I’m coming off my first losing night in nine tries, so I’ll look to rebound today. Home Team in Italics and Best Bets indicated with ** Previous Night (May 13th): 6-9 (-400 if betting $100 on every game) Overall Record: 74-51 (+2,200) Best Bets: 13-10 (+135) Chicago White Sox (+160) over New York Yankees The White Sox may be facing Masahiro Tanaka, but considering they have a pretty powerful lineup, they have great value…
NBA Playoff Predictions- May 15th
*Record 5-4* I’m excited to watch today’s Game 7 between the Raptors and Heat. All of the games have been decided by eight points or less, signifying how even this series has been. But who will be joining LeBron James’ in the Conference finals? Will it be his old friend and ex-team? Or will it be the new kids on the block, who are backed by an entire nation. Miami Heat…
I’m Not a Big Papi Fan, But Damn is He a Beast
Big Papi literally put the Red Sox on his back today in a win over the Astros. With performances like the one he had today, it makes you wonder why he would retire. I mean, he’s on pace for another 30+ home run season, minimum. Now, as evidenced by the title of the article, I’m not a fan of David Ortiz for the most part. And I’m a Bostonian (notice…
Here is How the Oklahoma City Thunder Can Upset Golden State
Although everyone assumed the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs were on a collision course to meet in an epic Western Conference Finals, I say there is no need to worry because the Oklahoma City Thunder are more than a worthy alternative. However, there seems to be a consensus that the Thunder don’t have much of a chance to knock off the mighty Warriors. Many stats confirm this:…
Send Severino Down
I was just as excited as about any other Yankee fan last year when highly touted prospect Luis Severino was called up to the Bigs. Living up to the hype, Severino compiled a 2.89 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 62.1 innings pitched. The guy looked to be a stud in the making. At the start of 2016, although slated as the number four starter, Severino was expected to shine in…
Not So Fast: Here Are Five Players Bound to Regress After Hot Starts
As baseball’s first quarter draws to a close, we have learned a lot of things thus far. The Cubs are a juggernaut. That Clayton Kershaw guy is still pretty good. Everyone prematurely jumped on the Astros bandwagon. And, oh yeah, Bartolo Colon is, and always will be, the most interesting man in baseball. But it is important to remember that there is still a long way to go in the 2016 season….

Rapid Fire MLB Predictions- May 13th
After a two day hiatus, I’m back hoping to keep my hot streak rolling. Home Team in Italics and Best Bets indicated with ** Last Night (May 10th): 7-6 (+160 if betting $100 on every game) Overall Record: 68-42 (+2,600) Best Bets: 12-8 (+275) **Chicago Cubs (-150) over Pittsburgh The Cubs dropped their last two games to the Padres (the Padres?), so I’ll bet against the best team in baseball losing a…
Gronk To Be Madden 17 Cover Boy
Not a bad choice EA, not a bad choice at all. Despite being a Jets fan, I can’t help but admire how awesome Rob Gronkowski is. From trucking defenders and catching touchdown passes to partying on a boat with beautiful women, how can you not respect the guy? Don’t get me wrong, when the Jets and Patriots play I’m rooting for Gronk to get his teeth kicked in. In fact, how can I…
NBA Playoff Predictions- May 12th
*Record 4-3* And that’s why they call it gambling, folks. One day I’m at the top of the world, the next I’ve hit rock bottom. However, a wise Rocky Balboa once said,”It’s not how hard you can hit, its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” Rocky was clearly talking about continuing to bet the spread, right? Tonight we have just one matchup, but its a big one. The Spurs are on the…
