    Sunday is the toughest day to handicap in MLB, and this is no exception.

    Probably won't make any picks today.

    If you do, at least you have your bases covered and you can post "I knew I shouldn't have made any picks on a Sunday" if you lose.

    What? Why is Sunday tougher than a Tuesday or A Thursday?

    Various differences:

    - Almost all games are day games

    - Sometimes there are different or experimental lineups on Sundays

    - In many cases, teams are not playing on Monday, so the game is managed differently (that one's not a factor today, obv)

    Also, many veteran position players get sundays off for rest, especially if its a day game and they played the night before. Treat sunday day games as basically a 2nd half of a doubleheader. You gotta wait until you can see the lineups before betting a sunday game.

    Ya my LeBron double double bet was because I couldn't pull the trigger on Boston.

    Well done on your bet so far.

    Took the 1h parlay and put it to work on some Cavs 2h - praying for a 1-2-3-4 point Celtics win in regulation

    Trapper John MD line this morning involving Verlander on the road, but even I can't fire against it. Domingo German (Yankees) has just been so awful lately, and Verlander has been so locked in... and the prize for correctly fading Verlander is a tiny bit above even money. Can't do it.

    Also a bunch of sharps going with Baltimore at home against Washington. Normally that would be intriguing, but Alex Cobb is just so bad that this is unappealing. 7.32/1.932 through 8 starts. I mean, seriously.

    So I'll sit those out.

    And again, sharps are fading Degrom as he pitches on the road against the Braves and rookie Max Fried. This one again would be interesting to perhaps back Atlanta, but +100 isn't worth fading Degrom at this point, who so far has been the 2018 NL Cy Young winner.

    I do like one early game though:

    St. Louis (Weaver) +102 at Milwaukee (Suter)

    Weaver has been pitching much better lately, and he has something to prove, as Alex Reyes is about to join the rotation, and Carlos Martinez will show back up in early-mid June. At that point, there will be 6 Cardinals starters, and one of the remaining ones will have to take a seat.

    Game starts at 11:10am PDT

    More later (maybe)

    I'm not 100% up to speed on college yet but someone I absolutely trust says Michigan -1 vs ND in week one is a great bet.

    I'm 0-2 since my 18-3 run.

    Let's try to turn it around with the 2nd game of the Braves/Mets doubleheader, starting in about half an hour (4:10pm PDT)

    Mets (Conlon) at Atlanta (McCarthy) - Under 9 -108

    Is there a reason behind the new avatar? I remember wearing those t-shirts when I was a kid and they were briefly popular, but don't know the symbolism of you making it your avatar.

    Yes, T&C Surf shirts were indeed very popular in the late 1980s.

    They basically screwed themselves after selling the company, and the new owners decided to fire the artist behind these shirts, which was a huge mistake. They hired their own cut-rate artists to continue these characters, but the new artists poorly understood the characters and their appeal, so pretty soon the whole thing fell apart.

    The reason for the avatar?

    BITE EM BACK is the reason.

    That is all.
