2017 Week 2 picks
Week 2 Picks

The dreaded one point miss on the cover just sunk my record for Week 1. My Week 1 record was 6-9 thanks to a backdoor cover by the Los Angeles Charges (that will never not be weird). Hopefully, Week 2 will be better than Week 1 because Week 1 is the hardest week to pick games because you are basically just guessing of past performances. So, if you are betting with my picks, here are what you have this week.

The Yankees didn't "Work in the Rain" on Seinfeld Night

  When it rains it pours! The rain soaked away 38 minutes in the Bronx tonight and continued in the 9 th and 10 th inning as the Boston Red Sox storm back at the last possible second to steal the opener of a weekend set against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Masataka Yoshida hit the game tying blast into the right field seats in the 9 th and Ceddanne Rafaela hit the eventual game winning home run into monument park in right center field in the 10 th . This loss comes at the worst possible time given the fact that Nestor Cortes was sharp throwing six innings and only surrounding a solo shot by Romy Gonzalez in the 5 th inning. This coming off the heels of poor starts from every starting pitcher over the weekend. Luke Weaver danced out of trouble to set the Yankee bats up for some insurance in the bottom of the 8 th they ultimately needed but couldn’t secure. With this loss, the Bombers have now dropped four in a row, and five consecutive home games, falling to 54-36, a...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Juan Soto Returns And Gerrit Cole gets closer to Cy Young Caliber

  Juan Soto and the New York Yankees responded yesterday afternoon in Toronto with an 8-1 drubbing against the last place Toronto Blue Jays. After being inserted into the lineup at the very last minute, Juan Soto got the Bomber bats going with a single in his first at-bat, followed up by Aaron Judge’s 31 st home run of the season off the batter’s eye in center field. Soto returned after missing just his 5 th game all season and was his usual MVP candidate self. “[My hand] was a little swollen, but I think it was in a spot that I could help my team. I was feeling good warming up, and I know I had a pretty good chance to win a ball game today, so I went for it.” Soto had that first inning single, and two walks in his unexpected return. Even though the dynamic duo got the scoring started, they weren’t the stars of the afternoon. That came from two bench players that because of the recent injury troubles have gotten the chance to play. The first, in his best game in his young career ...
