Free Picks Thursdays

It's been a hectic week and I haven't been able to put up posts the past couple of days, but I'm back today with a couple picks! It's Thursday which usually means there's less games to pick from for MLB, but to me that's not necessarily a bad thing. Too many options doesn't always result in your favor. Anyways, enough about that, lets get started with some baseball! Here's today's picks.

Today's Pick
Tampa Bay Rays (-165)
Toronto Blue Jays (-180)

Free Picks Monday

Top of the morning everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend as we start the Monday off with a couple baseball picks. We're getting closer to football season, so I'm excited and preparing for that as well. While you can bet on preseason, I usually don't because the starters aren't in for the entire game. Anyways, back to baseball for now and today's picks.

Today's Picks

Atlanta Braves (-130)
Minnesota Twins (-140)

Good luck!

Free Picks Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!

Yesterday was a very boring 1-1 finish as the Dodgers for the most part dominated against Milwaukee and eventually finishing 5-1. Luckily the Nationals pulled through for us and won the game 3-1.

Hoping to get in the positive today.

Today's Pick
Saint Louis Cardinals (-155)
San Francisco Giants (-145)

Free Picks Thursday

It's Thursday today which means were one day closer to the weekend and I can't say the weekend can't come soon enough. Football season is starting soon so I'm sure everyone is excited about that. Just a couple more weeks, but in the meantime lets continue to focus on baseball to help pass the time.

Took a good look at the games today and here's who I like.

Today's Picks
Washington Nationals (-145)

Yesterday's game was a lot closer than I liked, but we still ended up with a win so no complaints here. I'm hoping to use the win as a little momentum in today's game. Again the lines for the favored teams are disgusting, so I've chosen match-ups where the lines are reasonable. Here's what I'm looking at today.

Today's Picks
San Francisco Giants (+130)
Oakland A's (-145)

It was a disappointing way to end the week yesterday as none of the games covered. From what I can see the lines are getting tighter so picking games is definitely getting harder. All we can do now is shake it off and move on.

I don't have anything fancy today. Only one pick.

Today's Pick
Chicago Cubs (-125)

Free Picks Saturday MLB

Good morning everyone! Looks like a beautiful Saturday and I'm ready to watch some baseball. Let's see who we have today. The lines have been getting pretty ugly with huge risks needed to take the teams you like. As a result, I based the picks today on lines.


Today's Pick
San Diego Padres (+110)
Cleveland Indians (-145)

There's one team that I like but their playing against the Phillies at home so it's a much riskier play. I put a lower amount on this one, but you don't need to take it.

Washington Nationals (+160)

Free Picks Wednesday MLB

It was a close game yesterday between the Reds and the Rockies, but unfortunately, the Reds weren't able to pull through and ended with a loss. Luckily it was our only loss since the Red Sox and Angels were pull away with remarkable wins.

Tuesday's Summary 2-1
Cincinnati Reds (loss)
Boston Red Sox (win)
Los Angeles Angels (win)

It's mid-week and I'm looking to get over this hump day on a positive note.

Today's Picks
Philadelphia Phillies (-135)
Washington Nationals (Even)

Free Picks Tuesday MLB

There was some great baseball yesterday, but unfortunately none of them ended in our favor. We seem to be hitting a number of bad beats with it continuing last night with the San Diego Padres. Going into the bottom of the 9th, the Padres were up 2 runs after scoring 4 runs in the 8th, but in due fashion the New York Mets mustered up 3 runs to finished the game off with a win. As for the Giants and Pirates, Morton and the Pirates could really do no wrong as they shut out the Giants. Not that I was very please about the loss, but I must say the way Morton was controlling the strike zone was very impressive. Solid pitching is a beautiful thing. 

Monday's Summary 2-0
San Francisco Giants (loss)
San Diego Padres (loss)
Chicago Cubs (postponed)

Let's get some wins today.


Today's Picks
Los Angeles Angels (Even)
Cincinnati Reds (-140)

Damn, I thought we were going to finish 3-1 on Saturday but the Rangers blew it and gave up 4 runs at the top of the 9th which resulted in a loss. By the end of the day it left us with a disappointing 2-2 day. Not the worst I've seen, but definitely far from the best.


Saturday Summary 2-2
Texas Rangers (loss)
Detroit Tigers (win)
Cincinnati Reds (loss)
Philadelphia Phillies (win)

Here's what I have for Monday.

Today's Picks
San Diego Padres

Good win yesterday, but nothing fancy with just 1 pick. The Phillies really dominated the Giants and were able to come away with an easy victory 9-2.

Friday's Summary 1-0
Philadelphia Phillies (win)

Got more picks today so wanted to get these out before the games start. Let's look forward to some favorable results.

Free Picks Friday MLB

Happy Friday! Thought we were going to run away with the 2 wins yesterday, but the Nationals let us down and we're stuck with another 1-1 day. Not exactly what I was looking for but it leaves us dead even so no harm no foul.

Thursday's Summary 1-1
Washington Nationals (+125)
Texas Rangers (-135)

Took a look at the games today but I didn't really find much so as a result I only have one pick today.

Today's Pick 
Philadelphia Phillies (-130)

I feel like I should have known better about the Cardinals/ Brewers game, but what can I say, hindsight is always 20-20 right? Anyways, we finished yesterday with one win, one loss and came out pretty much even. It did put our little streak on a temporary break, but I'm not really too mad about it. Can't be too greedy in this game.

Wednesday's Summary 1-1
Minnesota Twins (win)
Saint Louis Cardinals (loss)

Win-Loss Record To Date: 36 - 19

I'll be putting up full picks for a couple more days so make sure you pay attention. Here are the teams I'm looking at today.

Today's Pick
Texas Rangers (-135)

Now that's what I'm talking about! Another perfect day yesterday, going 2-0 and extending my winning streak to 5. That should quiet the naysayers for now. The Marlins game was really close, but luckily for us we got a gift from above and the Marlins miraculously scored 2 runs in the 9th to gain the lead and eventually won the game 4-3. As for the other game, the Phillies blew out the Rockies 5-0 and became the first team this season to reach 70 wins.

Tuesday's Summary 2-0
Philadelphia Phillies (win)
Florida Marlins (win)

But today's a new day and we can't get reckless so we have to continue to pick carefully. Let's try to keep it rolling.


Today's Picks
Minnesota Twins (-105)
Saint Louis Cardinals (-105)

Free Picks MLB Tuesday

Yesterday resulted in a solid 3-0 winning day. Not a bad way to start the new week. All the games were really close yesterday and 2 of them even went into an extra inning. Pretty intense all around. If any of you had a chance to watch the Phillies game, it almost made my heart stop. The Phillies were down 2 at the top of the 9th, but thanks to a home run by J. Mayberry Jr.,  they score 2 runs to tie the game. Then the first batter for the Phillies, S. Victorino, scored with a home run at the top of the tenth and the Phillies went on the win the game. Amazing.  

Monday's Summary: 3 - 0

Cleveland Indians (win)
Philadelphia Phillies (win)
Houston Astros (win)

Let's get it going.

Free Picks Monday MLB

Good morning everyone!

It was a hectic weekend so I didn't get a chance to put any picks up, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a breather from the sub-par week. Friday's result didn't help either going 0-3. My worst day by far. But that's sports picking for you though, you're going to have bad weeks, but you got to keep on keeping on.

Looking to brush last week off and move on to this week with a better outcome.

Today's Picks
Cleveland Indians (+150)
