Going for Broke
Daily Broke: Mets (+120) at Dodgers
June 28th, 2012
Unlike my Dodgers, I can’t lose this week, as I’m 3-for-3 after Wednesday’s ridiculously easy winner on the Angels (13-1 at Baltimore). Read more »
Daily Broke: Angels (-125) at Orioles
June 27th, 2012
Hard not to like the Angels in this spot. They’ve won seven of their last nine games overall, they’ve won 12 of 13 on the road, they’re hitting the hell out of the ball and they have ace Jared Weaver on the mound. Read more »
Daily Broke: Dodgers-Giants UNDER 6 runs
June 26th, 2012
That was some roller-coaster ride last night: The Cardinals trailed 6-2 in Miami going to the top of the ninth, pushed across four runs to send the game to extra innings, scored twice in the top of the 10th, then allowed one in the bottom of the frame before holding on for an 8-7 win. Read more »
Daily Broke: Cardinals -115 at Marlins
June 25th, 2012
The good news for the Marlins? They blanked the Blue Jays 9-0 on Sunday. With that, they snapped a six-game losing skid and scored more than five runs for the first time since May 25—a stretch of 26 games. Read more »

Tough to say who’s had a worse week: The Oklahoma City Thunder, the producers of Rock of Ages or me. Read more »
Daily Broke: Cubs +160 at White Sox
June 20th, 2012
A couple of weeks ago, I rolled the dice with White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd against the Astros, explaining away his struggles as nothing more than a little slump, certain he’d right himself against hapless Houston. Read more »
Daily Broke: Thunder +3 1/2 at Heat
June 19th, 2012
So far, I’m batting .500 in the NBA Finals, scoring a winner with the Thunder in Game 1 and losing with the Thunder in Game 2. Read more »
Daily Broke: Angels (PK) vs. Giants
June 18th, 2012
Far be it from me to nitpick a perfect game, especially one that includes 14 strikeouts, but Matt Cain’s perfecto last week for the Giants did occur in a night game at AT&T Park in San Francisco (you won’t find better pitcher-friendly conditions than that). Read more »
Daily Broke: Thunder -5 1/2 vs. Heat
June 14th, 2012
The reasons to support the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals: They had a seven-point halftime lead in Game 1; they haven’t lost consecutive games by more than five points in these playoffs; and they have the old betting “zig-zag” theory working in their favor. Read more »
