MLB Picks Contest: Minnesota Twins at Cincinnati Reds

Tuesday, June 30th: Hughes v DeSclafani

Well, after Johnny Cueto’s start was pushed back for no reason, most of you got a pretty easy win from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cincinnati Reds never really stood a chance, and it was one of the biggest progression bets of the season for my forum. It ended up being a whacky game, so I figure we should give the Reds another chance.

The Minnesota Twins are another terrible team, and on the road they’re a tough team to trust. They definitely have a pitching edge here with Phil Hughes, but the Cincinnati Reds have home field advantage and I don’t think either team is really worth supporting. So, in a game that will never fit my forum because bad teams breed volatility, who do you have? As always, simply comment on this post to participate.

Here are our standings so far:

MLB Picks: Mark D’s 2015 Baseball Expert Forum Predictions Update

MLB Picks: Mark D’s 2015 Expert MLB Sports Betting Forum Update I just wanted to update you guys on our progress again in the Z-Code VIP Club expert forum for my picks. We’ve missed some low confidence progressions this month and had a couple drops, but we’ve been pretty careful to protect a season worth of impressive profits. As such, we’re still right around the 10 units mark on the year as we’ve mitigated those losses with high winning percentage days and some solid returns. For me that’s $1,000 in profit based on $100 units and $50 average A ...

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 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 ...

MLB Picks Contest, Round 1 Standings Update: Cubs Pirates

The Chicago Cubs won our first MLB contest game as the Pittsburgh Pirates fell in a battle of two ace pitchers. We had roughly even distribution throughout our participants, but low participation means that only three people have recorded their first victory. Remember, first to ten wins so it’s still a great time to participate. Hopefully we’ll see larger numbers in our next contest round.

Free to participate, $100 prizes paid immediately following the tenth victory, and absolutely nothing to lose. Good luck, here are our standings after one round:

MLB Picks Contest, Round 1 ($100 Prize): Pirates at Cubs

Saturday May 16th, Cole v Lester Okay, let’s try this again. After postponing our first round of our MLB Picks Contest due to low participation and a pitching change, we’d like to start this up again with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Cubs have been inconsistent, but so have the Pirates. I think the Pirates have a slight pitching edge, but the Cubs have their ace going and home field. This should be a good one!
