Pick Result: TBR (-125) ML @ KCR - WIN

The Tampa Bay Rays post their eighth win in a row last night, sweeping the Kansas City Royals, and head into Independence Day weekend with a four-game lead in the AL East.

A home run from Royals' catcher, Carter Jensen, in the first inning put KC up 1-0 early but Rays' starter, Ian Seymour, shut the home team down with another strong effort last night. The lefty only allowed three hits and one earned run in 6.0 innings.  Seymour racked eight K's and only issued one walk.  He now has a 7.5 K/BB ratio over his Last2 starts and that is solid.

Seymour's Line:  6.0 IP 3H 1ER 1HR 8K 1BB

The Rays' big bats didn't hit last night.  Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero were a combined 1 for 13 in this game.  

Chandler Simpson, Taylor Walls, Richie Palacios and Hunter Feduccia strung together some hits in the second inning and the Rays took a 3-1 lead.  Veteran free agent Cedric Mullins hit a two-run blast in the fifth to make it 5-1 Rays.  The bottom of the order picked the stars up last night and that's what this Rays' team does best.  They fight for wins as a team and pick each other up.  When the top of the lineup doesn't hit often the bottom does.  

Seymour is the story of this game last night.  He pitched a great game and is firmly entrenched in this Rays' rotation moving forward.  Bullpen held and Seymour gets his fifth win of the season.

The Pickstreak Blog also gets a win and we press on into the holiday weekend with 1.8 units in play.

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...
