MLB Picks: Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Progression Wager

We had this one pegged as an MLB Picks Contest game, but after Johnny Cueto got removed from this one suddenly I don’t see this as much of a coin flip. You have three games in a row now of a better team with a better pitcher playing better baseball at home. The line is reasonable, the Reds limp in with a spot starter, and I like the Pittsburgh Pirates in an ABC progression here against the Cincinnati Reds.

I have some issues trusting the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup sometimes, and they were a highly mediocre team at the beginning  ... 

MLB Picks: Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners

MLB Picks: Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners I know Felix Hernandez hasn’t exactly been dominant this year, but he has been winning games for the Seattle Mariners. The guy has a remarkable record so far, and any time he’s on the hill I think the Mariners have a great chance to win. Against a mediocre Kansas City Royals lineup that is slumping a bit and on the road, I think he’ll be in great form.

What’s more, the Kansas City Royals limp into this one in Seattle with Joe Blanton on the mound. The pitching edge would probably warrant  ... 

MLB Picks: San Francisco Giants at LA Dodgers

MLB Picks: San Francisco Giants vs LA Dodgers

I love Sunday Night Baseball, and this is one of the most intense rivalries in sports as two New York transplants to battle on the west coast. The San Francisco Giants have had a decent year so far, but they’ve been remarkably inconsistent. The LA Dodgers have had some trouble with injuries, but on the verge of being swept by the San Francisco Giants – can they find a way to win here?

The computer likes the underdog value here. Personally, I’m not going to touch this one for its volatility. That said,  ... 

MLB Picks Contest: Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates ($100 Prize)

MLB Picks Contest: Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates

Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds are off to a poor start, while the Pittsburgh Pirates haven’t exactly impressed anyone either. The Bucs have the better team and they have a strong pitcher on the mound of their own, but he’s no Cueto. I think that makes this a great contest pick for us here.

The MLB Season is starting to get to that point in the season where the bad teams develop some young chemistry, pitchers hit their stride, and the easy money of the first few months is but a fond and distant memory. We cracked the 20 wins above .500 barrier with our forum, but we’ve lost a couple bets since that mark. It’s a funny time for baseball, and we’ve been exercising a discretion-intensive approach to keep our profits and pick our spots. The results are great, and we’re having a lot fun. To that end, I honestly  ... 

ZCODE MLB CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 7 RECAP

Contest action is fast and we already finished 7 rounds in competition. I can say that during this round we had similar scenario to previous rounds. Contest leader is extremely stable, but there is tons of action and big drama behind him. Unexpected D’backs sweep was painful for few contenders, but top players made overall huge profit again! There is few new folks in top 10 players. Check below round 7 heroes!

Next round starts on Friday. Stay tuned!

Golden State Warriors Win NBA Finals, Blackhawks Take Stanley Cup

Golden State Warriors, Chicago Blackhawks Win NHL, NBA Championships

Well, we did it. The Golden State Warriors were the more complete team, and LeBron James simply didn’t have enough to carry a mediocre team of misfits to NBA Finals glory as the Cleveland Cavaliers fell short. We also nailed the Chicago Blackhawks series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, successfully predicting exactly six games and banking on the inconsistencies of the weaker team to show through in the end.

We pride ourselves on being able to take emotion out of our picks and that is why we at Z-Code can sustain so much success in the long term. This year, I’m particularly proud of our efforts. The computer had this exactly right and we projected precisely how things would play out.

I am a big LeBron James fan, but with fatigue and injuries we knew the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn’t have enough against such a vastly superior team. Our bracket looked great  ... 

Stanley Cup Finals Pick: Blackhawks Lightning Game Six

Stanley Cup Finals Game Six, NHL Picks: Blackhawks Lightning We predicted Blackhawks in six and it’s looking pretty good for us here. The Tampa Bay Lightning are starting to deal with injuries and falling apart. The Chicago Blackhawks have their skate to the jugular of an inexperienced team, they’re on home ice, they’re heating up, and they’re the better team right now.

I’m excited about this one. I didn’t know which Tampa Bay Lightning team would show up here and we had been betting against the Chicago Blackhawks all playoffs with very limited success. It was hard to know which  ... 

NBA Finals Game Five Predictions: Cavs Warriors

NBA Finals Game Five Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Sharp line, and it seems Las Vegas is far more afraid of the completeness that the Golden State Warriors have to offer than the magic of LeBron James and his misfits. With 9 points on the line, I don’t really like the ML unless for open parlay and teaser purposes, which is what I’ll be doing here with an open parlay buying points.

LeBron James has impressed us all, but I don’t think he has enough in thetank. We said that earlier in the series and he proved  ... 

MLB Picks: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants

MLB Picks: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants, ABC Progression

We’ve had a very strong season so far, which is why I was hesitant to post any games that didn’t really fit the system. We’ve seen the San Francisco Giants rise from the ashes a bit lately, and the Arizona Diamondbacks have fallen apart, losing four in a row and looking bad doing it.

First, the pitching matchup here is a huge edge for the Giants at home. Bumgarner is easy to trust and comes through in the big game. I know it’s the lowly Diamondbacks, but at home I think  ...
