Serious Streak Survivor Strategies

Hey, I'm on page 1 sitting in 40th position, big whoop. Anyway, I'm taking the Tigers in Texas today to go 4-0 for July. I don't like my pick, since Flaherty, a righty, is starting for Detroit, and Texas can stack their lineup with lefty hitters who are excelling this season in case you haven't noticed. This is a late afternoon start which honestly is VERY iffy.

Yes I noticed. Good job X4. I should be right there with you at 3-0 but Frisco gave up 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th to Az the other night.However, I did salvage a push (lucky I got em at  u10) for the 2nd time in that series (AZ gave up 3 in the last 2 innings on June 29 for a push on u9). I'm sitting at 2-0-1. Just locked in Chi-Cle under 7.5 at the last minute. Don't have time to look up much else. Gotta get cooking and get ready for the festivities. Happy 4th & good luck!

 It’s a long month guys this coming from a guy who won back to back months last summer and I haven’t done diddily since I will tell you though it’s fair and they do pay! Root hard good luck!??????

I'm going against the Orioles road juggernaut today with the lefty Nick Lodolo for Cincinnati. It's the year of the lefty, so surely Reds can win 1 game at home or are they really that bad?

 Here’s how cruel it can be Rockies/Giants over 12 on Saturday 9 runs first 2/12 innings and the total ends up 10. Terrible!????

Yeah, that's baseball, man, just nuts. I see they've flipped the odds now on my Reds pick making Orioles a slight fav. Pete Alonso is just scorching hot right now for Baltimore. Mets have dropped to last place without their big bopper in the cleanup spot. The lack of a power hitter batting fourth seems to affect their whole lineup, plus they let Brandon Nimmo walk which was a mistake. He was a good leadoff hitter with an excellent eye and homerun power as well.

Everybody and their dog is taking Rays at home vs Yankees. I didn't like Rays arriving home like that after a successful road trip, so I took Bluejays with Gausman coming off a difficult start for him vs Roupp of Giants who I know very little about, so call me crazy if you want to. Toronto is coming off 2 consecutive road shutout losses, so their bats are ice cold and due to wake up in my opinion. Giants have come down from the mountainous heights of Colorado, should be interesting.

It's official; the Bluejays are a mess. Their hitting is woefully weak; their pitching is adequate at best, and now, yes now, their defense is horrifying. I mean, I could have caught the foul pop that Okamoto dropped and opened the floodgates. You could see Gausman sag severely after that gaffe. 

I'm 5-0 for the month. Only reason I'm not 6-0 is bc my Dodgers/Padres under pick took an extra day to go through. Has this happened to anyone else? It said my pick was still pending and wouldn't let me make a selection for the day. Very frustrating as I noticed it happens every now and then

I've had it happen quite often to me, but never for an entire day that I couldn't at least pick from a late-starting game, so very frustrating for you I am sure.

By the way, congrats to Ryan O'Hearn lefty power hitter for Pirates, 10 rbi's in 1 game! Orioles let him walk, and he has more than earned his Pittsburgh contract.

I just got back from my trip to the East Coast. I was able to catch the Pirates-Nationals game on the 4th of July. Unfortunately I didn't realize my Yankees was gonna be in town this weekend and I couldn't change my Plane ticket. That's a nice stadium they have in the Nations Capital. 

Yes, Yankees in Washington should be a great series. Ben Rice is really blossoming this year! but oh those contracts, Stanton and Judge.

So Joeriz66 has quietly reached 18, although not going well tonight with Cubs down 0-4 vs Reds in 8th inning.

So I have tried copying other top players picks and so far 3-0.

I'm going under 9.5 today in Mets/Phillies. Under is dangerous with 2 rightys pitching, but bats will still be asleep following the layoff.

@x4diezzz

 I was thinking about taking the Under in that game but decided to go with what I think will be easier with Cincinnati taking down Colorado tomorrow night.

Okay. I'm taking under 10.5, Padres at Royals in a spacious ballpark. Again just too much here in my worthless opinion for Michael King vs Seth Lugo, both former New Yorkers, King with Yankees and Lugo with Mets. 2 rightys is dangerous for sure allowing teams to load up with their lefty hitters. Again my thought is bats still sleeping after 4 days off.
