Daily Bread - 5/31


6-4-2 yesterday. Not bad! Pushed two point totals.

Good action today. Let's get right to it:


Penguins -1/2 (+115) Reg Only & Penguins -1/2 (+165) 1st Period -- Kind of thinking this is a home team series. Pens seem tough. I don't know anything about hockey. Should be a hell of a game, though.

Cubs Over Team Total 4.5 (-110) --  Yea yea, the Cubs are struggling. But, they have a track record of hammering the ball. Luis Perdomo has a track record of getting hammered.

Phillies/Marlins Over 7.5 (-115) -- Marlins are heating up. No Stanton today, but that doesn't matter. Phillies will scratch a few across in their own right.

Mets -1.5 (+120) -- deGrom all day. Bonus to those who can take his props over any amount of Ks today, too.

Cardinals ML (-120) -- Cards are hot, Martinez on the bump, think he handles the Dodgers.

Nats -1.5 (-110) -- Scherzer vs Matt Cain? Christmas comes early.

Astros ML (-130) -- Interesting matchup here with the Twins. 'Stros bringing up top 100 prospect David Paulino to start on the road. Here's to a pleasant debut.

Rays ML (-130) -- Archer vs a guy with a hyphenated last name. Seriously.

Tigers/Royals Under 9 (-105) -- Death, taxes and the Royals under.

Rockies/Mariners Over 7.5 (-115) -- 7.5!!!!!! Death, taxes and the Rockies over. James Paxton Shmames Paxton.

Good luck, let's gooooooooooooooo!

Daily Bread - 5/30/17

Howdy folks,

Been awhile. Not for any good reason, either. Too much time on Twitter, perhaps.

Anyways, I've been kicking around a couple of ideas for the blog that are mostly for my own records/good, but thought, 'what the hell, nobody reads me anyways', so I'm going to start a new series called Daily Bread. It's about gambling. On the reg.

Quick snippits about my picks for the day, a pic to prove it and I'll keep track of how I'm doing unit-wise.

Happy wage- umm.. prognosticating!


Marlins -1.5 (+170) over Phillies -- Easy pickin's here.. Marlins are due for a winning streak and Philly/Vin Velasquez are awful. Just ask my roto ERA/WHIP.

Pirates ML (-115) over DBacks -- Don't look now, but Pittsburgh's heating up and so are the Buccos. Arizona has been great to start the year, but their ancillary players are starting to slow down and the Golden Boy Paulie can only do so much on his own.

Brewers ML (-105) over Mets -- Literally never heard of Mets' starter Tyler Pill, and that's all I need to know about this one.

Brewers/Mets Over 9 (-110) -- See above. Also any pitcher for Milwaukee is ripe to get blasted in his own right.

Cubs/Padres Over 8.5 (-110) -- I've been on these low game totals in San Diego for a couple weeks now. Both pitchers are in the bigs for a cup of coffee and both offenses can be explosive.

Nationals ML (+100) over Giants -- Nats much better than SF even if their star player isn't fist fighting opposing pitchers.

Orioles ML (+125) over Yankees -- Pure value play here. Severino has been good for the Yanks, but he's no world beater and the O's can rake in Camden Yards. Also getting Adam Jones back tonight.

Tigers/Royals Under 9 (-110) -- Death, taxes and the Kansas City under. Plus Verlander tonight, plus bad weather. LOCK.

Astros/Twins Under 9 (-105) -- Mike Fiers isn't great, but this Twins offense is boom or bust and lately it's been more of the latter. Also, Jose Berrios has a great matchup against a tough but K-prone Houston offense. Playing my gut here after the Twins got beat by an 11-run 8th inning last night and thinking this one stays under.

Mariners/Rockies Over 11 (-105) -- Death, taxes and the Rockies over in Coors Field. Or away from Coors Field.

Angels -1.5 (+155) & Angels Over Team Total 4.5 (+105) -- Our homie Big Sexy Bartolo has had a tough start to the year. Even without Mike Trout, I'm banking on a couple home runs and BSB getting generally tagged around the yard tonight.

Good luck, let's gooooooooooooooooooooooo!
