Picks of the Day, 5/11

Pete Alonso leads the majors in home runs (13) and squares off against the Reds bullpen today

Another 2-1 day. I guess I can’t complain. Steele at +200 to win was great. Tigers Moneyline +100 hit early and was never in doubt. And, the one that didn’t hit was Dean Kremer over strikeouts that missed by one, despite Kremer throwing a gem.
For the second day in a row, my player to hit a home run pick not only missed, but the player went 0-5. Taking the day off from a reach pick to shake off the bad juju.

61-52 on the season. Only 5 games today:
Pick #1
White Sox -1.5 Run Line @ Royals, +150
Sox have won their last 2 series, and have a chance to at least split with KC today. Singer doesn’t belong in the major leagues at this point. If you don’t like the run line, take the over.
Pick #2
Wander Franco Over 1.5 hit+run+RBI, -125 @ Yankees
Kid is a stud. He has 23 runs, 23, RBI and 45 hits in 36 games. Easy Money with German on the mound.
Pick #3
Pete Alonso Over 1.5 total bases, +100 @ Reds
Alonso has 3 doubles and 13 home runs. Its a bullpen game for the Reds.
