the Padres and Snell shut-out the Cubs 5-0…both unders hit. And the third pick was Philly -1.5 and they won […]

Cy Young candidate, Shane McClanahan takes on a weak Red Sox lineup on a cold, rainy day in Boston

Picks of the Day, 6/5

I am happy to announce that baby Tenley was born on 6/1 and Momma and Baby are home and well. I hit the Over on birth-weight too, as she came in at 8lbs and 7oz. I didn’t think I’d need 5 days of Paternity leave from gambling, but I haven’t had 3 minutes to myself […]

Soler
Look for Jorge Soler to continue mashing this evening against a lefty that has struggled Sam Navarro-USA Today

Picks of the Day, 5/31

My wife is having labor induced tomorrow morning. If you want my picks for the next two days, please follow @ITDiamonds_Jim on Twitter, and I will put the picks up there without much detail. Alex Cora owes me money. The Red Sox last night, coming off a 4-5 road trip, and an off day, should […]

5-1 Shohei Ohtani gets the nod against the Marlins in the last game of the day.

Picks of the Day, 5/27

i’m old enough to remember the last time I went 3-0 on my daily picks.It has been a slow couple of weeks here, but yesterday was the third straight winning day, and I won all 3 bets including a +380 for Juan Soto to hit a bomb, which he did in grand fashion in the […]

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 […]

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 […]
