Well this was a strange day for picks, friends! Comically, half of my picks & props for today ended up getting voided due to rain 😅 Which in turn, means I'm extra grumpy about 'Pick of the Day' not cashing...

‍

I can't believe the Astros managed to get themselves shutout with Mike Burrows on the mound. On the other side, while the Pirates did bag some runs, getting a mere 3 past starter Ryan Gusto is ridiculous – both of today's starters should've gotten lit up. Just one of those days, I suppose. Quite a few upsets on the board this afternoon, so I don't feel too terrible about my other picks getting squashed by the weather!

‍

On another note, I wanted to say a big, warm welcome to all of the new people that have signed up over the last couple of days! I'm so grateful that you're here (on my brand new platform!) – I can't wait to show you all what I have in store for our new home 🏡😉

‍

✨ A quick couple of notes for the newbies:

- "Pick of the Day" goes out by 9:30AM PST (Pacific Standard Time)

- If you're looking for some betting tips and the occasional pep talk, I post some free tidbits to my YouTube channel!

- If you're really new to sports betting, you can check out my online course here: https://betwithbelle.com

‍

Usually I've got much more to talk about, friends – but given that half of our slate was voided, I'll keep this recap short & sweet. Tomorrow's a new day – and as always, I'll see you all bright and early with picks, props and parlays!

‍

Until then... 😴

P.S. – HOW ABOUT THOSE EDMONTON OILERS? 👏🏽😆

Today's Picks

-HOU Astros v PIT Pirates Over 9.5 (alternate total) (-115) | 0.5 Units

-KC Royals ML (+110) | 0.25 Units

-KC Royals v STL Cardinals Under 8.5 (-120) | 0.25 Units

-MIN Twins v The Athletics Over 10.5 (-105) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

KC Royals v STL Cardinals: This is a tough one, I admit – but Noah Cameron (1.05 ERA) hasn’t allowed more than 1 run in each of his last 4 outings. So tough as this game might be, it’s even harder to bet against a record like that in my opinion (and for plus money, no less). I’ll take the Under to hit and Kansas City to pull off a win.  

‍

HOU Astros v PIT Pirates: I’m taking a slight alternate here for a better price, friends. I just can’t get on board with -125…especially given how big a travesty this pitching matchup is (lol). Pittsburgh starter Mike Burrows’ last (and only…) 2 outings have seen final scores of 13 runs or more. On the other side, Astros starter Ryan Gusto is a logged 3-2, but his last 5 straight outings have seen Houston take an L – I imagine money on the Pirates is heavy today. That said, I do think the Astros will run up a healthy total on Pittsburgh here, and the Pirates should find more than a couple opportunities to score – I’m on this alternate Over to cash.

‍

MIN Twins v The Athletics: I have to take the Over here, no other play makes sense. Twins starter Zebby Matthews (6.43 ERA) has allowed 10 runs over just 14 innings, and Jeffrey Springs’ (4.72 ERA) last two outings have seen totals of at least 14 runs (wtf?) My money’s on a high-scoring affair here.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thrilled with this result – we made a small fortune this evening. But to my free tier, I'm so sorry POTD was a miss! Both Baltimore & Seattle had plenty of opportunity to bag runs. I'm particularly stunned that the Mariners didn't blow past the Orioles bullpen.

A massive congratulations to everyone that tailed my other picks – and f*** yeah to the Player Props sweep! I rarely put out 4 props, but I loved all of those equally 😂 I'm glad it worked out.

Alright friends, that's all for tonight. Enjoy your wins – and as always, I'll see you bright and early to do it all again! ☕️

Happy Tuesday, friends! Here's today's Premium Parlay – best of luck, and I hope we cash.

‍

Parlay (+930) | 0.20 Units

-MIN Twins v The Athletics Over 9.5 (-150) (alternate total)

-CHI Cubs ML (-155)

-COL Rockies v MIA Marlins Over 8.0 (-120)

-NY Yankees -1.5 (+105)

Today’s Picks

-CHI Cubs -1.5 (+105) | 0.25 Units

-PHI Phillies v TOR Blue Jays Over 9.0 (+100) | 0.25 Units

-TEX Rangers v TB Rays Under 8.0 (-115) | 0.25 Units

-BAL Orioles v SEA Mariners Over 7.5 (-120) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

CHI Cubs v WAS Nationals: I’ve gotta take the Cubs here. While Washington starter Trevor Williams (5.69 ERA) had a nice outing against the Mariners, he allowed 16 earned runs in his 4 games prior to that. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Cade Horton is 2-0, and each of his starts this season has resulted in a Cubs victory. My money’s on Chicago to cover the RL for a nice price on the road.

‍

PHI Phillies v TOR Blue Jays: 4 of Bowden Francis’ last 5 outings have resulted in game totals of at least 9 runs; with a 6.43 Home ERA, I think there’s a good chance he lives up to that statistic today. Having said that, the Blue Jays have won their last 5 straight games and their offense has been absolutely cooking having bagged at least 8 runs over 4 of those 5. Curious as I am to see who comes out on top for this encounter, I don’t doubt that the Over cashes.

‍

TEX Rangers v TB Rays: Both of today’s pitchers are incredibly capable; I expect both squads to struggle to put runs on the board. 4 of both Tyler Mahle (1.64 ERA) & Drew Rasmussen’s (2.33 ERA) last 5 outings have seen game totals of Under 6 runs. Expect this encounter to be a bit of a pitching duel. I’m on the Under to hit.

‍

BAL Orioles v SEA Mariners: I don’t love the Orioles offense – but Mariners pitcher George Kirby (11.42 ERA) has only had two starts and both of them saw him earn at least 5 runs with final game totals of at least 9. Kirby’s last start saw Seattle get shutout by the Washington Nationals 9-0; if the Orioles are going to put runs on the board, George Kirby is probably their best chance to do that. On the other hand, I fully expect the Mariners to take advantage of Baltimore’s lacklustre bullpen in the later innings. Take the Over to cash here, friends.
