Today's Picks

-TOR Blue Jays v PHI Phillies Under 8.0 (-115) | 0.5 Units

-CHI Cubs v KC Royals Over 9.0 (-120) | 0.25 Units

-DET Tigers v SF Giants Over 8.5 (+100) | 0.25 Units

-DET Tigers -1.5 (+125) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

TOR Blue Jays v PHI Phillies: This is an easy pick for me, friends. Both Jose Soriano (3.29 ERA) and Zack Wheeler (2.49 ERA) are solid pitchers, and to say that the Blue Jays offense is struggling would be an understatement. In addition, Soriano is better on the road than he is at home – I think he’ll be able to keep the Philly offense in check. Take the Under to hit.

‍

DET Tigers v SF Giants: The Tigers have been putting way too many runs on the board for me to think this total stays low. Hell, Detroit has been cashing “Over” projections all by themselves. At the time of writing, San Francisco has yet to decide who their starter for today will be, but to be frank, it doesn’t matter. The Giants’ offense has been on the struggle bus for quite some time now, and the Tigers’ last 6 straight wins have been by at least two. With their offense taking down some of the best, I’m on the Over to hit, and I’ll toss a nice chunk of change on Detroit to cover the RL for a solid plus-money return.

‍

CHI Cubs v KC Royals: Between the Cubs starting Kevin Gausman and the Royals playing a bullpen game, this encounter has the potential to go to the moon total-wise. Gausman has been brutal this season; so despite being the underdog in today’s game, I won’t be surprised if the Royals do far better than expected. I think both clubs will manage to get at least 4 on the board, so I’m on the Over to cash.

First Sips

‍

Good morning, all! Ahh, I’m thrilled that yesterday’s Pick of the Day cashed. If you tailed, a big congrats to you. I can’t believe we’re in August already – gearing up for the Fall sports season is always my favourite. I feel like the community calms down a bit during the Summer while MLB dominates our programming…and then boom! Things get crazy busy again a week before football kicks off. That said, I’ve got plenty of new things coming down the pipes for the first week of September; brace yourselves 😉 New tiers, new software…all fun things to make our humble abode a little more personal (and easier to use!) Alright friends, on to today’s play…

Today's Picks

-DET Tigers v SEA Mariners Over 7.5 (-120) | 0.5 Units

-ARI Diamondbacks ML (-105) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

DET Tigers v SEA Mariners: I’ve gotta roll with a higher-scoring affair here, friends. 4 of Framber Valdez’s (4.41 ERA) last 5 outings have found their way beyond 8 runs, and while Bryce Miller (2.80 ERA) is great at home, 4 of his last 5 starts have resulted in a Mariners loss. To boot, the Tigers’ offense has been wildly efficient for a couple weeks now; I’m not in a rush to bet against their fire power. I’m on the Over to cash.

‍

SD Padres v ARI Diamondbacks: The sample size for Kohl Drake (4.05 ERA) isn’t massive - but the man allowed a mere 1 run in his last home start. On the other side, Walker Buehler (5.74 ERA) has brought in 4 straight victories for the Padres, but he’s allowed far more runs over his last few games than I’d like to see in a matchup like this. The Diamondbacks’ offense has really turned up for the second half of this season; I’m gonna put my money on the home squad to win tonight.

Good morning, friends! And, Happy NFL Pre-Season Day 🙌🏽 I’m so excited, it hurts. I’m also thrilled to report that “Belles of the Ball”, our NFL Fantasy League, is officially full! Let the chaos commence. To those participating, may the odds be ever in my favour 😂 If you’re looking to follow along, just hop into the Discord and check out the Fantasy League channel. As for yesterday’s picks, we only actually had one play on the board…and we cashed! A big congratulations to everyone that tailed. Alright, I’ll keep this brief as games are coming down the pipes early today. On to Pick of the Day…

Blech – I dislike the majority of today’s schedule, friends. I try not to have these days too often, but the first couple of days after the trade deadline tend to be a bit of a wildcard. That said, Pick of the Day is our only play today.

Picks, props and parlays will be back as per usual tomorrow 😊

First Sips

Good morning, friends – I hope you’re caffeinated! We’ve got some early games today, and now that the MLB trade deadline has passed, baseball news has quieted down a bit. That said, I wanted to use my “first sips” today to express my gratitude – if you’re reading this newsletter, thank you so much for your support! Whether you’re a free user or a paid subscriber, I appreciate you being a part of our humble community. 📊 A fun FYI: my Sports Betting Tracker is 50% off for TODAY ONLY (use code at checkout: TRACKER50)! If you’re looking to get serious about building your bankroll and tracking your wagers, I’d highly recommend checking it out. I’m thrilled to report it’s gotten rave reviews over the last few months 🤩🙌🏼 Go grab it before today’s games, set it up over your second coffee (lol…) and get tracking! Alright everyone, on to today’s play… 

Pick of the Day

-TB Rays v COL Rockies Under 11.5 (-115) | 0.5 Units

As much as I love a high-scoring affair at Coors Field, I can’t confidently say that this game sees 12 runs this afternoon. Tomoyuki Sugano (4.47 ERA) is arguably one of Colorado’s most capable pitchers at home, and Tampa starter Nick Martinez has been pitching “lights out” for most of this season (I’d say his last start against Chicago was an outlier…). The last 2 games in this series have gone well beyond 12, but this will be the exception. I’m going to roll with the Under here, friends.
