After a decent start to the week, yesterday’s “put these on the card” was our worst in the 6 weeks we have been doing this blog. You know I really try to give everyone winners and a little entertainment on these daily gambling blogs. I know I always deliver the entertainment. But yesterday, I fell flat on my face on the picks. Never again will we go 0-3, we fight back today.
Because it is times like these you learn to bet right again. I have changed my approach today doing 2 NBA picks and only one MLB pick. Doing the research and going outside the comfort zone to grab 3 winners. Right now we are at 6-6, after today we will be at 9-6 so put these on these on the card!
Minnesota Twins ML -154 vs. Cubs
The cubs have been a surprisingly good team this year. Even there pitcher going tonight Drew Smyly has a 3-1 record with a 3.05 ERA. That is pretty damn good, but it is nothing compared to Sonny Gray. This year Gray has been the best pitcher on staff for the Twins. He is an early Cy Young favorite with a 4-0 record, a 1.35 ERA and 47 K’s. Sonny has been dominant and I see that going into today’s game. It should be a good game until the Twins get to Smyly around the 5th and Gray cruises to another win. Plus the Twins are home, give me the Minnesota boys today!
Miami Heat ML -225 vs. Knicks
I am very proud of my Knicks this year and especially not giving up and losing the series on the home court. They protected Madison Square Garden and that was awesome to see them fight for it. I have to be realistic because I love my money more than my Knicks. The Heat are just the better team, and the Knicks don’t play well in Miami. Hammer the Heat tonight to win by 10+ and congrats to my Knicks for a great building block year.
Golden State Warriors ML +120 @ Lakers
Sorry but Steph, Draymond and Clay are just not done playing basketball this year. They are winners and they know how to come back in a series. I expect them to come out guns blazing from 3 and making this game go back home. The Warriors are going to make Lebron take them out at home and really earn this series. This series was always going 7. This bet is just what will happen even if the odds don’t say it will, we all know it’s going 7.
