Picks of the Day, 5/6

Quick Picks today. Pregnant wife is all over me to get the honeydew list done New York Post Composite

Super quick version today because my very pregnant wife has me running around like a mad man this morning.
Yesterday sucked. 1-2, and neither home run hit…although Goldschmidt came very close. Steele was great for me. The Pirates sucked, and their cute little run is over. Phillies stranded the go ahead run in the bottom of the 5th and the Phillies first 5 inning didn’t hit.


53-48 on the season. Going safe today to recoup losses
Pick #1
Orioles @ Braves, No Runs First Inning, -110
I dont like Strider props today. 8.5 Ks is too high after a shaky outing and against a team that strikes out 8x per game. I’m weary of betting against the O’s too, as much as I’d like to. NRFI seems like the best bet.
Pick #2
Yankees @ Rays, Total Runs Over 7.5, -115
7.5 runs is low with German on the hill. Rays could score 8 on their own. Yankees are a disaster.
Pick #3
Sonny Gray to record Over 17.5 outs, -165
I wish the line was 18.5 and paid better. Is what it is, I need a W. Sonny Gray is the current leader for AL Cy Young.
Reach
Taking a breather on home run props because I’m ice cold after hitting 15 of 20 to start the year. Kike Hernandez Over 1.5 total bases, +135. Not much of a reach, but let’s get back on track.
How about a Derby Superfecta: 3, 14, 5 and 6 horses
