Picks of the Day, 5/4
I am having a rough week. Another 1-2 day yesterday, so I’m looking for three easy wins today. I was totally unaware that the Mets are so bad, I just figured injuries are taking their toll, but man does that lineup stink. I also had the over in the Yankees game because: Clarke Schmidt…but the […]

Picks of the Day 5/3
Yesterday was a bloodbath. Twins -1.5 was a loser because Michael Friggin Kopech carried a one hitter into the 7th. Zac Gallen (Over 18.5 outs) was knocked out in the 6th by the Rangers. And, my reach pick, Shohei to hit a home run, didn’t even play. Thank goodness for Tanner Houck being forced to […]

Picks of the Day, 5/2
Not a bad Monday with limited options. Over in San Diego hit easily, and the Under in Washington came in with 2 runs to spare. Of course, the easiest bet of the day (Braves -1.5) did not hit. Strider was off his game and the bullpen blew a 6-1 lead, then AJ Minter allowed one […]

Picks of the Day, 5/1
Not a bad Sunday. 2-1 on the picks. Sonny Gray getting the win was easy money. Royals and Twins Over hit late. And, of course, I had Alex Cobb allowing the first earned run, and Yu Darvish promptly allowed a homerun on the second pitch of the game. Not too many games today to choose […]

Betting on baseball when half the country is cold and wet is a pain in the ass. Strider was rained out in NY, Toronto won, and unfortunately the Pirates and Nats came up one run short for my over. 1-1 yesterday with a voided bet.This is the last Sunday I’ll do picks. I’ll be playing […]

Picks of the Day, 4/29
Another not so great day, but the picks were solid. I had Stroman to win, and he pitched 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs. That should be enough to win. I also had Nick Pivetta with over 5.5 strikeouts, and said that he could get clobbered and still have 6 Ks. He got clobbered and recorded […]

Picks of the Day, 4/28
Even when I lose, I win. For only the second time this season, all three of my picks lost yesterday, and lost big. But, because I picked Brett Baty to hit his first home run at +650, I still ended up 3.5 units up for the day. 42-37 on the season. Be aware of lots […]

Picks of the Day, 4/27
Another day, another slate of great picks. I went 2-1 yesterday AND the Bo Bichette Home Run at +600 hit. I’ve done incredibly well, on the “player X to hit a home run” props. Zac Gallen to record a win is free money at this point, and the Angels took care of business against the […]

Picks of the Day, 4/26
Not a bad day yesterday. 2-1 on the regular picks. The Diamondbacks left the winning run on 2nd in the ninth or that moneyline parlay would have hit. The Twins and Yanks Over 6.5 was an easy one. red Sox scored 7 early, but still had to sweat the over until Kaleb Ort came in, […]

Picks of the Day, Tuesday 4/25
Another awesome day. 3-0 on the picks AND Gallo hit a home run, for a total of $640 winnings on the day. I am now 38-32 on the season, and have hit on 14 of 24 reach picks. One of these days I’ll track it all and figure out the return on investment.What’s really great, […]
