gonna take the points
Wish I knew about the potential rain delay when I made this Braves under pick.
Didn't check for the chance of rain. Wish I had. Wouldn't have bet this had I known it was going to start at 10pm after everyone sat around for hours.
:gay
Houston bricks it up again. You live by the 3 and die by the 3 but 27 straight misses?
It could have been different with CP3 out there though.
Warriors in 5 (maybe 4) but they aren't playing even close to their best atm.
So here is a losing streak, albeit a small one.
Took 21 picks to lose 3 games, and now I'm 0-3 since.
Let's shake things up a bit. How about an over pick?
Washington (Hellickson) at Baltimore (Bundy) - Over 9 -120
Let's add another element to the Baltimore game.
at Baltimore -108 (Bundy) vs. Washington (Hellickson)
These 2-in-1 pick games are tough to sweat.
Like, Washington just scored a run in the top of the 1st.
Great for my over, not so great for my side.
Obviously every run for Baltimore is good, but how much do I root for Washington to score?
Never analyzed it, but it's tilting to watch like this.

Five losses in a row.
Seems like my worst losing streaks come immediately after a very hot run.
Today I'm not going to take the easy way out by simply firing on a big favorite.
Instead, I'll be staring down a potential 6th straight loss with this sole underdog pick:
Houston (Keuchel) +180 at Yankees (Severino)
NOTES: Severino shut out Houston in a complete game earlier this month, but acknowledged that otherwise he's gotten "crushed" by the Astros, including in the playoffs last year.
Yankees will be resting Greg Bird and Brett Gardner. Astros will be resting George Springer, and Brian McCann just hit the DL.
The public favors this one, but not heavily. If you don't like betting with the public, skip this one.
Keuchel has a 2-1 lead in the 5th.
Then he clearly runs out of gas and escapes a blowout inning, but still allows 2 runs.
Do you run him back out in the 6th?
Apparently the answer was YES.
:facepalm2

I've changed my mind. The NBA needs an integrity fee.
JR Smith should be released immediately
JR Smith to basketball is like thesparten to PFA
Fumbles into gold the odd time but is just retarded the other 90% of the time.
I really need to be talked outta the cavs at 10:1 at this point...
I think the price is still wrong, but fuck do the warriors look like they're ripe for the taking...
First day since I got to the WSOP that I have no event to play.
Here's a pick:
**GAME 2** at Detroit (Fiers) +176 vs. Yankees (German)
Notes:
Detroit has played better recently. German has allowed 6 ER in two of his last 4 starts.
Lost 6 in a row, but then hit the nice +176 after a short break.

Pick on today's early game:
White Sox (Rey. Lopez) +151 at Minnesota (F. Romero)
Notes: Both pitchers got bombed last time out, but Lopez was doing well for several starts prior to that outing.
White Sox are awful.
2-0 Sox after 7, Twins have only 1 hit.
Then Twins hang 4 on them in the 8th with 2 out.
:gay3
Well let's try to bounce back from that screw job.
Kansas City (Keller) at Angels (Heaney) - under 8 -110
Miracles are fake and God is dead. I'm taking GS -4 tonight
dodgers are absolute trash.
Here's one starting in about 30 min:
Detroit (Boyd) at Boston (Beeks) - Under 10 -115
Notes: Beeks has been absolutely dominating the minors, with almost 13 K per 9 innings, over 10 starts. Boyd has been surprisingly good for the Tigers this year.
So much for "Beeks and Boyd will keep hitters at bay".
Beeks got mashed for 5 in the first, and Boston already got 1 back in the bottom half.
Rare to declare an under pretty much done in the 1st inning... but I'm giving up.
1 out away from a #MiracleCover, as Boston bats were asleep, and Detroit only scored 2 more runs after that crazy 1st.
Edit: Win! Had to fade a man at 2nd but they got the third out.
Probably didn't deserve this one because I read Beeks all wrong, but I'll take it.
:yes
Final minutes of a close NHL playoff game.
You either know or you need to seriously examine how you spend your time.
Odds anyone on Druff even mentioning the Vegas Golden Knights tonight?

at NY Mets (Degrom) -106 vs. NY Yankees (Tanaka)
Notes: Degrom has a 1.49 ERA. He has gone 7 straight starts allowing 1 ER or fewer, pitching 7+ innings in 6 of them. Tanaka has a 4.79 ERA and has given up 3+ ER in 5 of his last 6 starts.
Idk if im allowed to post yet but i have an interesting NBA bet i made last night.
Cavs to win their nect two games, +2000. $1k to win $20k. And no, im not going to hedge
Feeling a whole lot better about the Ohtani under 9.5 Wins now. I definitely underestimated how he would do at the MLB level, thankfully his UCL is helping the cause as advertised
