Tonight was an amazing one, friends! 🎉 Where do I start – we hit 4/4 Player Props (half of which kicked back plus money!), 'Pick of the Day' cashed, and our single picks hit 3/5! In short, we made a nice bucket of change this evening 💰 For those curious, here's what we had:

Player Props (4/4)

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: Sean Burke Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+100) ✅

-The Athletics v BAL Orioles: Tyler Soderstrom Over 1.5 Total Bases (+140) ✅

-The Athletics v BAL Orioles: Nick Kurtz Over 1.5 Total Bases (-115) ✅

-PHI Phillies v TEX Rangers: Jacob deGrom Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-120) ✅

Picks (3/5) 

 -The Athletics Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ✅

-BOS Red Sox v SD Padres Over 7.5 (-120) ✅

-MIA Marlins v ATL Braves Over 8.5 (-105) (GAME 2) ✅

-BOS Red Sox ML (+125) ❌

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox Over 8.5 (-115) ❌

---

I have to admit, I was really hoping the Red Sox would pull off the comeback – once we went into extra innings, I thought they had it in the bag! Unfortunately that Padres HR in the bottom of extras also tanked tonight's parlay. Thankfully, we came out of the day sooooo green regardless 😉👊🏽

Alright friends, that's all I've got for this evening. A big congrats on your bag of money, and as always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books!

Today's Picks

-The Athletics Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) | 0.25 Units

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox Over 8.5 (-115) | 0.25 Units

-BOS Red Sox v SD Padres Over 7.5 (-120) | 0.25 Units

-BOS Red Sox ML (+125) | 0.25 Units

-MIA Marlins v ATL Braves Over 8.5 (-105) (GAME 2) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?‍

‍

The Athletics v BAL Orioles: While The Athletics are rolling with a bullpen game this evening, I do think it’s their offense that will bag the most runs. 4 of Baltimore pitcher Brandon Young’s (5.88 ERA) last 5 starts have resulted in their opponents putting at least 5 runs on the board. To boot, Young has allowed a staggering 29 hits over his last 5 games, and I fully expect the visiting squad to take advantage. My money’s on the As to bag at least 5 runs today.

‍

CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: 4 of Joey Cantillo's (4.37 ERA) last 5 starts have seen at least 9 runs, and I have a sneaking suspicion the White Sox will get a hot start on him here. While a Chicago win against the Guardians would be a bit of an anomoly (Cleveland has won their last 4 straight encounters...) the White Sox are much better at bagging runs at home than they are on the road. I say they contribute enough to push today's total Over 8.5.

‍

BOS Red Sox v SD Padres: The Red Sox are on fire right now, friends – and as much as I like each of today's pitchers, I think both squads will find a way to put at least 4 runs on the board. In addition, I have no desire to bet against Boston at the moment – especially since Padres starter Michael King hasn't pitched in 2 months. For these reasons, I've gotta take the Over to hit here and the Red Sox to win for plus money.

‍

MIA Marlins v ATL Braves (GAME 2): 4 of Cardinals starter Erick Fedde's last 5 starts have seen the Over cash in spades. On the other side, Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara (6.44 ERA) has a staggering 8.86 ERA on the road. The tail end of this double header should be a high scoring affair, betting fam – I'm on the Over to hit.

‍

Why These Pre-Season Picks?

There isn’t a single pre-season game that hasn’t cashed the Over so far, friends. If you played the Over on every single game on the board today, you’d probably fare pretty well. Having said that, these are the total plays I like the most.

‍

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: Sean Burke Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+100) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why This Pick?

White Sox starter Sean Burke (4.23 ERA) has managed to bag at least 5 strikeouts in 4 of his last 5 outings. Burke is also one of the few pitchers who’s managed to put a whopping 8 strikeouts on the board against the Chicago Cubs (back on July 27). To be frank, the Guardians should be a walk in the park in comparison. I say he puts at least 5Ks on the board this evening.

I'd say tonight's "nightcap" is necessary, friends. Baseball was brutal – so much so that I'm thrilled that I sent NFL Pre-Season picks out this afternoon 😂 "Belle's NFL Pre-Season Potpourri 💐" did far better than today's MLB picks! For those that tailed, a big congrats to you.

I'm also really glad that I put the pre-season picks out to my free-tier friends as well 😊 – certainly softened the blow of today's 'Pick of the Day' loss. 👊🏽

Speaking of 'Pick of the Day' – I've fully updated July 2025's Pick of the Day spreadsheet results. Comically, as rough of a run as POTD seemed to have there...it still came out of last month basically even 🤣 It really did feel worse than it actually was; overall, Pick of the Day is still "green" for the year to date.

For those asking, yes – I'll be sending out another round of NFL Pre-Season picks for Saturday's games. Football is on all day 🔥🤩🏈

Lastly, while we're on the topic of football, 🏈🛎️ THERE ARE 2 SPOTS LEFT in my annual "Belles of the Ball" Fantasy Football League! If you'd like to join us, simply sign up here.

‍

The buy-in is $50, and the grand prize is a beautiful $600USD bag (of cash!) 😉💰 Once you've signed up, our beloved commissioner will send you a link to our league on the "Sleeper" app!

Alright friends, I think that's all I've got for this evening. Let's walk off the tough MLB day – we'll get the books back tomorrow.

Cheers – and as always, I'll see you all bright and early!

Happy Friday, friends! The NFL Pre-Season is upon us – and while I don't recommend placing large wagers on pre-season games, a number of you have asked for some "degen pre-season" picks 🤪 I've been dropping my pre-season picks in Discord, but by popular demand have decided to send them out in post as well (for those on my Free tier, too!) So without further ado, here's what I've got for tonight:

‍

-DET Lions v ATL Falcons Over 32.5 (-110)

-CLE Browns v CAR Panthers Over 33.5 (-110)

-WAS Commanders v NE Patriots Over 37.0 (-110)
