It’s all in a days work folks.
We have a top bet that we are looking to cash again tonight. Last nights money line play on the Giants to win hit, delivering a nice 80% profit.
We’ll stay in the MLB tonight with another great opportunity.
But first, a little NFL Fantasy Football action.
I have three drafts over the weekend, so it’s safe to say we are officially entering a Fantasy Football Draft weekend and I wanted to cover a few things that stood out.
Don’t miss a new offer we’ve created. It’s called the $5 Get Up package. $5 you get all my picks for a single day. You can’t beat that price anywhere.

Officially Fantasy Football Draft Weekend
I drafted in Yahoo’s paid leagues, 10 team draft.
These are easy to pickup for anyone short of a few friends to pull together a decent league.
I have those too, but the examples today are discussing the Yahoo basic draft and scoring.
First, Najee Harris, an RB in Pittsburgh, went in the first round. Sixth overall.
I had my eye on him, but was really hoping he would be a third round sleeper. Turns out no one is sleeping on this guy. If he falls to the second, jump on him.
Your first three, four or even five picks are going to be pretty automatic. Cook, Henry, Elliot, Kamara and McCaffrey.
With the 7th pick, I rode Barkley for another year. He helped win a championship already, so I figured it was worth a shot.
Someone took Kelce, a TE, in the second. I hate seeing it. He was elite and worth the spot last year, but there’s no telling if he can maintain it for another year in a row. I save TE’s, QBs, Kickers, and Defense till the later rounds.
Focus on your WRs and RBs early on.
With that said, after picking up Diggs in the second, no one had taken a QB yet.
Mahomes was there with the 27th overall pick. Someone even drafted Kittle, another TE, ahead of him.
So I don’t normally take a QB this early. I picked up Jameis Winston, who is one of my top QBs on the board this year, in Round 8 for a reach. It was too early, but I wanted to solidify my QB spot for the year.
That’s the thing though.
As I do draft after draft, my teams end up looking totally different. Maybe I like the same guys once we get deep into the draft, but for the first 10 rounds, it’s all about opportunity.
Take what your opponents give you. Picking up Mahomes, who could easily be the top QB in the league this year in round 3 was a no brainer.
I probably won’t pick him up in any other league, stick to the Winstons of the group.
But to build a championship team, it’s about finding those that fall to you, even if you weren’t looking for them.
“Pick of the Day” MLB: Chicago Cubs vs Chicago White Sox
It’s a battle in Chicago people, the lower ranked Cubs are looking to steal a win on the road as they start a three game battle against fellow Chicago team the White Sox.
The Sox are a top team this year, with 74 wins and 55 losses. It’s almost exactly opposite of the Cubs.
In their first three games, it has been high scoring, one going to 12 runs and another to 14 runs.
The middle one was held to four.
And with both teams coming off games of 23 runs and 17 runs, you’d think money would be on more scoring.
But the under is getting the majority of bets tonight, and I like it.
Fanduel is paying out -115 for picking the under on 9.5 runs tonight. That means a $100 bet will have the chance to payout $86 or a 86% profit. If you are looking for an opportunity to win $100, you’ll need to bet $115 on this game.
For us to win, we need the total combined score to add up to nine runs or less. If it adds up to 10 runs or more, we will lose the bet.
That’s all for today.
