Thank you for the nice comment Bigtom. I've been studying and doing more statistical research so I don't seem too ignorant. I've still got a lot to learn about this sport. I have another pick - the Yankees over the Cardinals. Mr. Phelps has been pitching well lately and I hope it continues. Good luck/Dumb luck to everyone.
Wednesday May 28. 1-2 yesterday, 15-9 overall. Good morning everybody. Two starts ago I went against Bartolo Colon and lost. Last time I went with him, gave up two early runs but the game got rained out. Today I'm going against him again and with Charlie Morton and the Pittsburgh Pirates. I hope Morton's wildly effective and not just plain wild. Also, I'm taking the Houston Astros over Kansas City again. No reason, just riding them. GL/DL.
Thursday May 29. Hi! Today I like two streaks to end and they're both in the same game. I'm picking the Kansas City Royals over the Toronto Blue Jays. I hope James Shields can cool off the hot Toronto bats and his fielders give him support. I also hope the KC batters have patience with RA Dickey. It seems like he's giving up more walks this year. GL/DL.
Saturday May 31. 1 - 1, 18 - 13. Hi everyone! I felt like KC was going on a streak but today they have a young pitcher going against another young pitcher from Toronto. They both had rough first outings but maybe that was due to nerves. Maybe they got it out of their system and will now be more relaxed when they pitch today. That's why I'm picking the under 10 on today's game. Does that make sense? I don't know. Anyway good luck/dumb luck everyone.
Wow, sorry about that pick. I guess it's back to the minors for Brooks. 2/3 ip, 7 er, 5 hits, 3 bb, 2 hbp. Wow! I hope I do better on this next one. I'm going back to the Houston Astros and I hope I'm not a streak breaker. I'm picking them mainly because of Houston's Dallas - Keuchel, that is. He's hot and he doesn't walk batters. Hope I don't jinx him. GL/DL.
Sunday June 1. Hi! Sorry about yesterday's two bad picks. I broke the Astros win streak and I sent Brooks back to the minors. Today I'm going back to the Baltimore/Houston game and picking the Orioles with Chen over Feldman. Maybe the Astros might start a streak in the opposite direction. I'm also picking the Boston Red Sox to sweep Tampa with Jon Lester taking the mound. GL/DL. 0 - 2 yesterday, 18 - 15 overall.
Back again for the ESPN game between the LA Dodgers and Zack Greinke against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Edinson Volquez. On paper, it looks like a Dodger victory but I have a feeling their bats might not show up. This is also the first time that the Pirates are seeing Greinke so they might have a hard time. That's why I'm picking the under 7 for tonight's game. GL/DL.
Monday June 2. 20 - 16. Let's see if Bartolo Colon gives me another loss. I'm picking the Philadelphia Phillies over Colon and the Mets. His road record is not that good and after throwing 120 pitches the last time, he might give up a few runs. The total might go over too but my pick is the Phillies. Good luck.
Tuesday June 3. Good morning! I'm picking the LA Angels and CJ Wilson over the Houston Astros. I feel that Houston is on a reverse streak and might lose several games in a row. I'm also picking the over 7.5 on the Chicago White Sox/LA Dodgers game. I think Noesi and Haren give up a lot of runs, especially Noesi. So, I'm also going to take the over 4.5 on the Dodgers team total. Three picks today. Hope I have some good luck/dumb luck. Bye.
