Rickjs handicapping picks wk of 04/5

Rickjs handicapping picks wk of 04/5 I am going to put out the baseball picks similar to the nhl. Leans and Plays. The only difference is that a play has every variable pointing to the side while a lean has all but 1. I do not anticipate much difference in the outcomes but its more for my record keeping. Today 1 lean in mlb 925 SEA - F Hernandez 926 OAK - B Sheets +135 I usually will be putting these picks out about an hour before the game but this one is clear cut with the public only 20% on Oakland tonight. Regarding the Duke Butler tonight. The line opened at -5.5 and is -7.5 at most books and -8 at a few. The public favors Duke by almost 2 to 1. Of the variables I look at 2 favor Butler and the other is neutral. Since in college basketball I don't use public percentages in my handicapping I need everything else to line up on 1 side before I bet it. So a pass for me tonight. Oh....The Ipad is great. I watched some of the first season of Saturday night live from the bellagio yesterday! Good Luck today RickJ Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com Twitter: rickjsportplays
Wedn mlb lean Tues we lost with Utah in the nba. It looked like it was going to be a cover with about 3 min left to go and Utah ahead by 12. But the end game didnt go our way and Utah only won by 1 in OT. Today a lean in mlb 903 SFO - M Cain 904 HOU - B Myers +140 There is another mlb possibility that starts around 4 pst and a potential nba play. If anything develops I will update my blog and twitter before the games. Good Luck Today RickJ Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com Twitter: rickjsportplays

And can we tell that because Myers has the +140 by his name?
I'd say so; finding better than +140 is tough, so I figure that's why he's got that number so high.

Another MLB lean Washington +160 Rickj
Thurs mlb lean We are off to a slow start in mlb going 0-3 on our first 3 picks. Today there is an afternoon game that is a lean: Washington +133 Also this evening there a reasonable chance of an nhl play. As always I will update my blog and twitter if anything develops.

Friday mlb Thurs we won with Washington +133. Today there is a likely lean in the evening games in mlb. Its close enough right now that I am going to wait until later this afternoon to put it out. Nothing else today appears to be even close. As soon as the game becomes clear I will post it. Good Luck today RickJ Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com Twitter: rickjsportplays
Friday mlb lean 925 - T Wakefield 926 KAN - K Davies +140 RickJ
Kc lean Rick , may i make a suggestion here? Kc bullpen is the worst in the majors right now , pitched 9 1/3 inn. Giving up 14 runs for a 1.5 runs for each inning pitched. My take here is if considering kc you only take them for the first 5 innings.
[QUOTE=rickj;20559]925 - T Wakefield 926 KAN - K Davies +140 RickJ[/QUOTE] Thanks Rick.
