MLB Picks and Predictions: Toronto Blue Jays at Oakland Athletics
This one has caused quite a stirring conversation in the VIP forum, and as a key part of this debate, I figured I’d feature our “no bet” decision on Facebook.
My argument as to why it is best to stay away:
nine runs from the Athletics? If they can slug like that theyre dangerous. I dont think they can keep that up though, and still see conflict from zcode and no value in the line. ...
MLB Picks and Predictions: Cincinnati Reds Vs Los Angeles Dodgers – $100 Contest Game
This is an obvious no bet in my system. But in our competition, well, that’s a completely different story…
You can see that this is a coin flip game with conflicting parameters, despite the sharp odds on the Dodgers. Here is why I’m staying away:
Dodgers are tearing the world up, but the Reds have been steady this year and have an excellent pitcher of their own on the mound. I don’t see any value in -170, though I do think the Dodgers will win. This ...
MLB Picks and Predictions: Atlanta Braves at New York Mets
In what was once the best rivalry in the National League East through the late 90s, the Braves and Mets have faded into a lukewarm competition in recent years. In part because the Mets have been awful, but also partly due to the fact that the personality and history of the rivalry has gone.
For me, this is a simple no bet in my system. The Braves are the better team by a significant margin, but the Mets are playing much better baseball of late. The Mets are ...
MLB All Star Game Picks and Predictions:
Look, the MLB All Star Game is a coin flip. There is no system. No computerized data will help us here. There’s too many variables.
Two great managers.
Two great rosters.
Two great starting pitchers.
The deepest, best teams in baseball, assembled for fun. ...
MLB Picks and Predictions: Sunday Night Baseball – St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
This is a very tough game. There’s conflicted Z-Code output, two aces (one far more profitable than the other), No real momentum, an 81% chance of a close game according to the algorithm, and the perceived better team on the road.
THis is a no bet most of the time, but I point to two variables that make this a system play.
First, the pitcher profitability feature of Z-Code shows that in flat better systems, Travis Wood is incredibly unprofitable long-term. If you supported him each time ...

MLB Picks and Predictions: Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers
I saved my followers a lot of money on this series.
Every once in a while, the Brewers do this to us. They take a much better team playing decent baseball and they completely derail them. With Ryan Braun back in the lineup, Milwaukee has a ton of momentum here.
Still, they decided to go with an ineffective pitcher in the closing game of the series. He faces off against Mike Leake, who is having a phenomenal year so far. Further, the Reds have sweep resistance – A statistical ...
MLB Picks and Predictions, 7/6: Seattle Mariners at Cincinnati Reds – B Bet Progression
As Z-Code predicted, our A bet fell short when the Reds failed to show up for us. The bats were silenced by a mediocre pitcher on their home field. Without Z-Code support we forged forward, and now we enter a B bet in another game that lacks algorithm backup.
The computer nailed game one, and it projects another similar result in game two. Still, I like these pitching matchups and will move forward with my B bet. At home, I don’t think the Reds ...
MLB Picks and Predictions July 4th: Milwaukee Brewers at Washington Nationals
Happy Independence Day — and what better than to feature the team from our nation’s capital.
We hit our B bet in my Orioles progression, and our featured over/under bet came through as well. Just for following on Facebook, that’s two wins! Combined with the first two bets after hockey finished and we’re 4-0, 3-0 with my Z-Code features. A nice run. ...
MLB Baseball Picks: Baltimore Orioles Vs Chicago White Sox – B bet in Progression
I’m still feeling good about this series. The Orioles made a pitching change, but I still think with full Z-Code support and all parameters of my system satisfied, our road hesitations should not prevent us from moving forward in the system. ABC progression, B bet.
We lost a little over a unit in the first game of this series, now we try to win that back plus 1/2 a unit additional profits. Let’s close out this series!
Orioles 6 – White Sox 3
