Pick Result: SDP (-165) ML - LOSS

Padres didn't hit tonight and lost the opener 2-1.  I feel like it says a lot about the Padres offense.  Matthew Liberatore limited them to three hits and one earned run over six innings tonight.  Liberatore has been good for 10.25 H/9 this season and tonight he shut the Padres down to 4.25 H/9.  Its a stark contrast.  You could say it was an off night for San Diego's bats.

Michael King pitched a great game.  Six innings of one-hit baseball.  He only allowed one earned and gets a no-decision tonight.

Bradgley Rodriguez takes the loss out of the Padres' bullpen.  He didn't have a bad outing, he struck out a pair, didn't walk any batters and stranded a runner in scoring position but he did give up the winning run on a triple off the bat of Cardinals' shortstop Masyn Wynn.  Keeping Wynn from scoring with only one out was a nice effort.

Cardinals bullpen locked it down.  They have a good 7,8,9 with Soriano, Romero and O'Brien and tonight the bullpen held.  O'Brien picks up his 11th save of the season.

Another loss tonight.  I feel like my picks have been good.  I am extra ting some real good advantages from the numbers.  The games haven't gone my way.  That's the way it goes.  No pick is ever 100% if your playing the game straight.  

I have been posting the game times incorrectly all preseason.  I had the timezone settings set to "Central America" instead of "Central Standard".  I corrected the error and the game times should be accurate moving forward.

I am also eliminating the nightly recap project.  It is too difficult for me to post late at night in my current station.

Preseason at least until next Friday night.  Stay Tuned.

Postgame Report: MIN -1.5 (-120) Loss

It's 8-2 in the eighth.  Twins lost this one.  Joe Ryan had a bad game.  I'm not looking into this one too far. I picked the game I liked the most, it was the heaviest favorite on the board outside of the Orioles and the pitching matchup, in my opinion, was as good as it gets. Mitchell Parker had a good game.  One thing I can't understand is why Rocco Baldelli stacked his lineup with righties to start the game.  I get that Parker is a lefty but if you look at his splits and you look at his pitch stats, you can see clearly that he gets outs against right handed hitters and gets mashed by lefties.   Baldelli left all three of his lefties on the bench tonight.  Both of the Twins switch hitters took at bats from the right hand side of the plate.  Eight righties in the Twins lineup tonight opened up Parker's game and he got the win.   I noticed it before the game started.  I should have taken the bet off but thought that Ryan and th...

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...

Postgame Report: MIL (-130) Winner

The Brewers kept it rolling last night, winning their fifth game in a row with a 7-2 victory over the Braves.   Joey Wentz cruised through the first two innings.  He had three K's and retired six in a row.   Brewer's center fielder Blake Perkins led off the third with a base hit.  Danny Jansen flew out to right.  Perkins stole second base.  Nine hole hitter Joey Ortiz put the ball in the gap and recorded an infield single that moved the runner to third.  Leadoff hitter Caleb Durbin walked to load the bases.   Bases loaded with one out.   Joey Wentz got a shallow fly ball from William Contreras.  Two down with Christian Yellich at the plate.  He got ahead 0-2 on Yellich and made a good pitch with the curveball but the veteran didn't chase.  Yellich collected an RBI on an infield hit that scored Perkins from third.  It's a 1-0 game.  Andrew Vaughn at the plate.  Wentz got ahead of Vaughn 0-2 and...
