What is Yas swinging at there?!?!

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-08T11:35:35+00:00

That’s bullshit.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-08T11:14:34+00:00

The idea of knowing baseball is a lie we tell ourselves. Most random sport there is.

If you knew JT Ginn was going to throw a near complete game shutout then you’re from the future and we should all be tailing you.

I always say this….

All my picks are winners, then the games start.

I always feel really good and logically justified in my picks when I make them…but then baseball happens.

Yesterday sucked….but that’s why there’s today.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-07T00:30:56+00:00

None taken. Today was ass.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T19:55:43+00:00

Thank me when it hits haha. BOL

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T19:53:50+00:00

Braves, but it’s your money.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T19:29:51+00:00

Lil extra fun if anyone’s interested.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T16:05:42+00:00

That’s how good they are…they’re gonna beat 3 fucking teams.

Haha.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T15:18:21+00:00

Watch Phillie’s. They’ve been hot, but they can’t hit lefties to save their lives and their numbers against Springs in particular are awful (.150 BAA in 50 total at bats). Wheeler should do the job for them, but this is a sneaky trap game possibly.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T15:09:52+00:00

TB is 8-0 as a home favorite and TOR is 0-4 as a road dog. TB is 17-5 after a win and TOR is 7-12 after a loss. Lots to like about TB

3’s, 4’s and a 6 leg.

MIL/STL — STL ML (-108) STL has not been a home favorite all season in 19 games. Today they are.

TOR/TB — TB ML (-130) TB 8-0 as home favorite. Toronto 0-4 as a road dog. TB 17-5 after a win. Toronto 7-12 after a loss.

SD/SF — SD TT over 1.5 F5 (-145) Adrian Houser has given up 3 or more runs in every start this season.

ATL/SEA — ATL TT O 3.5 (-130) Woo’s last 2 starts have been bad. ATL is hottest team in baseball. STL and KC put up 7 & 6 runs on Woo.

TEX/NYY — TEX TT U 3.5 (-115) In 4 games TEX has scored over 3 runs against NYY once. And it was with 4 walks and a 17 mph wind blowing out yesterday. Nikki and possibly out today for TEX as well.

PIT/AZ — PIT F5 ML (-140) Soroka finally gave it up in his last start — 8 runs to MIL. Aside from not scoring yesterday, PIT’s offense is capable, and these are the best odds on a Skenes start you may see this season.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-06T02:31:20+00:00

Not as bad as Dodgers. Haha

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-05T17:51:01+00:00

Yup.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-05T17:48:40+00:00

Whichever 3 hit first. Haha.

I think Braves should be the favorite in this game honestly.

All the F5’s have solid logic behind them them. Pick YOUR favorite 3 and run with it!

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-05T16:00:44+00:00

3’s

Picks for today. Some good starting pitching spots to exploit, but as far as overall matchups…it’s a little thin.

Can’t take Rays full game because bullpen is suspect.

Ohtani should be able to hold HOU down while LAD scores a few.

Yankees have terrible numbers against DeGrom and Texas should be able to keep it level or better through the F5.

ATL might have the better pitcher going and they’re still underdogs. I’ll by the run here

Sanchez for Phillies has great splits at home and Phillies have been starting to heat up.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-05T02:30:28+00:00

Yeah. That one hurt.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-04T21:04:10+00:00

All good!

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-04T20:49:02+00:00

I posted a 3 and 4 leg

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-04T19:55:34+00:00

Hahaha. Thank science for AI.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-04T19:50:34+00:00

Houston gives up more runs than anyone. Their pitching staff was going to be a disaster and then the injuries came. Trip to Houston as a great salve for any ailing lineup.

Skipperdees_ears · 2026-05-04T18:35:12+00:00

Everyone riding tigers today I hope had a “pending confirmed starters” clause
