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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 4/10
Thanks to an onslaught of late scoring and extras innings in Cleveland, I ended up 2-1 yesterday and improved to 11-15 on the season. Unfortunately for the Braves fan in me, Dylan Dodd looked awful iin Atlanta and my under pick missed by a mile. On the right track again, here we go Pick#1 Yankees […]

I need a new name for these posts….Jim’s Pearls? Something with “diamond” in it? Diamond Jim’s Gems? Anyway, like Jesus, I rose from the dead yesterday. The Angels and Rays picked me up and The Braves Crucified me with their cold bats. 2-1 Yesterday, 9-14 on the season. Happy Masters Sunday to those who celebrate: […]

Anybody that tells you they are good at gambling is full of crap. Somehow, I managed to go 0-3 yesterday, and I’m now 7-13 on the season. Good news is, I’ve done pretty well this week with basketball, and hockey…which doesn’t help me here.If you bet on KC beating San Fran 3-1 at the Giants […]

Giants Blast 13 Homers as They Spoil the White Sox Opening Series
At the beginning of the season, Giants’ President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi told KNBR that this Giants team would be capable of leading the league in homers. Most dismissed that as wishful thinking, thinking there was no way a team that was 81-81 the year before could rebound so quickly without any headliner signings. […]
