Mets starter Kodai Senga (9.00 ERA) was brutal before getting put on the IL, and he’s been not-so-great since coming back. To be frank, I won’t be surprised if he gets pulled early. The Cubs offense seems to have found their stride again having put a staggering 32 runs in the bag over their last 3 outings (wtf?!) To boot, 4 of Shota Imanaga’s (4.26 ERA) last 5 starts have seen the Over hit. My money’s on a high-scoring affair this evening, friends.
June 22, 2026: VIP Parlay Cashes, Morning Recap 💰☕️
June 22, 2026
Happy Monday, friends! And good morning 😊 Good news to end the weekend off on – our VIP Parlay cashed last night for a real nice +423 return, and Pick of the Day hit! Overall, we made it out of the day green 💸 I have to apologize – it’s been a few days since I’ve done a recap; things have been crazy over here! I’m gearing up for our app launch (finally!) Fun fact: I’ll be dropping details for that later this week; keep your eyes peeled 👀
For those curious about last night’s slate, here’s what we had:
Parlay (+423) 🎉
-LA Angels v Athletics Over 9.0 (-120) ✅
-PHI Phillies Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ✅
-WAS Nationals v TB Rays Under 9.5 (alternate total) (-190) ✅
Player Props (1/3)
-Nick Kurtz Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100) ✅
-Dustin May 6+ Strikeouts (+125) ❌
-Stephen Kolek 4+ Strikeouts (-110) ❌
Picks (1/3)
-PHI Phillies -1.5 (+115) (*Pick of the Day*) ✅
-KC Royals ML (+105) ❌
-STL Cardinals v KC Royals Under 9.0 (-120) ❌
I’m thrilled that Philly came through! The last couple of days have been a bit of a roller coaster, so it was nice to see Sunday finish in the black.
Speaking of roller coasters, what on EARTH was that Kansas City Royals / St. Louis Cardinals game yesterday? Two solid pitchers on the mound both just decided to completely no-show 😂 I know, that happens from time-to-time, but sheesh…
Alright everyone, that’s all I’ve got re: last night! I’ll have today’s picks out momentarily.
-STL Cardinals v KC Royals Under 9.0 (-120) | 0.25 Units
-PHI Phillies -1.5 (+115) | 0.5 Units
Why These Picks?
STL Cardinals v KC Royals: I really like the way Stephen Kolek (2.68 ERA) pitches at home, friends. As for today’s visitors, St. Louis starter Dustin May (3.75 ERA) has had a couple of great outings as of late (0 ERs over his last 2 outings). Meanwhile, 4 of Kolek’s last 5 starts have resulted in a Kansas City victory. I’m going to toss a sprinkle on the Under to cash.
NY Mets v PHI Phillies: Not too long ago, David Peterson (5.91 ERA) was considered to be the Mets’ resident Ace; but the man just can’t seem to find “it” anymore. Peterson has allowed 9 runs over just his last 2 starts, there’s no doubt that Philly has the advantage here with Zack Wheeler (2.01 ERA) on the mound. Wheeler is a solid 3-0 at home and has allowed a mere 2 runs across his last 3 games in Philly…all of which resulted in a victory by at least two. I’ve gotta take the home squad to cover the RL here.

Wheeler is a solid 3-0 at home and has allowed a mere 2 runs across his last 3 games in Philly…all of which resulted in a victory by at least two. I’ve gotta take the home squad to cover the RL here.
SF Giants v MIA Marlins: Max Meyer (2.75 ERA) has been flawless at home, friends. The man is 4-0 on his own field and is a ridiculous 7-0 so far this season...I just don’t think the Giants will get much past him. In addition, all 4 of Meyer’s last logged wins were by at least 2 runs, and 4 of Trevor McDonald’s (4.64 ERA) last 5 starts have resulted in a loss for San Francisco. My money’s on the Marlins to cover the RL this afternoon.
BAL Orioles v LA Dodgers: Orioles starter Trevor Rogers (5.86 ERA) is going to be outgunned here in my opinion. The LA batting lineup is daunting, and Rogers has had a tough time with far lesser lineups. In addition, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.84 ERA)’s last 4 straight starts have resulted in a Dodgers victory by at least 4 runs. I’ll take the home squad to cover the RL.

PIT Pirates v COL Rockies: As much as I love a high-scoring game at Coors Field, I think this one stays Under 10. Tomoyuki Sugano (4.79 ERA) is one of Colorado’s better starters, and Paul Skenes (2.85) needs no introduction. I’ve got a sprinkle on a lower-scoring affair tonight.
