MLB Opening Day

Opening Day!

It's opening day for all you retirees, morbidly obese, and weird uncles. Yeah today marks the day that all other sports fans die a little inside as we hit the lowpoint in all of the athletic seasons. The good news is, we have gambling to make things interesting. While baseball has promised to "speed up" the game this year we all know it really doesn't matter. Is baseball the most loathed "sport" here at Dirty Picks? Yeah, probably. But in all fairness, it's not that bad! Hell you get to sit outside, drink overpriced beer and hot dogs all day! While your fat ass is increasing your caloric intake beyond anything the human body is capable of, catch some rayz and get a tan! Lord knows you haven't been outside in weeks! Today, I would reccomend loading up on bets! Put in at least 15 and just ride it out, we'll do our best to stay involved in baseball this year, but I can't promise anything. Here is our Opening Day slate:

NYY U8
TOR +1.5
DET -1.5
COL +1.5
BOS -115
PIT +1.5
LAD -1.5
SEA -1.5
OAK -1.5

MLB Picks

BJ's Diamond Dynasty Picks

Last night I went 4-1 in my debut MLB picks and as much as I dislike the different facets of baseball. i've decided that it's reall "talkin' baseball" that I despise. When old people say words like, ballpark, ballgame, and ball cap I want to punch them right in the ball-face. Enough of ranting though, today, we look to continue our winning ways with three baseball picks, not that you need them after last night's stone cold, stylin and profilin pick of the week hit... I SMELL A PARLAY!

LA Dodgers (-150) at San Diego (WINNER!)

New York Yankees (-155) at Houston  (L)

Tampa (-172) at Toronto  (L)

Miami (+1.5) versus Colorado (WINNER!)

BJ's K K K Strikeout Picks!

Today is the worst day in America: Opening Day. A day in which people celebrate a "past time" and not a sport. A past time in which cast offs from other sports get a chance to stand around and chew while raking in the dough. I could go on and on about how much baseball sucks, but really, it's just the fans that try to justify it as some rigorous, grueling game that pisses me off. To those who enjoy the game, but recognize that it's nowhere near the physical level of basketball or football: Thank you and enjoy your ice cold summer ale at the ole ballpark.

As a matter of fact, enjoy one on me, BJ, as I hit you with some winners to keep your beer frosty. 

Seattle (+1.5) @ LA Angels (WINNNNNNEERRR!!!)
King KKK Felix!!! That's right! Expect to see plenty of innings filled with K's as Felix Hernandez goes to California and dominates those hippies and hipsters in LA. There is no way the Mariners score more than 1 run, but Felix isn't going out there and giving up 3 smoke bombs to these assholes. Plus, Seattle is riding a Super Bowl high, supplemented by a marijuana high and if you take that, and add in the fact that this game is being played in a city with two high profile basketball teams, well, you got a Mariner's win. That's why this game is my Ric Flair, Stylin and Profilin lock of the WEEK!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Other Free MLB Picks:

Minnesota at  Chicago White Sox (-175) (WINNER!)

Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins (-175) (WINNER!)

Toronto at Tampa (-1.5) (WINNER!)

Boston (-114) at Baltimore (L)

@en_cohen: Ryan Howard's salary is higher than LeBron's and the Phillies are gonna have to tank for at least five years, so basically, fuck baseball.
