MLB Betting Picks for Thursday 4/29 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines
Wednesday brought some unique life experiences so I wasn’t able to get an article out but I posted two plays to Twitter. A loss and a push were the results, and we’ll consider ourselves lucky at that, as the push was Under 10 in the Washington/Toronto game that almost saw the Nats plate 10 themselves. […]

Laughably bad Monday night, with Atlanta scoring four in the first inning. Then Seattle and Houston piling up 21 combined hits but just seven runs was a gut punch. Will likely be fading the NRFI bets for a bit, but will still continue to target totals and sides and other game/team props. By now, most […]

We’re inching closer to May, and it’s been a wild start to the MLB season. It’s made betting on games exciting, but as with gambling on any sport, there have been plenty of frustrating moments thus far. As you can see below, I’m about as middle of the road as it gets, but have been […]

Had to take a personal day off from betting on Thursday, life just too busy. My apologies but we’re back to open up the weekend with some winners! By now, most of you have been reading these already so you know where I'm coming from and how long I've been writing up betting picks. I'm […]

We open this fine week with back-to-back 2-0 nights! The games didn't go exactly as I had expected, but wins are wins I'm starting to get a better feel for how teams are playing, but guys are dropping like flies to COVID or injuries, so it's important to continue to pay attention to each teams' […]

A lovely 2-0 day to start the week is the good vibes we’ve needed. My first ever NRFI (No Run First Inning) bet cleared, then Dylan Bundy looked to be cruising early before getting lit up for five in an inning and the over took off from there. By now, most of you have been […]

Last week ended with a bit of luck on an under, but baseball is a game that can be just as ruthlessly unlucky so I'll take my hits where I can get them. Overall, it's been a brutal start to betting the MLB season. It's just three weeks into the season but we've already seen […]

Big thanks to Frank Ammirante for covering for me Thursday. My last night out, Wednesday, was a busy one and there was no shot I was going to be able to get an article written out for Thursday’s slate. It was probably for the best, following my most recent 0-2 clunker. Naturally, I'm looking for […]

Things started out strong on both plays, then Ryan Yarbrough got lit up and the Rangers pulled away, ending any hopes of a Rays win. The over in the Marlins/Braves game panned out exactly like I expected, with both starting pitchers getting rocked often. A split on record with a small loss in profit on […]

Not the way we wanted to start the week, as Baltimore/Seattle was rained out, followed by Arizona getting run out of their own park after Madison Bumgarner had another terrible start. Trending downward a bit in terms of record and units, but no reason to get discouraged. By now, most of you have been reading […]

We had a tough weekend all around, as several bets were blown up early. However, it was pretty fun having the under in Joe Musgrove's no-hitter on Friday evening. Big thanks to Jamie for taking things over on the weekend! We're onto a new week and things have been very interesting around the league through […]

Another 50/50 day on Thursday but it could've been worse. We got an excellent start from Corbin Burnes but then management pulled him after six scoreless and the Brewers bullpen blew it. However, pin it on the Milwaukee lineup for still not getting it together at the plate. Our second game between Kansas City and […]

Wednesday was the most confident I’ve been in picks so far in this early part of the season and we finished 1-1. The Reds made quick work of the Pirates and won easily. The White Sox, despite a great matchup, didn’t take as much of an advantage, registering eight walks and just one hit on […]

We moved away from the pushes and jumped into the win column with a two-fer Tuesday. Despite Dylan Bundy's best efforts, the Astros were able to pull out a ninth inning win from the Angels. Meanwhile, Toronto and Texas did bring their bats out and we cashed the over in the eighth, thanks to a […]

Monday was a bit of a let down. My plays went 0-1-1 after the Pirates gave up a game tying solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the fifth; truly a tough beat. Then the Dodgers put up seven runs in the first three innings, killing their first half under early. No […]

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend. I know the world is still in tons of disarray, but when sports are on, things seem "normal." If you follow me on Twitter (handle below), I posted a few plays this weekend as well, which is something I hope to do frequently on days that I […]

Well, a bit of a buzzkill for Opening Day as both plays fell victim. The Cardinals dropped seven runs in the first two innings, all but finishing the Reds before the game even started. Then Atlanta and Philadelphia got the pitching performances many would expect out of their aces, which I still consider impressive due […]
