2026-07-18: ☢️ Nuke of the Day ☢️ Using my DraftKings MLB All-Purpose Boost here on a +EV play that I really like when diving deeper. 2u - Jesus Luzardo U7.5 Strikeouts (-114) The -147 odds on DK is 30 cents better than next in the market and most places have this at 6.5 with a tiny bit of plus odds juice. Luzardo has seen the Mets a ton and they hit .288 off him which is really good. His K-rate is sub-20%… → Tail this pick
2026-07-18: ⚾ .5u - Ian Seymour U4.5 Strikeouts (+145) Going to take a shot here and go against some of my normal research. His K/9 is due to regress over a full point, so that checks out but his xERA is almost a full run better and he has dominated the Sox in limited action so far. I think this could be the time around where the hitters start to figure him out a bit. BP Pal has him at 4.7 K's and Boston has… → Tail this pick
2026-07-18: ⚾ MLB POTD 🔏 Let's see if we can stay in the flames with these 🔥 ⚾ 1u - Brandon Pfaadt U15.5 Outs (-115) Pfaadt has not been sharp this year and he gets a brutal matchup against a starting Cardinal lineup. He's strung together a few good starts in a row but hasn't gone past 16 outs since April. Will happily take a shot down to -125 on this one. → Tail this pick
2026-07-18: 📝7/17 Recap 📈 We're baaaaack! Played a lot more than usual, so I went with some smaller unit sizing. Still up over 3u but could have been a massive day if I kept it all around 1u. We missed our No Sweat Bet, so be on the lookout for that bonus bet play to recoup there. 📊 7/17 Record: 10-5-1 (+3.3u) ✅ Singer Outs, Cavalli K's, Kelly K's, Kremer K's, Jax K-Ladder, Singer K's, Jump K-Ladder… → Tail this pick
2026-07-17: ⚾ DraftKings MLB No Sweat 🙅🏼🥵 2u parlay (+601) - Yankees First 5 Innings +0.5 - Griffin Jax 5+ Strikeouts - Seattle Mariners ML - Over 9.5 Runs Minnesota Twins @ Chicago Cubs → Tail this pick
