MLB Picks: New York Mets at Washington Nationals

The Nats can be a little bit infuriating at times, and last night was one such occasion. The lineup didn’t show up, the pitching was mediocre, the game got away from them as a result, and a bad team came into DC and beat up on them.

I don’t think this series can continue like that for long. The Nationals are the better team, and I think they’ll wake up the bats a little in support of the better pitcher, Doug Fister. At home with decent value in the line against a weak ...

MLB Picks: New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox, Sunday Night Baseball

MLB Picks: New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox

I love this rivalry and look forward to Sunday Night Baseball. It’s Derek Jeter’s final year, two strong pitchers are going, neither team is hitting all that well right now, and I expect another really fun battle. As such, my system bet is to not bet this game. That said, there is a weak signal on the Yankees and a decent output suggesting the over. Let’s look a little deeper.

While the Yankees aren’t hitting right now, the Red Sox have been a mess. They sold off their ace and mortgaged ...

MLB Picks: Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers, ABC Progression

MLB Picks: Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers ABC Progression

It’s rare that I feel some hesitation with a game that so perfectly fits my system. It might be due to the fact that neither team has a top pitcher going for them, making this series feel a little bit funny. Either way, all parameters are satisfied, and trusting my system I follow it despite a little bit of hesitation. We’ll go a little smaller than usual as a result, but we’re still in for an ABC chase progression on this series.

The LA Dodgers are burning hot, winning five in ...

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 ...
