August 22nd Picks

Hey all,


  Tonight is going to be a pretty plain post as well. I figured I could at least put something up. I will have my picks for tonight but no overview. I hope you had a good weekend and had a good week picking.

August 20th pick results-

Aston Villa- Won 3-1
Mexico-       Won 3-1
Phillies-       Won 5-0
Braves-       Won 8-1
Brazil-         Won 3-2

Record for day 5-0

Record for the month 32-4


  I think tomorrow I will have this blog back to normal. I was just taking this weekend off. Tonight I will just do what I did for Saturdays picks and just simply give you some leads...

The Potential Picks-


Orebro-
Detroit- I didn't see this one at first. With Verlander pitching this should be a pretty solid pick
Atlanta-



 Sorry this blog has been so plain the last couple days. Thanks for your patience. I should have this thing back to full potential tomorrow

August 20th picks/lookback on day

August 19th results

Wolfsburg Result- loss 4-1
Texas Ranger Result- Won 7-4

1-1 for the day
27-4 overall


  If you look up the word fail in the dictionary, you will find the word Wolfsburg somewhere in the definition. I'm sorry, I should have known better than to make this a pick. I said from the beginning I didn't feel to good about this pick. I let the hype get to me. I should have put it as a possible pick. If it makes you feel any better (which I don't expect it to) a lot of people lost their streaks to this game as well. Great game to put up for SM. Moving on anyway...


No writeups on picks tonight. Definately the least colorful post by far. Here are some I will be looking at though. Whatever I pick, win or lose, I will add to my pick record. I hope this gives you guys a decent lead/idea on some picks

Off Tomorrow, No picks for Sunday. Picks for tomorrow will be up tonight

Hey all. Thank you for the support you have shown over the last week and a half. Over 13,000 blog views isnt that bad for such a short period of time. I will be taking tomorrow and Sunday off to take a break and spend some time with some friends and family. I will post some picks for tomorrow (8/20) but I wont be back till Monday. In the last week and a half this blog has gone 26-3 added a good amount of followers and consistent support. Good luck this weekend.


Thank you for your support,

August 19th Picks/lookback on day

August 18th pick results

D.C. United- Won (draw 1-1)

Record for day- 1-0
Overall- 26-3

Surprised D.C. struggled so much. At one point I was actually pulling for them to lose to see the leaderboard go down. It was a win-win to me.




Tomorrow I have 2 or 3 picks. It seems like SM is really trying to throw some tougher picks lately. These are the best I could find. I may stay away today.


The Picks...


Pick #1 Wolfsburg

        This pick didn't seem increadibly good to me at first. Borussia beat Bayern, who beat Wolfsburg. However, after doing a bit of research on this game, Borussia has a couple key players out and there are a lot of decent streaks being risked on this game. Also a fact, no game between these teams have ever ended without a goal. I think a draw is probably the most likely scenario.

Borussia Monchengladbach

Lucien Favre will have to do without the services of first-choice striker Igor de Camargo and defender Martin Stranzl who have picked up injuries. Roel Brouwers is serving a suspension after picking up a red card in last weekend's game against Stuttgart, and is set to miss the match on Friday.

Wolfsburg

Felix Magath will have a nearly full squad on hand, with only long-term absentees Arne Friedrich and Thomas Kahlenberg, as well as the dropped Diego, unavailable from his first-team squad. Ja-Cheol Koo is also injured after picking a knock in the match against Bayern Munich last Saturday and will join new signing Thomas Hitzlsperger on the sidelines

Pick #2 Texas Rangers-


      I really hate picking Texas 4 of the last 5 days, but so far last night was my most concerned day to pick them. The Rangers (72-52, 33-29 away) will travel tomorrow to face the White Socks (61-61, 27-34 home). The Rangers have looked pretty well on the road, the White Socks havn't looked to great at home. Texas will start Matt Harrison (3.19 ERA, 10-8, 95 strikeouts, 1.27 WHIP) on the mound, who has looked pretty well this season. Chicago will start Jake Peavy (4.69 ERA, 5-5, 69 strikeouts, 1.23 WHIP). The Rangers recently became #1 in batting average in the MLB surpassing Boston. Next to that, they rank 3rd in runs, 4th on base and 2nd in slugging %. The White Socks are pretty average in batting, ranking 19th in runs, 15th batting average, 13th on base and 19th in slugging %. This isn't a lock but it is a decent pick.


More soon... stay tuned

August 18th Picks/Lookback on day

August 18th Pick Results

Vindbjart Result- Won 3-2
Dinamo Result- Won 4-1

2-0 for day
Possible pick Results

Detroit Tigers Result- Loss 6-5
Atlanta Braves Result- Loss 7-5
Brazil Result-               Won 2-0
Texas Rangers Result- Won 4-3

I think I am just going to revert back to my original plans of picking 2-4 quality picks. That's what made this blog so successful in the first place. Also according to a poll I took earlier that is what you guys wanted. I dont think this experiment went that great.

Well back to safer things....

The Picks...




Pick #1 DC United-

      This is a pretty good pick. DC United has the draw option and look significantly better. DC United is 7-9-6 scoring 30 points and keeping their goal difference to 0. Chicago is 2-14-7 scoring 20 goals and having a -7 goal difference. The only thing I can see Chicago having an advantage in is playing at home. If DC United's team is healthy, there is a good chance they could pull out a win.


Thats actually all today. I cant really find anything else increadibly good.
