I need Shane Bieber to be Shane Bieber today versus Patrick Corbin and the Nationals Ken Blaze- USA TODAY

Picks of the Day, 4/16

Another 2-1 day, and another reach pick hit with the Andrew Rizzo 3rd inning home run. Braves easily cover -1.5 after a rain delay. Pirates and Cards made me sweat the over, but it hit in extra innings. A’s and Mets did not hit the over, which is stunning. Sitting at 24-20 now and I […]

Picks of the Day, 4/15

One week ago today I said I would be above .500 after a rough start to the season. Happy to say, after a 3-0 day yesterday, I am at 22-19. Anthony Rendon tried his hardest to get the over at Fenway, but even 4 unearned runs couldn’t blow the under for me. The Mets went […]

Braves series in review: Reds

It seems like 5 minutes ago that the Braves were really from 3 straight losses to Padres. Sitting at 6-4, losing 3, and losing some key players to injury, Monday didn’t feel great. Then the Reds came to town…All three games were one-run wins, but it certainly didn’t feel like it. Even trailing late in […]

Giants Sign Logan Webb to Long-term Contract Extension

The Giants announced today they’ve signed young ace Logan Webb to a five-year contract worth $90 million. After months of speculation, and being unable to get an extension done in the offseason, the Giants finally locked up their young star. Webb posted career highs in innings pitched, ERA, and strikeouts last season, earning him an […]

Randy Arozarena made me money early yesterday. Can Castellanos help me today?

Picks of the Day, 4/14

Another 2-1 day overshadowed by the fact that I have been hitting my reach picks almost every day! An Arozarena home run of Chris Sale in the 1st inning yesterday, meant I didn’t care what happened the rest of the day. I also had Springs under 17.5 outs recorded, and he left early with an […]

Young Stars taking Advantage of Nationals’ Rebuild

From a team that won the world series in 2019 with the oldest team in baseball to a team that would finish with the worst record in baseball in 2022. The Washington Nationals are in the cusps of a rebuild. They are surrounded by multiple former top prospects and trade acquisitions who are taking advantage […]

Picks of the Day, 4/12

Hallelujah! Finally a 3-0 day, AND I hit the AL East Parlay at +404. The Wesneski kid in Chicago played ball, and got knocked out in the 2nd inning, Shohei and DeGrom dealt, and the Jays made me sweat a bit but in the end, destroyed the Tigers. If you bet $100 on each of […]

Braves, Padres series wrap-up

Well, it’s not great. The injuries are starting to catch up with this team. After winning game one, of the four game set, with a walk-off in the 9th, the Braves were outscored 19-7 in the last three games. Fortunately, thanks to a hot start, they still sit at 7-4. Spencer Strider wasn’t bad in […]

Picks of the Day, 4/11

Three straight days going 2-1, and I’m on the comeback trail. 13-16 on the season. I should have picked the Guardians moneyline instead of the run line, but I got greedy. I don’t count the reach picks toward my record. So far I’ve had pretty good luck with them, but yesterday all three aces in […]
