someone told me like a week ago that they missed 19 picks in a row last year
while i believe that to be an exaggeration, i would like to fade these picks.  i don't want to do it blindly and was wondering if this had ever come up on the forums before.

today's were TB (-160) SF (-145) twice and SD (+110)
TB lost 5-4 to TEX (+150)
SF down 4-0 top of 6th to MIA (+135)
SD down 8-0 top of 6th to ARI (-120)

TB lost 5-4 to TEX (+150)
SF lost 7-2 to MIA (+135)
SD lost 11-0 to ARI (-120)
also:
MIN lost 4-3 to CHI (NHL)
the lone free-pick win would have been the over in the MTL/TBL game... but that's cancelled out by another expert picking the under, so 0-4 on the day

expert's picks:
braves +185
-lost (nats actually covered the RL @ even money - i didn't think about that until i got to the casino)
mets -130
-lost
cle@chi OVER 194.5 (-108)*
-technically a winner, but all the b&m books had the total between 195 and 196, so i'll count it as a win for them and a push for fade
orioles +108
-lost
bos@tor OVER 9
-lost
ana@cal UNDER 5.5 (-135)
-lost
kc@det UNDER 7.5
-lost, over by 4th inning

Did you start this tread in the MLB section? 

Did covers move it to website promotions? 

If they did, it's a bit ironic.

(not going to count either of these)
mlb min +125
