MLB Picks May

I can't complain too much about the start to the regular season in the baseball, with a nice healthy profit to end April.

As with last month, I will post all the May picks, whenever I have any, on this one thread to keep a record of the results and let us hope for more of the same from April.

It was a bad end to April, and a pretty shocking start to May, that led me to think I need to take a mini-break from the baseball and have a look at my methods of making picks. April as a whole was a successful month and I did wonder if I had perhaps taken my eye off the ball and perhaps started ignoring vital statistics that I had used to make the month so profitable. With that said, I took a week to analyse my picks and feel pretty good coming off that break.

A miserable May so far, although it is still very early in the month... To be honest, the picks have been poor since the last few days in April so hope today brings a turnaround.

May 19th
I took a few days off from the Major Leagues as I just felt the rub of the green was not going for me... The final straw was the FOUR errors that led to FIVE runs against the Detroit Tigers, and that was a sure sign I needed a break from the bad luck.


Hopefully I can end the month in strong fashion and bring the loss back down to a respectable level.


Chicago White Sox @ Chicago Cubs Preview (http://goonersguide.com/baseball-pick-14315-Chicago-White-Sox-at-Chicago-Cubs.htm)

Boston Red Sox @ Philadelphia Phillies Preview (http://goonersguide.com/baseball-pick-14316-Boston-Red-Sox-at-Philadelphia-Phillie.htm)

LA Angels @ San Diego Padres Preview (http://goonersguide.com/baseball-pick-14317-LA-Angels-at-San-Diego-Padres.htm)

May 20th
Just when you think it can't get any worse than a 4 error, 5 unearned run performance, the Philadelphia Phillies decided to out-hit the Red Sox, but leave 9 runners on base, 8 in scoring positions, ground into 3 rally killing double plays, and Joe Blanton gave up 4 Home Runs after allowing 2 in his first 8 starts... That is called pissing somebody off and getting absolutely no luck, urghhh.


I didn't have time to write full previews today as the late finish of the Lakers-Thunder game last night meant I was catching up on sleep, and the Major Leagues are starting early. Still, there is at least 3 hours till the first match starts and the picks can be found in the section below... Here's hoping for a change of fortunes.

May 23rd
'Miserable May' continues to taunt me... These four picks will make me decide if I am to take a break for the rest of the month or whether I am still looking at things in the correct manner, but just not getting the rub of the green.
