* Record 4-1* I can’t lie, I’m feeling good right now. Riding a three game win streak, let’s keep the money pouring in. Tonight is going to be tough. The Raptors host the Heat with the series tied at 2-2 and the Trail Blazers venture to Oakland facing a possible elimination game. Let’s see what I can do. Miami Heat @ Toronto Raptors The Raptors will again be without center Jonas…
NBA Playoff Predictions- May 10th
*Record 3-1* Last night was close… too close. But that’s the thrill of gambling. I had to frantically watch as both my picks barely covered the spread in overtime. By the skin of my teeth. When it was all said and done, I may or may not have had a little Jerry Maguire moment. Alas, I have more work to do and tonight we have the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs battling it out…
Rapid Fire MLB Predictions- May 10th
You know the drill. Home Team in Italics and Best Bets indicated with ** Last Night: 6-5 (+150 if betting $100 on every game) Overall Record: 61-36 (+2,440) Best Bets: 11-7 (+300) Kansas City (+160) over New York Yankees Tough matchup for the Royals against Masahiro Tanaka, but I’ll go with them because I’ll be on the same side as the House considering the Royals are receiving only 25% of bets….
NBA Playoff Predictions- May 9th
*Record 1-1* After a weekend hiatus from NBA predictions, I’m back and better than ever. The first matchup tonight will see the Miami Heat trying to defend their home court against the Raptors and even up the series at two a piece. Moving to the West Coast, Golden State ventures to Portland to redeem themselves after a 120-108 loss. Lets get right into it. Toronto Raptors @ Miami Heat After…
Rapid Fire MLB Predictions- May 9th
I don’t know if I’m just getting lucky or if I should move to Vegas and do this for a living because I was hot yesterday. It’s probably the former. Home Team in Italics and Best Bets indicated with ** Last Night: 11-4 (+860 if betting $100 on every game) Overall Record: 55-31 (+2,290) Best Bets: 9-6 (+220) Kansas City (+110) over New York Yankees The Royals don’t deserve to be underdogs…
Ranking the Best Teams in All of Sports
Weekly power rankings are ubiquitous in every sport. Yet how come I’ve never seen power rankings of teams across sports? I thought of this while watching the Golden State Warriors play the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 3 last night. Though they lost, I think the Warriors are clearly the best team in sports (in America at least) based on what they have accomplished over the last one to two…
Rapid Fire MLB Predictions- May 8th
I’m coming off another profitable day at the office, yet I’m hoping my best bets can turn around. Home Team in Italics and Best Bets indicated with ** Last Night: 9-7 (+165 if betting $100 on every game) Overall Record: 41-27 (+1,430) Best Bets: 6-6 (-80) Los Angeles (+155) over Toronto In terms of run differential, these teams are even, so I think it’s a no-brainer to take the Dodgers at…
Big Sexy Going Yard Has to Win the ESPY for Play of the Century
Three quick points on this landmark moment in history. One, if Bartolo Colon isn’t on your list of the ten greatest players to every play baseball, you’re an idiot. Two, the home-run call in Spanish, as you’d expect, is dynamite. And three, James Shields has got to be on suicide watch, am I wrong?
Firing Dave Joerger is a Horrible Decision by the Memphis Grizzlies
The Indiana Pacers decision to let Frank Vogel walk may have been questionable, but when I first heard of the Memphis Grizzlies choice to fire head coach Dave Joerger, I thought it was deplorable. However, apparently Joerger was trying to work his way out of Memphis, which makes it understandable for Memphis’s front office to be ticked off. With that said, this development will set the Grizzlies franchise back and…
Rapid Fire MLB Predictions- May 7th
