Pat Hetic
It’s time for our longest running segment here on miraclecovers. Pat gets wasted and chases dead money with horrific 2nd half bets on NFL Sunday? No silly, it’s time for baseball over/unders. I only had about 3 months to get my act together on these and I am late and under-prepared. But what are you going to do? As Lou mentioned, he and I did well on these last year. I have zero illusions I will have similar success this year, but all I need to do is get one point more than Loubacca. The stakes, as always, a pub crawl.
10) Tampa Bay Rays Under 79.5
9) Los Angeles Angels Under 88.5
8) New York Mets Over 81.5
7) Detroit Tigers Over 84.5
6) Milwaukee Brewers Under 79.5
5) Cincinnati Reds Under 78.5
4) Oakland A’s Over 81.5
3) Pittsburgh Pirates Over 83.5
2) San Francisco Giants Under 84.5
1) Minnesota Twins Over 70.5
***UPDATE***
Literally just saw Lou’s picks. Tampa Bay will be slightly crucial on this one.
2015 MLB Season Win Picks
Happy Opening Day. Here are my picks for 2015. Last season Pat and I did extremely well, with Pat winning because I couldn’t successfully order my plays. I missed on 10 and 9 and hit on 8-1. Since we do confidence scoring, this is a bad thing. Regardless here is the list, of which I am very confident about my 10 point play, and much less so about 9-1. I also have significant action on Tampa Bay to win the AL East at +740.
10 Tampa OVER 79.5
9 Cincinnati UNDER 78.5
8 Cleveland OVER 82.5
7 Colorado OVER 71.5
6 Baltimore UNDER 82.5
5 Texas UNDER 76
4 Oakland OVER 81.5
3 San Francisco UNDER 84.5
2 Houston OVER 75.5
1 San Diego UNDER 84.5
April 4
A hockey play as we get ready to end the regular season: Red Wings +135 @ Minnesota
March 30
Still silent here on the hockey front as the regular season creeps to an end. A lot of our models break down toward the end of the season with a larger gap in between teams contending versus not that we haven’t been able to model effectively. Working on baseball here the past few days and into this week.
Will post any plays that may come up. Oilers are a lean at +175 tonight.
Over? Under?? I hardly know her!!

NCAA:
North Carolina +6
NHL:
VAN v COL UNDER 5 (+125)
PARLAY:
UNC ML +240 and VAN v COL UNDER 5 +650
Good luck in all of your NCAA pools tonight; since most picked UK (I did), it really comes down to getting at least 3 out of 4 of your Final Four right, and the title game right. And if UK loses, then if your team wins you probably cash at some level.
March 26
One of our subtle enjoyments here at miracle Covers is betting on failure, and we’re happily getting the opportunity to be involved in some crappy NHL games tonight. In tankapolooza, we have Arizona visiting Buffalo and we are taking UNDER 5 +105 and in another relatively crap game, Colorado @ Vancouver UNDER 5 +120, both for 1/2u. Good luck to all tonight.
March 25
No plays yesterday and nothing again today as we wind down the season. Lots of games that would be plays are excluded here in March as non-playoff contending underdog teams are comparatively weaker in a lot of matchups this time of year. We are trying to pick our spots but it’s been sparse the past few weeks. Or coinflip on Colorado was a loser on Monday 3-2.
Hopefully some action tomorrow.
March 23
Back with some hockey plays tonight. Thanks to Sean for running things with a correct sport the past few days. We have a weighted coinflip in Calgary as Colorado visits getting +120. I have this as a 50:50 game so feel free to scale your own wager accordingly. Devils and Hurricanes are options for sadists, of which I am not.
NCAA Sunday
Went 1-6 yesterday ugh….but we did hit 2 on the UFC bets, which salvaged the day.
Here’s what I like:
UVA -4.5 (-105)
KU vs WSU Over 135
Dayton +165
