Pick Result: "Skubal's Game" Two-Team Parlay - LOSS

Skubal was game last night.  Noah Cameron matched him inning for inning in his best start of the season and the Royals had an opportunity late but the Tigers' bullpen held.  Kenley Jansen records his 12th save of the season.

That was a high pressure, high leverage situation last night for both Hanifer and Jansen.  Credit to the Tigers' relievers for bringing home the win.  

The back-end of the parlay bet didn't go our way.  Davis Martin had only allowed three baserunners through five innings and the White Sox had a 5-0 lead into the sixth.

Im the top half of the sixrh inning, the Astros scored eight runs on six hits.  Cam Smith topped it off with a long ball to make it 8-5 Astros. 

Martin spun out.  Bryan Hudson and Seranthony Dominguez couldn't limit the damage.  It's as bad of a loss as the White Sox have taken all season.  

Martin had been their best starter over the first half of the season but he has really struggled since June 1st.  He is either harboring an injury or fatigued or both.  

The bullpen hasn't been that strong either.  Hudson and Dominguez two of their best and neither could hold last night.

It's a loss for the Pickstreak.  We are exactly half way through our buy-in.  25 losses on the season.  25 more buy-ins remaining.  11 units in the bank.  We are well off the pace of a winning season but have managed our bankroll well and with 25 units in the current account, that's 25 more opportunities to put together a winning streak that could make our season.

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...
