The Red Sox stink. Not only do they stink, but they legitimately quit playing when they get down by a few runs. They are on my no-bet list for a while with the Mets and Cardinals.Shohei Ohtani saved my day. Angels run line hit, and he hit 2 home runs while striking out 10. You […]

Congrats to LSU for winning the College World Series. I bet the Over hoping for a high scoring, fun game, but got a really high scoring snooze-fest. But a win is a win.Spencer Strider and the Braves took care of business against the Twins. I bet on the Strider W, and stayed away from his […]

I had a great week, only to go 2-4 over the weekend. i normally take Sundays off, and I wish I had. Eovaldi came up 1 K short, Brewers and Guardians Under was fine…until extra innings, and the Over in Cincy hit for the 3rd straight game. What a great series! The Reds proved they […]

Happy Sunday. I’ve been taking Sundays off because I usually have baseball, but I was rained out for my first game. 1-2 yesterday. Not betting Overs on Cardinals games for a while, that lineup has either quit, or they are lost. Tough beat taking the DBacks and Merrill Kelly comes out and lays an egg. […]

Another day, another disappointing 2-1. I invested $300, and the payout was $397…so I made money and had fun, but losing $100 because Shane McClanahan left the game early with a back injury is frustrating as hell.Twins took care of business, as expected verse a minor leaguer that isn’t MLB ready, and the Padres stomped […]

Not a bad day yesterday. Invested $300, won two of three bets and the payout was $400. I lost the “Ohtani to win” bet even though he threw a 7-inning gem, because the Angels lineup couldn’t score one damn run off a Dodgers bullpen day. I placed the bet because I saw Michael Grove as […]

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 […]
