Good lord May has been less than ideal so far. We’ll get a little breakthru every now and then, but consistent sustained days of green have been eluding us. But we shall stay the course and steer this dang pirate ship to the treasure. Lots of really solid plays on tap for today, so let’s have ourselves a DAY!!!!

NOTE: Several unconfirmed starters as a write this, so make sure to check the probables before making any wagers.

Let’s jump into the plays for Friday, May 9th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.

✅ TOP PICKS ✅

• Kyle Schwarber (PHI) vs. Gavin Williams [GRADE: A]

Schwarbs is also batting .400 this week so that’s an added bonus, and Williams is worse against lefties for an even more added bonuserer type thingie.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3u-0.5u for boosts and such)

Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value. Also … feel free to visit GAMBLING SCHOOL 101 for a breakdown of all markets, bankroll, risk management and more

• Aaron Judge (NYY) vs. Oswaldo Bido [GRADE: A]

I’m not exactly re-inventing the wheel here for a guy who can hit pretty much anybody and gets to face a bad pitcher in an offense-heavy ballpark.

TARGET MARKETS: TB (1u), HR (0.3u-0.5u), hit parlays, H+R+R parlays
