Honestly, I couldn't think of a better title for this post. Today felt like Murphy's Law: MLB Edition — if they can lose, they will lose. Our picks went a dreaded 0-6, friends. Even the ones that looked rock solid ended up taking a dive — like, seriously, WHAT WAS THAT LAST DETROIT TIGERS INNING?

‍

Someone write Brieske’s name down. If I even see that he's part of the available bullpen moving forward, we’re blacklisting the Tigers. The 8th inning started at 3-1... and ended at 10-1?! Make it make sense.

‍

That ridiculousness was kind of the theme all day. The Cubs? Did next to nothing against a pitcher who’s given up 20 ER in his last two starts. How this came to pass, I’ll never know.

‍

That said — as I write this, our VIP Parlay is still alive and looking like it might cash! 🙏🏽 If it hits, I’ll post again and scream it from the rooftops. 😅

‍

I'm sorry about the rough picks today, friends — truly. But you know me: I’m bringing us back to life leading into the weekend. 😌👊🏼

‍

Walk it off, betting fam. Tomorrow, we take the books to the cleaners.

‍

X,
Belle

Today's Picks

-CHI Cubs ML (-105) | 0.25 Units

-CHI Cubs Team Total Over 4.5 (+100) | 0.25 Units

-SEA Mariners v ARI Diamondbacks Over 9.0 (-110) | 0.5 Units

-SEA Mariners ML (-115) | 0.25 Units

-DET Tigers ML (+105) | 0.25 Units

-DET Tigers v BAL Orioles Under 9.0 (-110) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

CHI Cubs v PHI Phillies: Jesus Luzardo (4.40 ERA) has gotten absolutely lit up in his last 2 outings, friends. With 20 Earned Runs in just his last two starts, I simply can't trust him to hold the Cubs offense in check. I say Chicago clears their Team Total with ease and pulls off a win today.

‍

SEA Mariners v ARI Diamondbacks: This might not be a popular opinion, but I think the Over cashes here. Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez (6.70 ERA) has allowed 23 ERs over his last 5 outings, but to be frank, I think Arizona will put a few runs away against Bryan Woo (3.07 ERA) as well. Last season, Woo was the definition of an Ace – but in just his last 2 outings, he’s allowed 4 Home Runs and 7 ERs. It’s easy to assume an encounter will be low scoring with Woo’s name on the schedule, but I say the Over hits. As for a winner, while Woo may let a few Dbacks score, I do think the Mariners avoid the sweep.

‍

DET Tigers v BAL Orioles: I simply don’t understand why Baltimore is favoured here – Detroit has the better pitcher and the better offense. In fact, Zach Eflin’s ERA is actually worse at one than it is overall. As for the total, the Tigers have only seen a game surpass 9 runs once in their last 10 outings.  This set of picks is pretty straight forward – I’ll take Detroit for plus money and the Under to cash.

Good afternoon, friends!

‍

One question I’ve been getting a lot lately:

“Belle, I know I’ll still get your picks via email and can log in to your [super awesome, ridiculously cool] site to see them, but… I miss push notifications! Will those be coming back?”

‍

The answer? YES.

Push notifications are making a comeback very soon — because the Belle’s Picks App is on the way!

‍

I’ll be rolling out a dedicated app for both iOS and Android later this month. You’ll be able to log into your account and get notified instantly when I post new picks, updates, or special plays — right from your phone. 🙌

Oh, and there might be a few other fun features packed in there too. 😉

I’ll let you know the moment it’s live — just wanted you to know that it’s officially in motion.

Stay tuned… and thank you, as always, for being part of this amazing community 💛

‍

— Belle

Today's Picks

-TB Rays ML (-115) | 0.5 Units

-MIA Marlins v PIT Pirates Over 8.0 (-120) | 0.25 Units

-SEA Mariners v ARI Diamondbacks Over 9.0 (-120) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

TB Rays v BOS Red Sox: It’s hard to like the Red Sox with Lucas Giolito (6.42 ERA) on the mound, friends. In his last outing, Giolito allowed the Angels (the Angels?!) to get 7 runs past him. I'll be frank – it's not difficult to imagine a universe where Tampa Bay runs up a fast score here. And while starter Ryan Pepiot (3.20 ERA) isn’t necessarily my favourite Rays starter, he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ERs across his last 3 outings. I’m on the visitors to lock down a win again here.

‍

MIA Marlins v PIT Pirates: I don’t trust either of today’s pitchers to keep their opponent in check here, and to be frank, I won’t be surprised if this ends up being one of the evening’s highest scoring affairs. Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara has allowed 21 ERs over his last 5 outings, while Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller has allowed 9 runs in his last 2 starts. This game should see runs for days – I’m on the Over to hit.

‍

SEA Mariners v ARI Diamondbacks: Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt (5.51 ERA) has had a rough week; this should be a high-scoring affair simply because he’s on the mound, friends. Pfaadt has allowed a staggering 16 runs over his last 3 outings. On the other side, with Bryce Miller on the injury list, pitcher Logan Evans will step up from Triple-A for Seattle this evening. Of course, this could prove to be a set of trials and tribulations all on its own that could generously add to tonight’s final score. My money’s on the Over to cash.
