Pick Result: "Perseverance" Three-Team Parlay (+302)

"Perserverence is a loss.  How can that be?  The word and the concept is so uplifting and full of positive connotation," says the detractor.  

Mock it if you must but I believe in perseverence win or lose and once again I am happy with my picks despite the loss.  Perserverance and determination are with me and are on my side.  I trust in them more than I trust in you.

Pickstreak blog won 2 of 3 games last night and that doesnt pay in the parlay bet.  My strategy with the parlays hasn't paid off this season but I am learning and improving with each bet.  I feel good abouy my season to this point.

Shane McClanahan is going to have to dig deeper if he is going to continue to be a successful pitcher in MLB.  The curveball he threw to Nick Loftin was a looping cupcake.  Loftin deposited it over the left-field fence.  

The fastball he threw Caglionone in the fifth inning was right in the middle of the plate.  It looked easier to hit than a batting practice fastball.  McClanahan gets no movement on that four seamer and that is why he has been getting tanked.  I'm off McClanahan the rest of the year.

Royals pounded reliever, Steven Matz, in the top of the eighth inning for five runs and the game is well out of reach of the Rays offense but five runs is good for a win on most nights if you get six innings from your starter.  It wasn't good last night and it's another loss for the Pickstreak Blog.

Sandy Alcantara pitched a great game for the Marlins and moves his record to (8-4) on the season.  Rangers bullpen is wounded and limping.

Sonny Gray stepped up last night and got his team a win. Seven innings, 11 K's, only one earned run allowed, Gray is the leader of this Boston Red Sox team.    It was a great start for the veteran.  Gray is now (9-1) on the season.

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: NYY (-215) Winner

That's six wins in a row for the Pickstreak blog.  We crushed that pick into the upperdeck. Carlos Rodon had a great start in front of the New York crowd and the Yanks' bats scored nine runs and hit three homers.  Twins' starter Travis Adams was out of the game in the third.  Minnesota's bullpen gave up seven hits, seven walks and five earned.   The Yanks bullpen locked it down.  Yankees win 9-1. The Yankees were not a sure thing.  Rodon had two fairly bad starts coming into last night's contest.  The Yankees were 3-7 over their last ten and the Twins had played some good baseball.   Following the game closely everyday, you can pick up on some minutia that isn't necessarily in the stats or in the boxscores.   I feel like this series with the Twins is a turning point for the Yankees' season.  I think the Yanks are going to win some games in August with Luis Gil, Cam Schlittler and Will Warren all turning it up a notch....

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...
