    DH - MLB Picks 2013

    2013 season is rolling and I'm ready to lay some action. Everyday I pick one favored team as my winner and if available, an underdog team that isn't getting enough respect. My bets are always the same, $100. Occasionally I'll double up on a play that feels twice as nice.

    This first post will be updated with my records. I always welcome discussion, so if you got something to say, post it. Just make sure it's worth everyone's time... I'll try and do the same. Good luck this season, lets make some money.

    Through April 1st

    Favorites (1-0) +$100
    Underdogs (0-1) -$100

    Well I won't be updating my first post anymore, since I was unaware you can't edit after 24 hours. So, to make things difficult I'll keep a running tab of my record in each post. Got Wandy and Wei on the bump today, hoping those Ws lead to some WINS!

    Peavy did just what I thought he would, 11 K's in straight domination. Hats off to Buchholz for one hell of a game. Stick with the Pale Hose today.

    Added H/A to my splits. Things should even out before too long, but at least I'm a solid 5-1 with NL home teams to start the year! On road teams again for the fifth straight day however.

    Just out of curiosity... anyone out there check these plays? I'm not lonely, but it's been almost 3 weeks and I haven't heard a peep... Anyways, going out on somewhat of a limb again today, but the M's are fresh off a long home stand and could surprise Yu today.

    First time visitor. hard to check into so many threads every day, TBH. There are pretty good daily discussions in a few threads, including but not limited to BiffTFinancial's, No Coincidences's, and Pacocn's.

    I keep my picks in mebaran's hangout thread, but usually post thoughts elsewhere

    Thanks BayArea888, hats off to the Pads and Rays for righting the ship, but if you told me the Pads would only score 2 runs in a game I would bet the Brewers every single time no matter who's pitching. Pettitte and Estrada gave their teams a chance to win. Back early today and hopefully back to picking winners.
