I don't really like when I see that I like a lot of games, but I double checked every game, and every game that I chose I am confident in.

I am looking for writers for my blog, on my site, if you are interested, somehow make it so I can contact you, I am pretty sure you cannot post emails here on the forum, maybe like name(at)site(dot)com?? I am not sure.

Thanks,

Ryan

3-1 in the early game, losing 1 underdog pick, good outing blown by KC bullpen.

sorry for the wrong time posted for the phillies, the site i use to research games said 4:05

 

[SelectiveAscent]

tigers win, rays lose, phillies losing..

Still probably a winning day, but a losing day in my book...

 

[ELMO75]

any day with a + sign next to it is a winning day in any book. Solid picks again today Selective.

Rays put a BS lineup behind Jackson today. Sorry but Matt Harrison should never 3 hit a MLB team, soft tossing lefty. Rays rested their bats so that Sunday's lineup will be stacked and Kazmir might have the benefit of a few runs to work with. Can't remeber last time Kazmir made it through 5 innings without a PC of 110.

Really like your thinking in games played. Top play for Sunday IMO Milwaukee w/ Suppan over Kershaw. Should be another inflated line and a solid + play.

Appreciate the picks, good luck going forward.

Thanks, I have not looked at today's games yet, but Kershaw has been pitching well lately.
