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
MLB Picks: Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox
We’re all over this one. The value in the line far eclipses our slight hesitations about launching an aggressive progression here.
Hammel is far from a dominant pitcher, but he’s been incredibly profitable this season. He’s 7-4, with a terrible 5.09 ERA, despite my opinion that he’s a solid pitcher with good stuff. He’s produced nearly 900 dollars of profit in a flat betting system, though, and his Orioles have lost his last two starts by just one run. I think he bounces back.
The Orioles are on the road, but against the White Sox, does that really matter? I think they’re the far better team.
Tons of value in the line
Better team ...
MLB Picks and Predictions: Cincinnati Reds at Texas Rangers
Not a lot of options today. I have two very low confidence system plays in my forum, and this is not one of them. Still, it seems like a nice Z-Code play with a low confidence signal. Z-Code is on the Rangers, but let me point out some conflicting parameters that led me to stay away. I may throw a small bet on this at game time if line reversals are on our side, but right now I’m off this one.
My system breaks this one down in the following way:
Texas ...
MLB Picks: San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres
I don’t understand the line on this one. The Giants have a pitching edge and are clearly the better team in this intra-Californian rivalry. -115 sounds like a steal, and I’m not one to pass up the opportunity to open a progression on a line like this.
Yes, it’s true that the Giants have lost two in a row, but are the Padres really playing any better? They’ve lost five of their last six, outscored by sixteen runs over that span including three losses to the Giants.
Looking ahead, the Giants ...
