Postgame Report: Three Wins and a Loss

The "Miz" and the Brewers lost to the Mets.  The Cubs won a close one, credit their bats.  The Astros won 5-2, Hunter Brown had eight K's.  Clayton Kershaw pitched like a dog but got his 3000th strikeout and the Dodger's scored three in the ninth to bring home the win for their captain.  

It was a fun night, having four picks on.  I'm not exactly sure if it is a good methodology or a profitable way to play but it was exciting following all the games with a vested interest.  

It feels a little loose.  Making picks in bunches can drawdown your bankroll very quickly and winning three of four didn't exactly boost my profits significantly.  

I went 3-1 on the night games.  I wagered 4.00 units and returned 4.26 units.  I only added 0.26 units to the account.  It felt like each and every game was a sweat.  I very easily could have been 0-4.  

I like a couple games today.  I plan on playing the Astros in the afternoon.  I also like the Yankees tonight.  If all goes well, I could play three with a pick in the late game.  

I racked two units on the three wins and was left with 2.26 units in play, 3-3 to start July with a one game Pickstreak on the line.

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.
