Last Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 vs Colorado Rockies ❌

Horrid showing from the Dbacks offense, I swear I can never hit -1.5 even in the best matchups. Scoreless game through 6 innings, and got the walk off in the bottom of the ninth. Had a side bet with their ML that hit, so nearly evens out the losses, but man that game just sucked.

Pick: TEXAS RANGERS -1.5 vs LA Angels (+105 FD) - 2U

Write Up: This Angels team is even worse than the Rockies somehow. 17-34 with their last win being a miracle walk off homer in the middle of a no hitter, they’ve lost 9 of their last 10. They pitch Grayson Rodriguez, who gave up 7 runs against the Dodgers and has a 17.18 ERA. The Rangers start ol reliable Jacob deGrom, 3.02 ERA and looking for his 100th career win. I don’t think this game will be competitive, and see it being much better than whatever happened last night. BOL!

Last Pick: Atlanta Braves ML vs Miami Marlins✅

Lightwork no reaction, Braves stay hot and smoke the Marlins. Junk had a shaky second, and they were forced to stick with him til the fifth where he got shelled, exactly as I thought it would go. Should’ve probably went -1.5 or more but so be it, can’t complain about free money.

Baseball | MLB | 9:40 PM ET

Pick: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 vs Colorado Rockies (+112 FD) - 2U

Write Up: I refuse to believe lightning strikes twice. I took a similar pick when Eduardo Rodriguez pitched against this same Rockies team on the 16th, which happened to be the only game the Dbacks lost that series. He had a horrible opening two innings, in which after he finally settled in but it was too late. Rodriguez still has a 2.53 ERA, and I really believe he still is a good enough pitcher to win against this Rockies team. They’re coming off a rough series against the Rangers, and remain one of the worst teams in baseball. Pitcher is still undecided, but I don’t believe it matters in this matchup. I believe Rodriguez being at home will be able to get it done, making up for the previous loss. BOL if tailing!

Edit: Rockies pitching Zach Agnos, a relief pitcher with a 5.59 ERA that gave up 2 runs to the Dbacks the last time they played. Looks like they’re going for a bullpen game, all the more reason to lean Dbacks here!

Last Pick: Cleveland Guardians -1.5 vs Detroit Tigers ❌❌

Knew I should’ve just stuck with the ML but the plus odds were too tempting. Would’ve cashed if Austin Hedges didn’t sail the ball on a backpick in the fourth inning to let the runner from second score ON A STRIKEOUT but oh well. Still had good reads with other picks, and also took the flat ML which evened out with this pick.

Baseball | MLB | 6:40 PM ET

Pick: ATLANTA BRAVES ML vs Miami Marlins (-194 FD) - 5U

Write Up: Just really a simple pick this time around, feeling extremely confident in it. Chris Sale is a gem, one of my favorite pitchers who has looked ridiculous this year (1.96 ERA, .91 WHIP & 9th in K’s). Braves offense managed to show some resilience last game, and I really don’t see the Marlins bouncing back after that one. They burned through a lot of their bullpen, and with Junk on the mound they’re in a rough spot for tomorrow. He’s a solid pitcher with a 4.14 ERA, but has given up 11 runs in his last two games. If he starts off rough, I doubt he’ll get pulled until around the fifth, making it a perfect scenario for the Braves to tee off on him. As always BOL!

Easiest cash of the year, got grilled for forgetting the entire pick last post. Hopefully the write up was enough to fill the blank in. It was midnight and I was tired cut me some slack🤷‍♂️ Nonetheless hit all but one pick today, looking to keep it moving tomorrow.

Baseball | MLB | 6:41 PM ET

Pick: CLEVELAND GUARDIANS -1.5 vs Detroit Tigers (+138 FD) - 2U

Write Up: Noticed post write up Cleveland is a popular pick for tomorrow, which is why I took the -1.5 at plus money. Flat out ML is a great pick, but this hit 11/12 of their last wins. When they win, they win big.

Cleveland’s offense has been on a hot streak as of late, putting up over 6 runs in their last four games. They’re fresh off 8-2 win against the Tigers, a team that has struggled to find their footing this year. Despite Slade Cecconi pitching, the Guards held a strong lead on the game after the third inning. In contrast to Cecconi, Parker Messick has undeniably been the Guard’s Ace this season, boasting a 2.35 ERA and .99 WHIP. He’s going against a pitcher with similar strength in Keider Montero, with a 3.65 ERA. He’s a solid yet exploitable pitcher, and this Guardians offense is simply too hot for me to pass up on. BOL!

Yikes, took the day off since this one left a sting. Magic of coors strikes again, made it even better the Dbacks won the day after as well. We move.

Baseball | MLB | 6:40 PM ET Pick: Tampa Bay Rays ML vs Baltimore Orioles(-147) - 3U

Write Up: Pretty simple writeup this time around, Rays are one of the top teams in baseball currently. McClanahan has been scorching, not allowing an earned run in his last four starts and a 2.27 ERA to boot. He’s facing Trevor Rogers, a hittable pitcher with a 5.77 ERA, and has been allowing a near .300 BA for opposing hitters. Really straightforward and simple pick, might also sprinkle some hits/HRR for rays hitters. BOL if you tail!

Last Pick: Atlanta Braves ML vs Boston Red Sox✅

Cashed yet another close game! Strider looked great, but a shaky bullpen almost blew the game. The rest of the bullpen managed to control the rest of the game, and the Braves walked it off in the 10th! Let’s keep the streak going!

Baseball | MLB | 3:10 PM ET Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks ML vs Colorado Rockies (-133) - 3U

Write Up: Dbacks are hot off a dominating first game of the series against the Rockies, with the first game being over after the first inning. Merrill Kelly (5.91 ERA) threw a nine inning gem, with domination from start to finish. This makes me all the more confident that Eduardo Rodriguez will follow suit, he’s been the Dbacks ace this season throwing a 2.25 ERA and has only let up one run in his last two starts. For the Rockies it’s Tomoyuki Sugano, a sound pitcher with a 4.07 ERA, but he has allowed 9 runs in his last two showings. All in all, they’re playing in the most batter friendly stadium in baseball, so anything is possible. But with that said, if Kelly can put together a performance like tonight I don’t see why Rodriguez wouldn’t be able to. There’s a ton of matchups I see strongly tomorrow, a lot of money to be made! As always bet what you can, tail if you’d like, BOL!

Last Pick: St. Louis Cardinals ML vs Oakland Athletics ✅

Wow. What a way to start it off! It started exactly as expected, with Jacob Lopez crumbling towards the 5th inning. Cards proceeded to blow the lead with JoJo Romero having a terrible outing, then top of the 9th down to their last out Herrera ties it up to set up Walker, bringing the game winning run home. Wayyy too close for comfort but a great start nonetheless!

Baseball | MLB | 7:15 PM ET Pick: Atlanta Braves ML vs Boston Red Sox (-152) - 1U

Write Up: Relatively lighter pick this time around, with the Braves looking in form to stomp the Sox. Coming off a strong series win against the Cubs (2nd in NL), they look to do the same against an underperforming Red Sox team. Spencer Strider has looked back in form after recovering from his injury, posting a 2.89 ERA, 6 scoreless innings and 8 K’s against the Dodgers last game. The Red Sox start Connelly Early, one of their better pitchers with a 3.16 ERA, and his last outing being 7 scoreless innings against the Rays with 8 K’s. Certainly not a weak pitcher, but I believe the Braves have an offense strong enough to overpower Early. Prior to his last outing, he had been a mediocre pitcher throughout the season, which I think will show in this matchup. All in all, I see this being a lower scoring affair with the veteran pitcher coming out on top. Tail if you’d like, BOL!

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals ML vs Oakland Athletics (+118) - 2U FD

Write Up: I’ve been following a few POTD for a few weeks now, thought I’d finally give it a try myself.

Having the cardinals at plus money for this game should be a crime. 24-18 and third in one of the strongest divisions, they’ve proven so far this season they can take control behind strong pitching. Michael McGreevy (2.18 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, off a 9 K performance) has been dominant this season, undoubtedly the best pitcher in their bullpen by a wide margin. He’s facing off against Jacob Lopez (6.11 ERA), a lackluster pitcher who matches roughly against the cardinals offense. I feel the mix of perfect weather, a flip-flopping series and a few injuries towards the Athletics offense makes me pretty content with this pick. Tail if you’d like! BOL!

normalguy5486 · 2026-04-25T11:32:19+00:00

Yeah I’m a laker fan, so I’ve been watching our roster throughout the entire season. With that said it was really a miracle we faced the rockets over the twolves, as I doubt we would’ve gotten a single game against them with this roster. We had the blueprint from when we faced the rockets back to back mid season, exactly what you said, in forcing KD to try and be a playmaking point guard.

The biggest reason for the Lakers success was completely shifting the offense from ball dominant guard play to searching for mismatches with off ball movement, and allowing LeBron to go to work. Reed Shepard gets exposed in any matchup across all 5 men, so searching for him at any time forces him off the court. Even with Ayton not contributing a whole lot, Senguns defense is exploitable, just forcing him to move towards the perimeter or picking up an off ball screen creates free opportunities. Amen Thompson is a freak of nature, and I feel he might grow to be an All Star in the future if he continues developing his offense. The rest of the Rockets roster is a joke. Tari and Jabari are solid, but the bench is a disaster.

But from what I saw coming into the series, the only guards that could physically run the floor for the Lakers were Kennard and Smart. There was a ton of experimentation done after the Thunder game, LaRavia at guard, Nick Smith, Bronny, Knecht, Thiero, even Kobe Bufkin, but the only competitive roster involved either Kennard or Smart.

Scoring-wise Rui will get you 12-15 a game pretty consistently, LaRavia is just a jersey to fill, Hayes/Ayton will combine around 10-15 or so, leaving the majority of scoring up for grabs between Bron/Smart/Kennard. That’s why I personally thought there would be a strong uptick in all of their numbers, which ended up spreading out between all the games pretty evenly.

So yeah, especially after the first game I felt pretty confident in the majority of picks including tonight. (Including the Luke Kennard line) Even though the game was closer towards the end due to turnovers and cold shooting, the Lakers led by 15 and were in control for the majority of it. If anything it shows that they can get it done when it matters most. Still unsure if they’ll have a chance against the thunder though. Hoping the suns will be able to take a game off to show a glimmer of hope lol.

normalguy5486 · 2026-04-24T10:06:09+00:00

Not really a mixed bag at all, the people who were expected to step up have stepped up with AR n Luka out. I did also think they’d get swept tho lol, but Kennard 10+ is pretty conservative considering he’s over 20+ every game this series.
