Today's Pick: "Slump Buster" Two-Team Parlay (+166)

I like two games tonight and am going to play a two-team parlay at (+166).  I feel like I'm getting a good price on both games.  Both my pitchers tonight are throwing the ball exceptionally well.  I need a slump buster tonight.  This bet looks good.  I'm going to hit it.  

PHI (-170) ML @ TOR

Christopher Sanchez (7-2) takes the ball for Philadelphia.  Sanchez has posted freaky numbers, comparable to Misiorowski.  Over his Last5 starts:  0.24 ERA, a 0.76 WHIP and a 14.33 K/BB ratio.  He has only allowed three home runs in 86.1 innings this season.  Phillies' bullpen took some damage on Sunday but Sanchez has gone 7.0 innings or more in six straight starts. 

Patrick Corbin (2-2) has thrown some good innings for the Jays this season but the veteran has only pitched six or more once all year.  The Blue Jays will likely be into the bullpen early.  The Bluebirds' bullpen could lock it down.  Fluharty, Fisher and Hoffman are all available but they are short on relief tonight.  Rogers and Varland have both thrown back-to-backs and are unlikely to pitch.  

Phillies are swinging the bats and are winning games.   An appearance from the Jeff Hoffman Explosion is always a possibility.  I like the Phillies tonight.  It's a 6:07 PM CDT start at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada.  

"Oh Canada!  Our Home and Native Land."  

MIL (-150) ML @ ATH

Kyle Harrison (7-2) starts for Milwaukee. He's pitched well on the road all season and his Last5 are as good as any pitcher in MLB.  He's posted a 0.54 ERA, a 0.78 WHIP and an 11.66 K/9.  That's about as good as you can pitch in this league.  His 2.04 FIP is good for 6th best amongst starters with 20 or more innings pitched since May 1st. At (-150), for a pitcher who has posted a sub 1.00 ERA over his last 32.2 innings, it is difficult to find a reason to pass at that price.

Jeffrey Springs (3-6) starts for the A's.  Springs has been serviceable for the A's but has posted a 1.42 WHIP and a 2.42 HR/9 over his Last5 starts.  That is a recipe for runs allowed. The Brewers don't hit the long ball like some of the big market teams but they do have some power in their lineup.  Bauers can poke it out of the park.  Vaughn has a little slug in his game.  Chourio is back and hit a pair of dingers last week against the Giants.  

Brewers bullpen is in good shape tonight.  Brewers are swinging the bats well, .319/.413/.541 as a team over the past week.  The A's have hit .207/.278/.369 collectively over the same period.  

Only the Braves have a better road record this season than the Brewers.  This game lines up well and the price looks nice at (-150). 

It's a 9:05 PM CDT start from Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, CA.  

A two-team parlay to open the new week.  It's a nice bet.  Let's see if we can get a win tonight.  Bust that slump!

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...
