Astros Cover!

The Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 yesterday, giving us a 1-1 day and making our new system 3-1.

Unfortunately, the Blue Jays were unable to handle the Orioles, thus giving this experimental new system its first loss.

We could be laying some heavy juice in the next couple of days (as we did with the Jays) as we try to figure out the value of this new system. Stay tuned!

Two More Plays For Our New System

After unveiling a new system heavily influenced by the ERA of the starting pitchers, our Free MLB Picks have won back-to-back games. Today, this system gives us two plays--if you're willing to lay some HUGE chalk on one of them.

Toronto Blue Jays ML -170 over the Baltimore Orioles

Houston Astros ML -115 over the St. Louis Cardinals

We usually don't lay this much chalk--ever--but we're trying it out just for the sake of the new system.

Good luck!

Cubs Make it Four Straight in MLB!

Our Free MLB Picks started slow, and as always, we told you to hang in there and wait for the inevitable hot streak.

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you your hot streak.

The Cubs knocked off the Astros 7-2 yesterday, giving us a four-game win streak as well as finally getting our Free MLB Picks back to .500 at 8-8.

As we've said countless times, it usually takes until about mid-May for these picks to really start getting into a groove, and that's exactly what's happening.

MLB Tonight, NBA Futures

Despite the deciding game seven of the Hornets and Spurs being played tonight, we do not have a play on this game that fits our system. We do, however, have one MLB play for tonight.

Chicago Cubs -1 1/2 (+125) over the Houston Astros

Lance Berkman and the Astros are hot, but Alfonso Soriano and the Cubs are hotter. Our Free MLB Picks went 3-0 on Saturday, and we expect to add another win to our record.

In addition to the MLB play tonight, we have some NBA Future Bets on the Pistons/Celtics Eastern Conference Finals. These are not Free NBA Picks, but are plays we are making nonetheless. They are:

Pistons to win the Series (+115 at Bodog)

Will the Celtics Win a Road Game in this Series? NO (+165 at Bodog)

So there you have them. We like the Pistons to advance the NBA Finals and the Celtics road woes to continue.

For tonight, though, just the Cubs to beat up on the Stros. Good luck!

UPDATE: We took the Pistons in the series at +115 odds.

Tuesday's Free MLB Pick

Tough break in a crazy game yesterday, but we feel better about our Free MLB Pick tonight.

Houston Astros ML (+110) over the San Francisco Giants

Lance Berkman and the 'Stros have been playing well, and should take care of the Giants, even on the road.

Time For a Free MLB Pick

Our Free NBA Playoff Picks are struggling a bit, so we're going to try and re-configure some of the stats from the first round and factor them into the system.

In the meantime, we finally have a Free MLB Pick with some nice value, and not a day too soon.

Houston Astros ML -124 over Washington Nationals

This is about as much chalk as we'll lay, but we couldn't resist jumping on this play. Carlos Lee and the Astros have won five straight and are a good bet to do so again tonight at home.

Good luck!
