What a friggin clown. He says that "Shota Imanaga and his off-speed stuff have troubled the Brewers". Which is so divorced from reality it qualifies Phil to work for MSNBC or the New York Times and tell us the border is secure under Biden/Harris and Joe Biden is "sharp as a tack". Shota has pitched against the Brewers once. He went 4 and a third innings, giving up 8 hits and 7 earned runs. Brewers don't seem to have been "troubled" a bit by Shota. ESPN's pitcher vs batters shows the Brewers lineup hitting .278 and slugging .500 against Shota. Again, quite the opposite of what Phil says. But Phil doesn't stop with one false narrative. He goes on to say "The Cubs have a solid edge in the bullpen". The Cubs bullpen ERA is 4.65, the Brewers 4.90, with EV Analytics 'True ERA' giving the Brewers pen a 4.22 ERA and the Cubs a 4.33 ERA. So under the most favorable interpretation you could say the Cubs' bullpen has a slight edge.

 Please. You dolts getting whipped into a frothing frenzy from the same lying Democrat Media Complex that told you:

Hunter's laptop was planted by Russia

Joe Biden is 'sharp as a tack'

The border was secure under Biden/Harris

Saying covid came from a Chinese lab was a "debunked" racist conspiracy

Saying covid came from Chinese ppl eating bats wasn't racist at all! It's what all the virtuous people say!

Kamala Harris is GREAT and anyone who doesn't vote for her is a racist

Michael Brown had his hands up

Jacob Blake was a good Samaritan who was trying to stop a fight between strangers

Trump threatened Liz Cheney with a firing squad

Trump called Nazis "fine people"

Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, and we will ignore AOC, Tim Walz, and David Hogg doing the exact same "salute"

Trump talking to auto workers about an economic bloodbath was Trump threatening violence

Jussie Smollette was almost lynched by Trump supporters in the middle of the night in deep blue Chicago in a polar vortex, but fought them off while never dropping his sub

Trump and Putin communicated via a server at Alfa Bank

Officer Sicknick was beaten to death

Border Patrol agents whipped migrants

Trump called dead vets a bad word 

Trump staffers used Russian cellphones

Trump ordered Lafayette Park cleared for a photo op

 Nick Sandman got into the face of a sweet innocent "Native American"

I won't be checking back to read your responses. Over 37,000 posts! Are you that pathetic of a loser, or are you paid to push Democrat propaganda???? No sane person would want to see what pathetic simpletons who think EVERY SINGLE THING the Democrat Media Complex tells them to think. While you Democrats imagine yourselves to be oh-so-brilliant, the reality is that Orwell was talking about people just like you when he wrote: "She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her."

Joke's on us! He was right.

Joke's on us! He was right.

And this is example 10 million of why you shouldn't gamble. Everything pointed to the Philly game going over, there were 19 hits, 6 walks, and a couple of errors, but the game didn't come close to going over. A measly FOUR runs. Everything pointed to Houston continuing to not score today in MN, but Houston put up 5 runs. As for proof that you shouldn't gamble, look at Las Vegas. All those glitzy buildings are paid for by gamblers losing.

There's no evidence to support your assertion, simple as that. Astros haven't played a road game this year. Last year Astros played worse on the road, the same as virtually every team in every sport ever. This year Houston has yet to score more than 3 runs in a game. They've played all their games in their climate-controlled park. Today they are playing outdoors in MN. Temperature is 42. The pick is Hou team total under or it's nothing.

 I hope English is not your primary language. Your comprehension is woeful.

@yvesxiaoyu

A little research would show you that in back to back revenge situations revenge usually wins. You could also see that last month Indiana got crushed by the Celtics, then two days later beat the Celtics.

 "morons" - Your spelling and grammar say a lot about you, and it certainly isn't 'Hey, this person is intelligent'.

@mikebdb

 A. Gas prices are only down relative to the higher prices earlier under Biden; they're higher than under Trump. It doesn't matter to me, I think gas prices should be high. That's how you get conservation and better fuel economy and electric vehicles, not by government decree. I'd prefer higher gas prices due to an increase in the gas tax to fund road and ridge repair, not due to Biden inflating the currency and trying to limit American production, thus sending more money to Russia and Middle Eastern dictatorships.

B. Yes, it's usually not possible to reverse price increases due to inflation, the goal is to stop further increases

C. We're not going to only deport the criminal illegals, and even if we did and stopped the flood coming in that would be a huge ipprovement over Democrats' de facto open borders and treasonous refusal to enforce the laws on the books

D. Lots of Democrat voters got screwed under Biden, which is why virtually every demographic except mentally-ill 'trans' people and whiny little bitches saw a large shift towards Trump

Got any more trite lines you wanna parrot?

I don't post picks often, but when I do they are winners.

As for 'Bangtheboook', if they aren't deliberately giving bad picks, they must have no human involvement in what they post or in looking at the results of their 'model'. Because a human would look at a projection that differs from the line by 39 points and say 'That isn't right'.

@umgmu

I'm sure UK would do the same for a Democrat politician, too. But the Dems are too busy with Drag Queen Story Hour to go to a football or basketball game. Maybe they could get Joe Biden to show up if they told him there would be lots of young girls to sniff. As for Kamala, she will proceed unburdened by what has been, because the significance of the passage of time is that time passes.

I think those sites that offer their free picks and analysis must be trying to give bad picks. As in, they're fronts for the gambling sites pushing players to bad bets. At the very least, do you really think 'winnersandwhiners' has time to do a thorough analysis of 100+ games today? 'Bangthebook' picked whoever is playing VCU to not only cover but win outright. I said to myself 'Okay, that seems unlikely'. Then the next one I looked at was St Thomas vs North Dakota. This is what 'Bangthebook' says, "We have this one finishing with a projected score of 91-58 in favor of the Fighting Hawks. Not only will North Dakota pick up the win, but look for them to cover at +5.5." Really? You expect a 5.5 point dog to win by 33 points? Why haven't you mortgaged your house and gone to Vegas, because that looks like the biggest lock in history. Or do you routinely find lines off by 38 points, in which case why aren't you wealthy and retired? My streak survivor pick today is St Thomas, boldly going against the prediction they lose by 33...

Also, nothing personal, but some of the analysis provided by Covers' experts is headshakingly bad. I read one that said 'Team x beat team y last time out, expect the same here'. Sure, because that's how it works. Just look at the previous game and assume the same thing will happen again. Weird, because I have NBA teams in back-to-back revenge games at 13-7 ats this season...

@JUSTWINBABY61

 Oh. 

If he's been out for weeks, why would the team rally around him this week when they didn't last week? Or the week before?

I'm not an expert, but Saint Peter looks like a good play. That's way better advice than you'll get from so-called experts here and at other sites, who've offered some staggeringly bad takes and dumb plays. And I don't mean forum posters.

  Somalia is not an island. It's a  hole, but it's not an island.

Same with me. Like I need a reminder of what an awful loss that was by Minnesota after having a big lead at home in a revenge game against a team playing less than 23 hours after their previous game ended over a thousand miles away.
