MLB Picks: Oakland Athletics at Houston Astros ABC Progression

We featured the Athletics against the Astros at home last week and they won our progression. I expect more of the same here as the best team in the AL plays one of the worst. I’m going to try not to think too much about this series and just go with the progression. It seems too good to be true.

The line is a little sharp, the pitching match ups are probably the best Houston could hope for, the Astros are home, and the Athletics lineup seems to come and go, lacking ...

MLB Picks: St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs

MLB Picks: St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs, ABC Opportunity

I like a progression here on the Cardinals. I think theyre the better team and I like their pitching. I know theyre struggling, I Know they’re on the road, and I know they’re playing their rivals, but I think they come alive here.

I feel confident in this one, and so does the computer. I’m on the A bet for a unit with a chase through the series if we lose. The computer likes this one as well, with a strong ML chance to win at 57% and 3.5 stars ...

MLB Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays

MLB Picks Contest: Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays

Well, this is how we want them to shake up, right? So many variables, so much to look at, and a coin flip line with conflicted computer parameters. Contest games are supposed to be just like this, and I’m always happy when I find them a week in advance. Good luck.

The Computer sees five-star value on the road dog here, but I don’t see it and find obvious conflict in the parameters here. The parameters are in conflict as they are less than 50% likely to win, and this is ...

MLB Picks: Texas Rangers at New York Yankees

I still view the Yankees as a liability right now. They’ve suffered key injuries in a rotation that was supposed to be anchored in experience and deep. The lineup is old and fragile, and nobody is really performing how they are supposed to.

That said, guys like Carlos Beltran are starting to get hot and consistent veteran players like Derek Jeter and Ichiro have steadied the storm. This is a crucial stretch for the Yankees, not just this week but going forward. Young arms have filled the holes left by the big-name pitchers ...

MLB Picks Sunday Night Baseball: LA Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals

MLB Picks: Sunday Night Baseball, LA Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals

Clayton Kershaw is unstoppable and he’s a hard guy to bet against. In fact, as a rule, I don’t do it. The question for me here is whether or not the line allows us to support him against a top team like the St. Louis Cardinals, particularly when the LA Dodgers have been so inconsistent.

The computer and I are in agreement here in that this game doesn’t have any value. I don’t bet against Kershaw, so I’m off this one, but the computer is on the Cardinals. Five-star ...

MLB Picks Contest: Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays

Tuesday, July 22nd.

The All-Star Break is over, so let’s get back to our competition. I’ll feature a couple of mediocre teams, divisional rivals, in the back end of their pitching rotation for this one.

I avoid games where there is volatility like this. Bad teams create unpredictability. This game could go either way. Home edge, or a winning tradition in recent years? Both teams are playing pretty average baseball coming into the break, so Tuesday’s game looks like a toss up to me.

As always, just comment on the ...

MLB Picks: Mark’s ABC System Featuring ABC, AB, and Flat Bets

MLB Picks System: Mark’s ABC, AB Doubler, Flat Betting Hybrid

So today I get to feature my own system because, quite honestly, the only sport I follow is on a break.. but I think this is good opportunity to offer insights into the second half of the season, and key on what makes the Z-Code system so worthwhile. Last season we finished up almost 40 units, and this year we’ve peaked at around 20 units with about a half unit average bet size, finishing up 500 dollars the last two days of the season’s first half.

My system is simple and straightforward, and 100% transparent. It’s a filtration of key parameters I’ve developed over the year, and I’ve never had a losing season. My system was featured in our latest podcast, so if you have any questions check out our podcast for a bit more information.

The five parameters I use are:

1. Pitching advantage – of the two ...

Not a lot of participation in this round of the competition, but the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees in a shortened game to take us to the All Star Break.

MLB Picks Contest: New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Sunday Night Baseball

MLB Picks Contest: New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles

Vegas is taking a little extra time to post the line, which makes sense as this one feels like yet another contest coin flip.

The Yankees are winners. They find ways to win despite injuries and are always in the hunt. Last year their aging roster stumbled through the season and this year is more of the same. That said, they’re not too far back, even with their latest loss of Tanaka.

The Orioles are upstart. They’re loaded with young talent and have one of the best managers in baseball. They ...
