Postgame Report: "BBQ Poached Salmon" Three-Team Parlay - LOSS

It came down to the Rangers and Twins game tonight.  I was right on with the Phillies.  Wheeler aced it and the bullpen locked it down.  It's a 7-0 Phillies win.  I nailed the Nationals game, Mitch Spence got blown up in the fifth inning and the Nats' scored seven runs for a 7-3 victory.  

Twins hit a pair of homers tonight and that was the difference. They only had four hits in the game but the Rangers could only muster five hits off Mike Paredes and the Twins' bullpen.  

Paredes went 4.2 innings but didn't issue a walk nor did any of the Twins relievers.  That wins ball games.  Give credit to the Twins relief corps. They challenged the Rangers to hit the ball and relied on the defense to make some plays and it was a good recipe tonight.

Corey Seager was out of the lineup with a concussion, that may have or may not have swayed my decision.  Seager hasn't hit the ball all that well this season and I was mostly picking against Paredes and Minnesota's relievers.  Texas didn't hit and that isn't all that much of a surprise.  I was counting on them to score some runs tonight off a pitching staff that has been good for 4.85 runs per game on the season.  They fell short by three and lost by two.  

We'll re-buy and return to the board tomorrow.  It's a full slate of games with all 30 teams in action.  Stay tuned.

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...
