Nationals’ Outfielder Emerging as All-Star & Potential Trade Candidate

July 30th, 2021, The Washington Nationals traded veteran left-handed starter Jon Lester to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for a “Bench Bat” outfielder with measly numbers. In 2023, that same outfielder has emerged as a cornerstone of a rebuilding franchise and will more than be selected for the MLB All-Star game in July. Lane Thomas […]

Big Maple has been one of the few bright spots on the Red Sox staff. He takes his 12.4 Ks per 9 to Minny to face a lineup that Ks over 10 times per game

Picks of the Day, 6/19

On Saturday I went 1-1 with a push on the White Sox -Mariners Over. The line was 7 runs, and I’ll take the Over 7 every time I see it unless there are two aces going.Bryce Elder got be the W at +105, and the damn Phillies/A’s game, which featured 2 starters with ERAs over […]

Bryce Elder has come up big for the Braves in the absence of Max Fried and Kyle Wright. He enters tonight at 4-1 with a 2.69 ERA Jim Rassol, USA Today Sports

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 […]

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 […]

James Wood’s Hot Double-AA Start

With most of the top-rated prospects in the Minor Leagues, Nationals fans are optimistic about prospects like Robert Hassell, James Wood, Elijah Green, Trey Lipscomb, Brady House, Jarlin Susana, and Jackson Rutledge. Out of the players, a 6’6 outfielder has been (quite literally) standing out. On May 28th, #1 overall organizational prospect James Wood received word […]

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 […]

Picks of the Day, 6/8

Apparently the air quality is affecting my betting sense. Or, perhaps it’s the lack of sleep and over abundance of explosives baby poops.Either way, I shouldn’t have picked the Pirates yesterday with Roansy Contreras on the mound. My other loss yesterday was the over on the KC/ Miami game. With Lyles going, I assumed a […]

Zack Wheeler has enjoyed a career resurgence in Philly, but 2023 is off to a rough start

Picks of the Day 6/7

Soooo close to another 3-0 day, but the Orioles blew the lead in the 8th and lost in 10 innings in Milwaukee. I can’t get too mad, my thinking was right. Musgrove helped me out by recording over 6.5 Ks for the first time all year, and A’s / Pirates Over hit very easily. 2-1 […]
