Pick Result: "Rays Brew Crew" Two-Team Parlay - WIN

All right, a win for the Pickstreak Blog.

It's about darn time.  We haven't put a chip in the bank for for over a month.

Rays win 3-1 over the Astros.  Nick Martinez and the Rays' bullpen held the Astros to three hits on the night.  

"Houston, we have a problem."  They can't hit.  

Credit to Martinez, he is a good pitcher.  It's a no decision for the veteran but he won that game for the Rays last night.  Rays bullpen pitched well too.  Three relievers combined for 3.2 innings and didn't allow a baserunner.

Brewers' game was a sweat.  Kyle Harrison was pulled early in this game.  Both starters had their issues.  It was a 3-3 game after three innings of play.

The bullpens went at it.  Inning for inning into extras.  It was still a 3-3 game in the top of the 11th inning when the Brew Crew finally broke through in a big way.  It was a bean ball and a walk to load the bases for Jackson Chourio.  

Chourio delivered with what was ruled a base hit.  It was an unintentional swinging bunt single.  

It is a great clip.  Bases loaded.  Thompson delivers. Chourio puts a swing on it.  The ball squirts into the infield grass just to the right of Thompson, he dives for it, bare hands the ball and chucks it into the Brewers dugout.  

It's a base-hit and an error charged to D'Backs pitcher, Ryan Thompson.  He had no chance to make that play.  That ball couldn't have been placed more perfectly.

The runners advanced on the error and Brice Turang made it a four-run game with a line drive base hit to left field.  

It's a 7-4 Brewers' win at the end of 11 innings.  

Great performance from both bullpens last night. 

Let's rack some units.

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...
