MLB Picks 9/11: Pittsburgh Pirates at Texas Rangers

MLB Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Pirates at Texas Rangers

Z-Code and I are in an epic battle in this one so I figured I’d feature it on the main page. Normally, when Z-Code and I disagree, it’s a good sign to stay away from a game. I’d have to continue with that advice on this game, but it’s fun to take a look at.

Z-Code likes the Pirates. With full five-star support on the underdog, the play looks to have some value. Still, Burnett is slumping and there’s sweep resistance here. I don’t trust AJ Burnett to snap out of ...

MLB Picks 9/1: Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros

MLB Picks and Predictions: 9/1 – Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros

There are a few reasons this game doesn’t fit my system, but I’m on the Mariners anyway with low confidence and I like this play.

First, why it doesn’t work:

I don’t like to bet when two “bad” teams meet. ...

MLB Picks 8/30: Cincinnati Reds at Colorado Rockies

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/30: Cincinnati Reds at Colorado Rockies

This is an interesting game and a rare occasion where a strong signal from Z-Code disagrees with my forum pick. There is a slight conflict in output by the computer calling for a 53% chance of victory by the Reds and a five-star underdog prediction for the Rockies. Still, I like this game.

After stealing a game-four progression win with the Tigers, I’m feeling pretty good about the stability of our system. Yes, we got lucky, but we hit another play and we continue to win. With NFL and ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/28: Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers

MLB Picks August 28th

There is a lot going on today. For starters, we have round seven of our MLB Picks contest, which features the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox. Another exciting (read: scary) play here is the C bet we have on the Detroit Tigers. As good as they are and as streaky as the A’s are, I can’t see a sweep in Detroit… but it doesn’t look good after a six-inning game stole money from us in my mind. Here, I like to focus on another interesting game.

The Chicago Cubs stole a -300 game from ...

MLB Picks and Predictions: Oakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers

MLB Picks and Predictions: Oakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers, ABC Progression Opportunity

The Detroit Tigers are an elite team and they’re hitting their stride as the playoff stretch run comes together. Their pitching rotations lines up perfectly with the Athletics’ horrible play of late.

The Athletics aren’t hitting and the Tigers have burning hot pitchers that are far better than anything the Athletics lineup is ready for.

Decent pitching edge ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8.24: Pittsburgh Pirates Vs San Francisco Giants

MLB Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Pirates Vs San Francisco Giants

This has been a tremendously profitable series for the Z-Code community so far. The lines have been dripping with value, the better team is prevailing on the road, and the pitching matchups have been easy to read. The result for my followers is a series win, a progression win, and for some, another flat bet win.

Here, we lack a statistical advantage but there’s value in continuing down this road. The Pirates are in the playoff mix and looking to maintain their momentum as they try to chase down a ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/23: Washington Nationals at Kansas City Royals

MLB Picks and Predictions, Friday 8/23: Washington Nationals at Kansas City Royals

This is a tricky game. I don’t think I’ve seen such a strong underdog prediction in some time, but beware the conflicting parameters of the algorithm here.

While Z-Code suggests that there is an 83% chance of a Nationals win, it also says there is only a 68% chance of the Nationals covering a +1.5 spread. There’s five star support, but obviously those numbers do not add up. The system is conflicted, and the read out is not nearly as strong as the first glance suggests.

I see ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/22: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers

MLB Picks and Predictions: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers

Yesterday we provided two winning picks in a dominant day for the Z-Code community. My forum in the VIP membership area went unbeaten again, and we’re rolling now as the baseball season comes down to its stretch run.

Today, I look at a sharp line that has limited value in my system as the possible best play on the board. It comes with full Z-Code support, a big pitching edge, a home edge, a roster edge, and a momentum edge… what’s not to like?

While Justin Verlander has been a ...

GRAND PLAYOFFS: The King Of The Longest Win Streak – QUARTERFINALS

YAY! Finally we can continue exciting POD contest! Its time to show what you have the best and shine! We have 8 superstars still in the game and we expect big show in this round! Show us what you got…

Day one was very solid for competitors with 7 wins and only 1 unlucky loss! Wins came from Tigers, Rangers and Dodgers so it is easy to notice that good day for competitors is closely linked with my favorites zcode systems. Marco was really unlucky with his Mets +2.5 pick, because Mets allowed 3 runs in additional inning. Koos has ...

MLB Picks and Predictions: Houston Astros at Los Angeles Angels

Sometimes when your system doesn’t give out a strong signal, there’s nothing better than grabbing a bucket of popcorn and hoping the Astros implode.

Luckily, there’s a super computer that tells us not to do that. This is a fun bet if anything on the moneyline because there is quite simply no value in it.

Z-Code again likes the under and after a strong signal yesterday it looks good because it failed. Keuchel makes me nervous betting the Angels, but if he can shut them down it plays to the ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/16 – Detroit Tiger Vs Kansas City Royals

MLB Picks and Predictions – Detroit Tigers Vs Kansas City Royals

Verlander has had a horrible season. He’s been hard to trust, his ERA is much higher than we expected when the season began, and the results aren’t there. He doesn’t warrant wagers at sharp lines.

That said, -160 isn’t that sharp.

The Tigers are the far better team. This is a bad opportunity for a progression because it lacks a statistical edge and the next pitching matchup is dangerous. Still, there’s an obvious pitching edge to the Tigers in this particular game, at home, and they’re clearly the better team. The line seems reasonable, and there’s value here.

I wouldn’t go all in here, but for a low-confidence wager, this isn’t bad.

Tigers 6 – Royals 4 Flat bet ...

MLB Picks and Predictions 8/15: Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers

MLB Picks and Predictions – Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers

I don’t usually feel comfortable betting against the BRewers at home, especially with Lohse on the mound. My system has no plays today. Still, if I had to pick one, I kind of like the Reds today for a fun bet.

Cincy is the far superior team. Cingriani is having a good year and the Reds are in a heated playoff race. They need to remain consistent, and this could be a good opportunity for a progression.

Z-Code likes this one. 4-stars on the road and nice support for the ...

MLB Picks 8/12: Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves

MLB Picks and Predictions: Progression Opportunity, A Bet – Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves

A nice opportunity for a progression with a pitching edge and a hell of a lot of momentum to the home team coming into this divisional rivalry series.

Yes, Cole Hamels is a talented pitcher, but his season has been absolutely miserable so far in terms of wins and losses. Consistent support of Hamels has led to $1320 in losses when wagering 100 dollar units. That’s a tough guy to support in this situation.

Z-Code is all over this one as well. Five star support with ...

MLB Picks 8/9: Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves

MLB Picks and Predictions: Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves

We’re killing it right now. Honestly, I forget the last time a tip on this page missed. Keep following as we stay on this hot streak.

This one makes me nervous, but in an ABC progression you have to feel comfortable chasing losses through a series with the Braves against the lowly Marlins.

The pitching matchup is not particularly favorable early on in this series, but as hot as the Braves are it’s hard to walk away from them on their home field. The odds of a Marlins sweep are incredibly ...

MLB Picks: Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians 8/8

MLB Picks and Predictions: Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians

Tough game here. The Tigers are by far the better team here, but sweep resistance makes me nervous. The Tigers are going for a four-game sweep of a divisional rival, but they’re simply the better team. After a battle in extra innings, it’s tough to see the Indians fight back.

Z-Code gives a very weak signal. Frankly, we’ve made our money following the computer and our expert systems. This series may be tapped out. Still, the signal, weak as it is, is possibly the best play on the board.

My thinking ...
