Today's Pick: NYY (-120) over SEA

I like the Yankees today coming off a loss in a day game with the Seattle Mariners.

Will Warren starts for the Yankees.  With both Garrett Cole and Luis Gil on the DL, it has been Warren filling in.  The former 8th round pick out of Southeastern Louisiana State wasn't highly regarded as a prospect but has made the most of his opportunity this season.  The rookie hurler is coming off his best start.  I like his 3.50 K/BB ratio and his ground ball rates have been better than league average.  Warren's FIP of 3.60 puts him amongst baseball's top 30 starters.  

Luis Castillo starts for the Mariners.  Castillo has had some good starts, he has had some bad starts.  His 1.385 WHIP and 1.83 K/BB ratio are both well off his career marks.  He has yet to find the form that made him an all-star in 2023.  He is a veteran and can pitch, but those numbers are indicative of a pitcher who gives up runs. 

The Yankees offense has averaged nearly seven runs per game over their last ten.  The Mariners have averaged just 3.4 runs per game over the same time period.  

Will Warren can keep the Yankees in this game, and Luis Castillo isn't the ace that he once was.  Matt Brash and Andres Munoz will likely be unavailable for Seattle.

I like the Yankees to win today and think there is some value at (-120).

Today's Pick: CIN (-165) over MIA

The Reds and the Marlins conclude a four game series at The Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, OH, it's a 4:10 CDT first pitch.  The Marlins took the first two games of the series but the Reds battled back in game three, winning 7-2 on another quality start from lefty Andrew Abbott.   It's lefty Nick Lodolo starting for the Reds this afternoon.  Lodolo has been prone to giving up the long ball and leads the league in hit batsman.  Oddly, he doesn't walk that many hitters.  Strikeouts are his game, he has averaged nearly a strikeout per inning this season.  It's Lodolo's last start before the All Star break, he'll be charged up and should let it rip today.   Cal Quantrill starts for Miami.  I like Cal Quantrill.  He has pitched well this season and should be under consideration for a trade at the end of July.  Miami's management has been closely watching his pitch count and does everything in their power to keep him from get...

Today's Pick: A 2 Team Parlay

I have 1.56 units in play after yesterday's quasi-disappointment.   I'm going to rack a unit, and play a two team parlay tonight.  I've been stuck on 32 units banked for two weeks now.   I can't stand the number 32.  It has everything to do with Magic Johnson.  I don't like magic and I don't like Johnson.   Anyhow, now that we have 33 units in the bank, I feel better. Jose Canseco wore number 33.  Still one of my favorite players of all time.   No analysis today, I'm just making a pick.  My season for the most part is over.  I have 0.56 units in play, 4.0 units in my account, and 33 units in the bank.   The pick is a parlay on the Astros (-350) ML / Blue Jays (-175) ML for a (+105) payout. I like the pick.  Im happy with the plus money.  Have to win them both to cash a ticket but I like the play.   Today's Pick:  PAR:  TOR (-180) ML / HOU (-350) ML over Units in Play:  0.56...

Wednesday, August 6th: No Pick Today

No pick today, there isn't much on the board that I liked.  I didn't dig into any games but the Giants and the Pirates early this morning.  I liked the Giants but they don't hit left handed pitching all that well and Pirates had a well rested bullpen.  The Giants won that game 4-2.   I had thought about putting on my three dogs play with the Rangers, Reds and the Royals.  The Reds are down 6-0.  That would have been a loser.   There are some games later this afternoon and some late games too but I am going to take a pass on the action today and see if I can find a good spot tomorrow.   I'm sitting at 5.36 units in play and have a four game Pickstreak on the line.  We'll look to make it five in a row tomorrow.
