Djack's Daily Baseball Picks 5-10-17

By Djack

I guranteed 3-0 yesterday and I fucking delivered it. That's what I call being a man of your word, someone you can respect. Looked like I was about to fall right off the wagon, but I fought through the adversity, and hit one over the moon yesterday. 14-16 on the year now after that terrific showing from me, still under .500, although that'll change after today. I went 3-0 yesterday and hopefully I'll do the same today. Don't quite have the same confidence today, but I'm hot, so you never know.

Bet #1
Cardinals have been real hot lately and the Marlins have been real cold. There's nothing in this game that tells me that trend doesn't continue today. Cardinals are +1.5 in the run line, definitely surprising based on how these teams have played lately. Cardinals also dominate the starting pitching matchup with Lance Lynn taking the bump for them against Tommy Koehler. Cardinals should win easy, fact that they're the underdog has me drooling over this pick.

Bet #2
Rangers have Yu Darvish taking the mound against a Padres lineup that isn't good to begin with. Padres aren't going to score many runs if any off Darvish, so I'll be taking the Rangers tonight. They are the favorite and at +105 they aren't giving you much incentive to take them. I think this is just a really safe bet and that there's almost no chance the Rangers don't cover tonight. Why not take it if it's a free win, right.

Bet #3
Red Sox are somehow the underdog against the Brewers today, you know what that means, take em, and take a lot of them. The starting pitching matchup favors the Brewers, but I don't know, I just can't see the Red Sox struggling this much against a mediocre at best team. As long as the Red Sox don't allow double digit runs again today, they should win this one. If they don't, then maybe it's time to reevaluate how good this Red Sox team really is because they haven't impressed me whatsoever this season. Still they're supposed to be a better team than the Brewers and they're the underdog, so I gotta take em based off that principle.
