Today's Picks

-SF Giants Team Total Over 4.5 (-105) | 0.25 Units

-LA Dodgers v COL Rockies Over 11.5 (-115) | 0.5 Units

-COL Avalanche -1.5 (-110) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

SF Giants v WAS Nationals: Robbie Ray (2.42 ERA) is an elite pitcher, friends – and fading Miles Mikolas (11.49 ERA) has been nothing but profitable so far this season. To boot, Mikolas’ ERA at home is actually worse than his overall at a staggering 15.95! San Francisco has scored 17 runs across the last 2 games in this series; I can’t imagine they bag less than 5 against a struggling Mikolas and the Washington bullpen. My money’s on the Giants to put at least 5 in the bag this afternoon.

‍

LA Dodgers v COL Rockies: The Dodgers offense at Coors Field? Don’t mind if I do. Between the steep pitching advantage and the favourable altitude, I won’t be surprised if LA cashes this Over all by themselves. My money’s on this game to see at least 12.

‍

LA Kings v COL Avalanche: The Avalanche has won their last 3 straight meetings with the Kings by at least 2 goals, and to be frank, I don’t plan on stepping in front of the Colorado offense in the post-season. Despite their shotty Power Play, the Avs are the  much better team in this matchup. My money’s on the home squad to run away with Game 1.

Good morning all, Happy Sunday! I have to apologize, this last couple of days has been crazy. Fun fact: I’ll be rolling out some huge news as a result of that crazy over the next few weeks (prepare yourselves…) 🤩

‍

On that note, I’ve been dropping the ball on our recaps! That said, I promised myself I’d do one this morning before picks go out. For those of you that are new here (and there are so many new faces!) I do my best to recap on both winning and losing days – while it’s nice to celebrate all of our wins together, it’s also nice to commiserate in solidarity 😮‍💨👊🏽

‍

So without further ado, let’s get to it 😊

Overall, not our greatest day by a long shot! Yesterday was a tough one – in fact the last couple of days have been less than ideal. Picks & props each went a gross 1/4 🤢

‍

MLB was where the cash was last night it seems! For those curious, here’s what we had:

‍

April 18, 2026

‍

Picks (1/4)

-ATL Braves ML (+110) ✅

-MIN Timberwolves v DEN Nuggets Over 232.5 (-110) (*Pick of the Day) ❌

-DEN Nuggets Team Total Over 119.5 (-115) ❌

-SD Padres v LA Angels Over 9.5 (-120) ❌

‍

Player Props (1/4)

-Kerry Carpenter Over 1.5 Total Bases (+165) ✅

-Nikola Jokic Over 52.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-110) ❌

-Julius Randle Over 19.5 Points (-120) ❌

-Karl-Anthony Towns Over 15.5 Assists & Rebounds (-105) ❌

‍

Parlay (+475) (Miss)

-ATL Hawks v NY Knicks Under 218.0 (-110) ✅

-DET Tigers ML (-155) ✅

-PHI Flyers v PIT Penguins Over 6.0 (-120) ❌

‍

So many narrow misses that really burned my a**, I admit!

‍

Pick of the Day (Timberwolves/Nuggets) was projected to do 243.0 for most of the game, and then the total absolutely tanked! Denver didn’t even end up clearing 119.5.

‍

I’m thrilled that the Braves cashed 🎉! I’m a little salty because I nearly made that Pick of the Day…  But, I won’t dwell.

‍

As for the shining beacon of greatness in our Player Props, I could’ve kissed Kerry Carpenter when he cleared his total bases prop for a real nice +165 😂

‍

Lastly, our parlay last night nearly brought in the cash, but the Pittsburgh Penguins failed to tie their game, leaving us short even a ‘Push’ on its final leg (score ended at 3-2).

‍

Brutal outcomes on a lot of fronts – but let's walk it off! Today's a new day ☀️😉 And for those following along, I'll have our April spreadsheet updated shortly.

‍

Alright friends, that’s all I’ve got for now! I’ll have today’s picks out shortly. Let’s take the books to the cleaners…

Today's Picks

-MIN Timberwolves v DEN Nuggets Over 232.5 (-110) | 0.5 Units

-DEN Nuggets Team Total Over 119.5 (-115) | 0.25 Units

-ATL Braves ML (+110) | 0.25 Units

-SD Padres v LA Angels Over 9.5 (-120) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

MIN Timberwolves v DEN Nuggets: The Nuggets have put at least 123 points on the board in 4 of their last 5 meetings with Minnesota, and 127+ on the board in their last 6 straight outings. On the other side, the Timberwolves have managed 120+ points in their last 4 straight games. This will undoubtedly be the highest scoring matchup of the day in my opinion; especially if Anthony Edwards decides to suit up (at time of writing, he’s listed as ‘Questionable’). My money’s on the Over to hit this afternoon, but I'll also toss a sprinkle on the Nuggets Team Total; the Denver offense is lethal at home.

‍

ATL Braves v PHI Phillies: The Phillies have been brutal offensively, friends. Philadelphia has scored a mere 6 runs across their last 4 games and have lost 7 of their last 10; I’m not in a rush to toss money on their batting lineup against a pitcher as capable as Chris Sale. While Cristopher Sanchez is a solid arm, I just don’t think he’ll have run support needed for Philly to lock down a win. I’m on Atlanta for plus money today.

‍

SD Padres v LA Angels: A big total, but both of today’s starters have been ridiculously hittable (lol). Yusei Kikuchi comes into this matchup with a staggering 7.50 ERA, while Padres pitcher German Marquez comes in with an ERA of 5.54. with Los Angeles having bagged a ridiculous 30 runs over their last 4 games, I’m on the Over to cash.
