Good day yesterday. Gonna take the Yanks run line again with this pitching matchup and ride Jose Fernandez's unbeaten home streak. Also will be adding how much I'm wagering to each of my picks from here on out.

Great day yesterday! I hope my post brought attention to those 2 teams for somebody. As you guys can see I'm big on pitching matchups... I would be banging the Dodgers run line hard tonight if it weren't Kershaws first start from injury and the Nats weren't my home team... You'll likely never see me bet against them because I don't want to throw emotion into my picks... Rarely see me bet on them as well. Tonight's games are a little harder. Wanted to do some over/unders but those usually aren't my thing. I think the Giants have a convincing upper hand on the mound tonight and the Rockies take advantage of a struggling Texas team.

I hear ya. I've just found so far that betting against Miami isn't as easy as it was last season. Oddly enough, my picks are the exact same as the pro picks made by this site on the front page. Swear I did mine first Anyways, RollinDo, hope we both hit on this game.
Also taking the over (o/u 183) on the Wizards v Pacers game for any basketball gamblers reading,

Not liking these 1-1 days. Especially when I put more juice on the loser... Mix that with the Wizards game being the biggest can of garbage I've ever seen and yesterday was not a good day. Lets bounce back! Gonna back an underdog today riding a little momentum wave...

Look for Washington to rebound from a sweep with the arm of there most consistent, possibly best pitcher of the past 3 years.
Too busy today to check out the matchups like I want to, so just posting 1 pick. I think Tanaka is so good and so new that you have to pound the Yanks when he's on the mound.

Wow! I remain on a nice win streak via 2 walk offs... I also carried over my Reds bet but I won't count that as an official win since I didn't post it. For tonight, I feel very strong about the Nats. Roark is an average pitcher but has beastly numbers at Nats Park. He'll continue Ace status at home.

Thank you sir. Hoping I can keep picking winners until all-star break. I find that 2nd half baseball betting is more difficult.

I stayed away from this one today... only because both teams bats are so inconsistent. One game they are putting up 10 runs, next getting shutout. Plus Stultz and De La Rosa are both struggling early with their ERA's. I'd lean towards the Rockies at home, though...
I'm big on pitching matchups first half of the season. And I bet pretty small time as a hobby to keep me 'in the know' on the sports world. Love discussing picks though so even if you guys fade me, please feel free to comment! 😁😉

Well the win streak is over but still a good profitable day. At least Seattle made it interesting. Put $100 on LAD moments before they started. Hoping they keep it up! Will have tomorrows picks up in a couple hours.

Way to go Dodgers.. turned an ok day into a good one! Of course, doesn't go in my stats as I posted about it after start. Tonight I'm hitting 2 hot teams. Yanks coming off 2 shutouts, and Oakland scored 10 against the Indians last night... they are playing a solid pitcher but I'm gonna ride the wave anyways. Also, leaning on the Marlins due to the pitching matchup. May or may not put some juice on them,

Thank you sir.
Also, sorry I haven't done the whole units thing... I post the real amount of money I put on each bet. You'll probably never see much more than $100 placed on a team because, honestly, I do this for fun, not to make a living. Betting baseball is what keeps me 'in the know' with the league... Small betting also allows me to be objective and unemotional... But anyways, so far so good. Hope someone has tailed me a bit so far and made a little profit! GLTA!
