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 […]

Tough beat yesterday. The 10-run Under was a bust in the 4th inning of the Yanks and Sox game when the Red Sox opened up a 10-1 early lead. I also had Houck Over 5.5 strikeouts and he took a liner off the face and left the game. Oof.Rays took care of business, and I […]

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 […]
