Just How We Drew it Up, Free MLB Picks Are 100% in 2011

And that's the way that we expect our Free MLB Picks to go all season.

The Brewers edged the Twins, overcoming a 7-0 deficit to earn a one-run win in Minnesota and give our first Free MLB Pick of the season a winning result.

So, after a long wait, there you have it: our Free MLB picks are officially hitting 100% in 2011 (1-0).

As we mentioned, now that we have the system the way we like it, we'll be rolling out many more Free MLB Picks in the coming weeks.

As always, stay tuned.

Brewing Up a Free MLB Pick

Though we've been avoiding baseball like the plague this summer, we do like the value in this pick today:

Milwaukee Brewers -112 over the Minnesota Twins

Very manageable chalk on a pitching matchup we like, with the underrated Chris Narveson on the mound for Milwaukee.

This is our first Free MLB Pick of the year, if you can believe it, but we're hoping to get something going beginning with interleague play. Our system historically takes a couple months before we are confident in the data, and usually we make the mistake of rolling picks out too early and getting appropriately frustrated and swearing them off. Now, in addition to our newfound love of Arena Football, we intend to have plenty of summer wagers in the month of July.

You asked for more free picks, and you shall receive. Of course, that won't stop us from continuing our analysis on legal gambling, aka the stock market.

Stock Lemon's Role in The Bucky Channel Relaunch

For those familiar with this site, you know that we frequently link to and are frequently linked by the fine folks at The Bucky Channel.

It's a curious relationship between our sites as we are both simply trying to provide our readers with more content that we feel they would be interested in reading. The reason we have this kind of relationship with them is because, honestly, they were some of the first people to help us out when we were new to the blogging game, and we did the same for them. And neither of us has forgotten it.

So, as you wipe those sentimental tears away, we're proud to say that we have played a small part in what is becoming The Bucky Channel 2.0. Regular Bucky Channel readers will notice a change in layout, and that change will come with a whole new staff of writers joining the team.

And we are one of them... kind of.

As we have done in the past, we'll be providing content through a semi-regular, semi-forgotten about feature called The Lemmy Channel, in which we look into interesting tidbits relating to their home town teams up in Wisconsin. We'll look at different betting trends as they pertain to the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers (and maybe even the Milwaukee Iron of the Arena Football League) to cater to their readership.

We'll post tidbits about our analysis here, with the main content gracing the pages of The Bucky Channel 2.0.

So welcome, Wisconsinites, for those of you who didn't make it over for the first few installments of The Lemmy Channel. Please bring your finest beers and cheeses to Stock Lemon (or donate some cash to us using the Paypal icon on the left, so that we can purchase our own!).

Brewers Give Our Free MLB Picks a Win!

We haven't had too many Free MLB Picks this summer, as the system cooled off considerably last yaer at this time and we didn't want to go through the same thing this year. We decided to pull the trigger on a pick last night, though, and we were rewarded.

The Brewers beat the Dodgers 4-1 to give us a win in the MLB (and at +134), improving our Free MLB Picks to 100% this month! Hooray!

Due to the success of the pick, we might irresponsibly force out a few more in the coming days out of over-excitement. So stay tuned for that.

Dusting Off Our Free MLB Picks

We haven't had a Free MLB Pick in some time but we have one tonight.

Milwaukee Brewers +134 over the Los Angeles Dodgers

After Prince Fielder's stalking outside of the Dodgers locker room last night, it looks like the Brewers should be pumped up for the series finale tonight.

Good luck!

Our Free MLB Picks Are Undefeated!

Our Free MLB Picks are 1-0 to start the young season, and we're looking to build off what is now a 7-2 record in our last nine games. 

Cubs -1 1/2 over the Brewers

Carlos Zambrano makes a habit out of feasting on the Brewers (no earned runs in two games in Milwaukee last season), and he should help the Cubs avenge a walk off loss last night. 

Good luck!

Some MLB Futures to Ponder

We were looking at some MLB Futures today and saw a couple of frontrunners at decent value. 

As many of you know, since Jenn Sterger became a fan of our Stock Lemon Facebook page, we try tie her in to anything and everything that we do that can even remotely be traced to her, hence the picture of her wearing a Cubs hat. 

This, of course, ties in to this particular post because we really see value in the Cubs odds to win the NL Central. 1/2 odds don't seem like a great value now, but come July you'll be glad you got on the Cubs when you did. 

With the Brewers (11/2) likely to fall from the high brought on by last year's Wild Card appearance, we see the Cardinals (3/1) as the only real threat for the NL Central crown. In the end, the Cubs are just too good to let either of these teams take the division. We're not saying they'll win it all this year, in fact we'd strongly persuade you not to make a bet that crazy, but the division should be all theirs. 

Meanwhile, the AL East appeals to us as well. The division boasts the three headed monster that is the Red Sox (7/5), Rays (5/1), and Yankees (6/5). After being the odd team out last year, the Yankees made some major free agent upgrades--and for once spent their money wisely. We like the Yankees to get back to the playoffs via the division crown. 

We don't have a system to support us in these predictions, just, we think, a little common sense.  

The Lemmy Channel Is Back For Season Two!

It's official: The Lemmy Channel has been renewed for another season after copying The Office by airing just a few episodes in its first run.

If you're unfamiliar with The Lemmy Channel, it's a weekly posting by Lemmy and the rest of us at Stock Lemon invading The Bucky Channel's turf.

Since we focus on sports wagering and The Bucky Channel focuses on Wisconsin sports, The Lemmy Channel is about The World of Sports Wagering from Wisconsin's perspective.

As we did back in April with the Milwaukee Brewers, we'll take a look at some of the betting trends surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks.

Tune in to the rest of the Season Two Premiere right here on The Bucky Channel.

Playing a Heavy Pair of Aces

We have two picks for today's MLB post-season action, and the total weight of the starting pitchers for our two winners is well over 600 pounds.

Speaking of pounds, we hope to make some of them for a few of Lemmy's new European friends. Check out the Lemmy's Friends section on the right-side of the page, which includes international punters from England and Italy, among other countries. For the rest of you, we hope to make you some dollars, as always.

On to the Free MLB Picks for today...

CC Sabathia and the Brewers ML -128 over the Phillies

Carlos Zambrano and the Cubs ML -158 over the Dodgers

Yesterday was a rough one for the NL Central, as both of these two teams fell in their respective series openers. We like the Cubs to rebound at home, and CC Sabathia to continue to carry the Brewers.

Hopefully, our winnings today will be as huge as these two starting pitchers.

Good luck!

We're Ready For the MLB Playoffs

Now that we're one game away from knowing all eight postseason participants, here's a quick look at the match-ups, with our early prediction highlighted in yellow.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs

Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Somebody vs. Tampa Bay Rays

Of course, once the actual playoffs start, we'll take our 63% record and bring back the Free MLB Picks all the way through the World Series.

Brewers Win!

The Brewers defeated the Cardinals, giving us yet another Free MLB Pick win!

Stay with us as our picks, though sporadic at this time, are on fire!

The Wait is Over!

It's been a long July but we finally have a play today.

Milwaukee Brewers +108 over the St. Louis Cardinals

Good luck!

Brewers and Orioles Come Through

For the second day in a row, one of our Free MLB Picks was in the Orioles/Brewers series. This time, though, we came out on top. The Brewers edged the O's 3-2, well under the 9 runs that the over/under was set at.

With this win, our Free MLB Picks are now 13-7, and 6-1 in their last seven.

More Brewers and Orioles

Yesterday, we had the Brewers to beat the Orioles and it didn't happen. Today, we're looking for better luck in this series with a total.

Brewers/Orioles UNDER 9

These two teams used up all of their offense in yesterday's 8-5 slugfest, so we expect them to come back down to Earth today.

Padres Win

The Padres beat the Tigers last night, 6-2, ending their four game winning streak. The game would have been part of a streak for our Free MLB Picks here at Stock Lemon, but unfortunately the Orioles downed the Brewers giving us a 1-1 day.

Our new Free MLB Pick system is now 12-7.

Two Free MLB Picks Today

Our Free MLB Picks have won four in a row, and the new system is now 11-6. We are looking for five and six straight today with two picks.

Milwaukee Brewers ML (-140) over the Baltimore Orioles

San Diego Padres ML (-128) over the Detroit Tigers

Good luck!

Brewers Win!

The Brewers hammered the Blue Jays 7-0 yesterday, relying on homers from just about everybody to get the job done. As we said over at The Bucky Channel yesterday, we had faith in Manny Parra, and while the Brewers offense got the job done, you can never argue with a pitcher giving up no runs through seven innings.

The Brewers win gives our new Free MLB Pick system a 10-6 record.

Special Tuesday Lemmy Channel Episode

To go along with some of the interests of The Bucky Channel's readers, The Lemmy Channel was moved to today rather than its regular prime time slot on Monday.

More specifically, this week's edition highlights the Free MLB Pick of the Milwaukee Brewers over the Toronto Blue Jays, which starts momentarily.

With that, we end our five episode premiere of The Lemmy Channel. Fear not, though, as The Lemmy Channel will resume on The Bucky Channel at a later date.

Interleague Action Tonight

The picks in our Free MLB Picks system have been sporadic lately, as the numbers on interleague play are not as solid. We do have one interleague play tonight.

Milwaukee Brewers -122 over the Toronto Blue Jays

Good luck!

This Week On The Lemmy Channel...

With no NBA Finals action and a small slate of MLB today, this Monday is the perfect time to tune into The Bucky Channel for the latest episode of The Lemmy Channel!

This week, Lemmy reiterates his position on the unders in Milwaukee Brewer games, which are hitting over 61% on the year, including 10-3 since Lemmy advised The Bucky Channel's readers to go under on their local team.
