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…
