I've been struggling a little bit but the games haven't been easy to predict lately. Tonight I hope to turn things around. Here are my picks today:
Nationals vs. Marlins under 7 $110 to win $100
- Henderson Alvarez is having a really good season. He has a 2.62 ERA on the season and has pitched in a lot of games that ended under 7. He has a 1.64 ERA at home and a 2.48 ERA in night games. In his last start against Washington he gave up just five hits and no runs in five innings. Stephen Strasburg hasn't had a great season but has a 3.67 ERA this season and 3.58 ERA over the last 30 days. I really wanted to take the Marlins in this one based on the pitching stats but I just can't bet against Stasburg.
Giants ML -115 $230 to win $200
- The Giants have lost five straight and Pittsburgh has won two straight and seven of their last ten games but Giants are only two games back in the division and won't lose every game the rest of the season. Its call regression to the mean. San Fran needs and win and what better time to do it than tonight! Tim Hudson is having a great season. He has a 2.65 ERA on the season, 2.76 ERA over the last 30 days and 1.97 ERA in night games. Liriano has struggled all year. He is just 2-7 with a 4.18 ERA. He has been pitching well over his last two starts so could pull a great performance but he has really struggled against San Fran in his career (7.20 ERA). I would consider the under 6.5 (EVEN) as well.
Tigers ML -160 $160 to win $100
- Detroit has a big pitching advantage with Sanchez vs. Quintana. These pitchers have pretty even stats this year but I like getting Detroit at only -160 with one of the best pitchers in the game going at home.
A's -210 $420 to win $200
- Oakland fought hard last night but came up short. Tonight they have a huge edge in the pitching and hitting departments. Samardzjia has a 2.80 ERA on the season. Houston's Feldman has struggled at home this year with a 5.37 ERA. He has a 6.34 ERA against Oakland in this career. He just pitched against the A's on July 24th and gave up nine hits and six runs in five innings in a 13-1 loss. The RL at -135 looks pretty attractive as well.

I have a few picks for tonight. I'm going with these tonight:
Rockies vs. Cubs over 7.5 $165 to win $150
- The wind is blowing in at around 10mph but I don't think this will affect the over/under too much tonight. Both pitchers are inexperienced and have ERA's of 5.00 and 7.20.
Rangers -155 $155 to win $100
- Yu Darish is pitching and the Rangers need a win.
Brewers +126 $100 to win $126
- Lohse is having another good year and he is 11-4 with a 3.07 ERA. He has a 2.92 career ERA against the Rays. Jake Odorizzi is just 6-8 with a 3.97 ERA.

I took most of the week off but I'll be posting a few picks this weekend. For tonight I am going with these:
Nationals vs. Reds under 7.5 -120 $240 to win $200
- Both teams have struggled to score runs this year and both pitchers have pitched very well this year. Roark is 9-6 with a 2.91 ERA. Simon is 7-4 with a 2.74 ERA. The wind is not a factor. This being a National league game I am going with the under.
Dbacks ML -120 $180 to win $150
- Kendrick has a 6.89 ERA over the past 30 days. He has a 5.45 ERA against Arizona. Philly is just 3-7 over their last ten games. Wade Miley is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA over the past 30 days. He is pitching outstanding right now and has a 2.25 career ERA against Philly and a 2.85 ERA on the road. Arizona is 6-4 over there last ten games.
Mariners RL +110 $200 to win $220
- King Felix is on the mound and he is having a great season. He is 11-2 with a 2.02 ERA. He has a 2.17 ERA at home and a 1.16 ERA over the past 30 days. For the O's, Gausman has a 5.59 ERA over the past 30 days. He's had some good starts and some bad starts so we'll see how he does tonight. I'll back the AL's best pitcher.

I took yesterday off. I was at a wedding all day. Saturday I didn't fare so well going 0-3 for -698. Overall I am now 12-8-2 for +$333. For tonight, I'm going with these games:
Pirates ML -105 $210 to win $200
- Pittsburgh has been playing good ball winning there games in a row. Edison Volquez is locked in right now. He is 4-0 with a 0.90 ERA over the last 30 days. For the Dodgers, RYU has just a 4.09 ERA over the last 30 days. Pittsburgh is very good at home going 32-20 on the season.
Marlins vs. Braves under 7 -105 $105 to win $100
- Julio Teheran loves pitching at home. He has a 1.23 ERA this year at home. He as a career 2.50 ERA against Miami. For the Marlins, Koehler has had his ups and down this year but has a 3.99 ERA on the season and a 3.62 career ERA against Atlanta.
Yankees -165 $330 to win $200
- For the Yanks, Shane Greene has been outstanding in his two starts this season going 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA. In his last game he pitched 7.1 innings giving up just four hits and no runs and striking out nine. And this was against a very good Baltimore team. NY won three straight. Texas is just 1-9 over their last ten games. They are really struggling right now. Their starting pitcher, Miles Mikolas has a 10.05 ERA on the season. This seems like a no brainer.
I may post a few more later games shortly.

Yesterday was going just fine until Josh Donaldson hit a 3 run homerun in the bottom of the ninth to help the A's win 5-4. That homerun contributed to me going 1-2-1 for -$235. It happens in this profession. Just need to pick myself up! Overall, I am 12-5-2 for +$1,031.
For today, here are my picks:
Giants vs. Marlins under 7.5 -120 $240 to win $200
- Tim Hudson is having another great year with a 2.87 ERA. He has struggled a bit over the last 30 days but has a 2.95 career ERA against Miami, 2.52 ERA on the road and 2.06 ERA in night games. On the other side, Henderson Alvarez has a 2.63 ERA on the season and three complete games. He has really good numbers over the past 30 days (3-1 with a 2.81 ERA). He has a home ERA of just 1.56.
Tigers G2 ML -175 $350 to win $200
- Detroit has a huge pitching edge in this game with Max Scherzer vs. Zach McAllister. Scherzer is 11-3 with a 3.35 ERA on the season and McAllister is just 3-5 with a 3-5 5.63 ERA. Scherzer has been really hot lately and has just a 1.61 ERA over the last 30 days. McAllister has a 5.02 career ERA against Detroit and a 6.46 ERA on the road.
Astros ML -108 $108 to win $100
- Hector Noesi pitches for the White Sox and he is not having a good season. He has a 3-7 record with a 5.26 ERA. He has a 7.27 ERA against Houston, a 5.15 ERA at home and a 4.63 ERA in night games. For the Astros, Dallas Keuchel is having a very good season going 9-5 with a 3.20 ERA and 3 complete games. In his last game against the White Sox he pitched 6.1 innings and gave up just four hits and two runs in the win. He has struggled a bit over the last 30 days so keep that in mind.

After the All Star break I am back. And I promise to start getting these picks in earlier in the day. It was just a really busy day. But here are the games I'm going with today:
Tigers -160 $320 to win $200
- Detroit is home where they weren't as good (25-22) but Cleveland has been bad on the road (18-28). Sanchez is a big game pitcher and one of the best in the league in my opinion. He has a 2.34 career ERA against Cleveland and has a 2.48 ERA in night games. Bauer is bad on the road with a 5.48 ERA. He also has a 4.38 career ERA against Detroit and a 4.19 ERA in night games. Go with Detroit in this one.
A's vs. O's under 7.5 $115 to win $100
- Chris Tillman has been pitching very well of late with a 2.36 ERA over his last 30 days. He also boasts a 1.96 career ERA against Oakland. He hasn't pitched well on the road or in night games so take that into account but those are minor stats. For Oakland, Jeff Samardzija has pitched great this year (2.78 ERA). He has pitched well in the AL so far giving up just four runs in 15 innings. He has a 2.61 ERA in night games.
Mariners vs. Angels under 7.5 -120 $240 to win $200
- This pitching match-up is hard to ignore. Weaver has been on fire lately. He posts a 2.73 ERA over the last 30 days. He pitches really well at home (2.67 ERA). Iwakuma has a 2.98 ERA on the season. Over his last three starts he has given up just three runs over 21.2 innings. Oh, and he also has a career 1.49 ERA against the Angels.
Cubs vs. Dbacks over 9 -105 $210 to win $200
- Cahill has a 1-6 record with a 5.66 ERA. He hasn't pitched since June 6. Jackson has a 5-10 record with a 5.64 ERA. Over the last 30 days he has a 7.67 ERA. This game is being played in a hitter's park. Take the over with confidence.

No picks again today as it's the home run derby. I did put a few wagers on the matchups, NL winning and Stanton or Cespedes to win but there really isn't much analysis needed in this one. I was 3-0 on Saturday for +416. Overall I am now 11-3-1 for +$1,366.

I took the day off yesterday. I have had a good start going 1-0 for +200 on Thursday. Overall I am 8-3-1 for +950. Here is what I'm going with today:
Braves ML -120 $120 to win $100
- Edwin Jackson has been very bad over the past 30 days going 1-3 with a 6.00 ERA in 27 innings. Mike Minor hasn't been much better (4.91 ERA over last 30 days) but he is a much better pitcher and I like his competitive drive. He's coming off a very good start against the Mets where he pitched seven innings and gave up just two hits and two runs. The Braves are tied for first place and the Cubs are in last.
Cardinals ML -135 $270 to win $200
- I'm really liking these odds with Adam Wainwright on the hill. Wainwright has a 1.79 ERA on the season and a miniscule 0.59 ERA over the last 30 days! He has a career 2.17 ERA against the Brewers and has pitched very well on the road this year (1.32 ERA). If he pitches well today I think he'll start in the All-Star game. For the Brewers, Jimmy Nelson is making just his second start of the season. Nelson had very good numbers in triple A but I would rather go with experience over potential in this one.
Tigers ML +116 $100 to win $116
- The Tigers have been hot winning 7 of there last 10 games and four in a row. Rick Porcello has been very good over the last 30 days (2.45 ERA). James Shields hasn't pitched as well over the last 30 days (4.50) and he has poor career numbers against Detroit (4.49 ERA) and in night games (4.66 ERA). He is however coming off a very strong start against the Rays (7 innings, 3 hits, 0 R) so I couldn't go too crazy with his potential.

I went 1-1-1 yesterday and broke even. Overall I am 7-3-1 for +750. I only have one game tonight and here it is folks:
Nationals vs. Orioles under 8.5 -115 $230 to win $200
- The 8.5 seems a bit too high considering the caliber of pitcher going tonight. Gio Gonzalez has a 1.38 ERA over the last 30 days. He has a 2.41 ERA in night games and has decent numbers against Baltimore in his career (3.75 ERA). For Baltimore, Chen is just always consistant and normally doesn't give up more than 3 earned runs in his starts. His ERA is always around 4.00. Which means he gives up 3 ER in 7 innings. He has a 3.62 ERA in night games. Under should be good here.
If I were to do other games I would look at these:
Mets vs. Braves under 7
Pirates RL
Dodgers RL
Yanks/Indians over 8

Well day two was good as I went 3-1 for +350. Overall I am 6-2 for +750. For today I am going with these late games:
A's RL +130 $150 to win $175
- Oakland landed a very good pitcher in Jason Hammel. Hammel is 8-5 with a 2.98 ERA on the season. He has pitched well in his last three starts and has a lifetime 3.02 ERA against San Fran in his career. Oakland has been hot all year and are 7-3 over their last ten games and have won six straight. They have a very good 27-18 road record. The Giants are just 3-7 over their last ten games and are just 25-23 at home. Matt Cain just isn't as good as he used to be. He is 0-4 with a 5.58 ERA over the last 30 days. Not so good.
A's vs. Giants over 7 EVEN $100 to win $100
- Both teams can hit and Matt Cain is not very good. I think we see some scoring in this one.
Twins vs. Mariners over 7.5 $165 to win $150
-Both Kyle Gibson and Roenis Elias haven't pitched well over the last 30 days. Elias has a 5.79 ERA and Gibson has 4.85 ERA over that span. Gibson has a very poor 5.54 ERA on the road and 4.82 in night games. Elias has a 5.09 ERA in night games and he gave up four earned runs in his last start against the Twins. Both teams can hit and I think they put it together tonight.

Well it was a good start yesterday as I went 3-1 for +$400. With baseball, you are going to have some ups and downs and a lot of unexpected things happen but as long as I do my research I feel good about putting my money where my mouth is. Or something like that....
For tonight, I'm starting with this:
Yankees RL Even $150 to win $150
- Its hard taking a road team that is this much of a favorite but its hard to deny the pitching of Masahiro Tanaka. The man is having a great season in his first year in the MLB going 12-3 with a 2.27 ERA. Cleveland hasn't faced him yet and that gives him an even bigger edge in this one. New York has been playing great ball going 4-1 over their last five games (all on the road). Cleveland has played very well at home this year (25-17) but they are just 5-5 over their last ten games. Trevor Bauer has had his moments this year but is just 2-4 with a 4.42 ERA and the Yankees have a lot of good left-handed bats in their lineup. Bauer has given up at least three earned runs in all of his last six starts.
Ok, so I lost the Yankees game but I have an opportunity to get it back on the late games. Here is what I'm going with.
Blue Jays +1.5 -140 $140 to win $100
- R.A Dickey has pitched well over the last 30 days. The Blue Jays have lost five games in a row and they need a win bad. This just seems like a good night to do it against Tyler Skaggs who has only one start over the last 30 days and has a 5.80 ERA at home this season. This is a tough one as I think it could go either way but I like getting points in this one with good odds.
Twins vs. Mariners under 7.5 -120 $240 to win $200
- Both teams are not hitting that well and both pitchers have been pitching well this year. Phil Hughes hasn't pitched very well over his last two starts but he does have a 2.59 ERA on the road and has a respectable 3.67 career ERA against Seattle. In his last start against the Mariners he went 7 innings and gave up just three hits and no runs. Chris Young has a 2.40 ERA over the past 30 days. He has a 2.19 ERA at home this year.
A's -155 $310 to win $200
Sonny Gray has pitched well all season and has a 3.20 ERA at home and a 2.98 ERA in night games. He is coming off a very strong start against Toronto where he gave up just one run in seven innings. Bumgarner has pitched well but not great of late (4.09 ERA over last 30 days). He has a career 5.68 ERA against Oakland. Oakland has won 5 straight and are playing very well and have a very good 29-15 home record. San Fran is going the opposite direction losing seven of their last three games.

Trevor Bauer has had his moments this year but is just 2-4 with a 4.42 ERA and the Yankees have a lot of good left-handed bats in their lineup. Bauer has given up at least three earned runs in all of his last six starts.
Ok, so I lost the Yankees game but I have an opportunity to get it back on the late games. Here is what I'm going with.
Blue Jays +1.5 -140 $140 to win $100
- R.A Dickey has pitched well over the last 30 days. The Blue Jays have lost five games in a row and they need a win bad. This just seems like a good night to do it against Tyler Skaggs who has only one start over the last 30 days and has a 5.80 ERA at home this season. This is a tough one as I think it could go either way but I like getting points in this one with good odds.
Twins vs. Mariners under 7.5 -120 $240 to win $200
- Both teams are not hitting that well and both pitchers have been pitching well this year. Phil Hughes hasn't pitched very well over his last two starts but he does have a 2.59 ERA on the road and has a respectable 3.67 career ERA against Seattle. In his last start against the Mariners he went 7 innings and gave up just three hits and no runs. Chris Young has a 2.40 ERA over the past 30 days. He has a 2.19 ERA at home this year.
A's -155 $310 to win $200
Sonny Gray has pitched well all season and has a 3.20 ERA at home and a 2.98 ERA in night games. He is coming off a very strong start against Toronto where he gave up just one run in seven innings. Bumgarner has pitched well but not great of late (4.09 ERA over last 30 days). He has a career 5.68 ERA against Oakland. Oakland has won 5 straight and are playing very well and have a very good 29-15 home record. San Fran is going the opposite direction losing seven of their last three games.

July 7, 2014 Sports Picks
Hey everyone, this is Jonny and I'm back. I'm going to be doing sports picks through the end of the baseball season and obviously for football. For tonight's MLB games I am going with the following:
Cardinals ML -180 $360 to win $200
- Adam Wainwright is on the mound at home so why not make my first bet with one of the MLB's best pitchers. Wainwright is 11-4 with a 1.89 ERA on the season. Over the last 30 days, Wainwright is on fire going 3-1 with a 0.59 ERA. Over his last four starts he has given up just two earned runs. He is also much better in night games (1.43 ERA). The Cardinals are good at home going 24-19. For Pittsburgh, Charlie Morton has had a below average season going 5-9 with a 3.30 ERA. He hasn't been much better over the last 30 days (3-2, 3.27 ERA). Pittsburgh as been hot of late winning three straight and eight of their last ten.
Red Sox RL -115 $115to win $100
- Boston has had a rough season so far but they are still in it at this point despite the 39-49 record. They have played close to .500 at home and each game is important if they want to repeat as champs. Boston has a pitching advantage in this game. Clay Bucholtz looked like he was back in form after his last start pitching 6 1/3 innings while giving up just five hits, one run and no walks. For Chicago, Scott Carroll has been bad all year going 2-5 with a 5.05 ERA. Over the last 30 days he has a 5.60 ERA. Hopefully they get this game in tonight.
Angels RL +115 $100 to win $115
- The Angels are 7-3 over their last ten (and won four straight) and the Blue Jays are 3-7 over the last ten (and lost four straight). Jerad Weaver has been pitching well. Weaver is much better at home (2.75 ERA) and has very good numbers against Toronto in his career (9-2, 3.48 ERA). Happ has struggled on the road (5.14 ERA) and against the Angels in his career (9.45 ERA).
Mariners RL -110 $220 to win $200
- Seattle is playing good ball right now (6-4 over their last 10) and they have a nice pitching advantage with Iwakuma (6-4, 3.33) vs. Correia (4-10, 4.95 ERA). The Twins have been struggling and are just 3-7 over their last ten. Correia has pitched well over the last 30 days (2.40 ERA) but really struggles in night games (6.37 ERA) and this is a late game. His career ERA against Seattle is just 6.65. Oh, and Iwakuma has amazing numbers against the Twins in his career (0.00 ERA in 26.2 innings!).
