It's Not Rocket Surgery

Sometimes these plays involve a lot of research and analysis, and then sometimes the Yankees face a terrible pitcher at Coors and you just go with that.

Vlad the Impaler

Yeah … this Vlad pictured was a very bad dude, so we’re gonna root for “New Vlad” instead and hope our Blue Jay friend starts our Saturday off with a bang.

Let's Have a Long Dong Weekend!

Quick update for 5/22 … No weather issues today for any of our plays. We can go ahead and add Drake Baldwin back in after last night’s rainout. Also, scene...

Keeping a fairly tight list today … it’s a short slate on a getaway Thursday, but the weather is also cold and gross in several games.

Quick Plunder Update: I Messed Up

Quick update for 5/21 … Thank you to premium member Sully for pointing out that I screwed up the Judge/Goldschmidt play for today and mistakenly ran those...

What Universe Is This?

WTF is going on here? What universe are we in? Is this the Matrix? Is this real life?

The Gang's All Here

Some days we have picks where its one player from this game, one player from that game, etc. etc. Then there’s days like today where it’s like “Hey 27 guys on this one team are all in play.” So we either all in or all out … and you know how we roll … ALL IN!!!!

No Case of the Mondays Here!

We in the groove right now. Obviously it’s a long season and we’ve also been in the “not groove” in the recent past, so we are always grateful for what we have.

Give Us Some Drake's Cakes

What a week … what a week! Here’s to closing it out strong with a Sunday Funday!

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?

Seemed like a fitting reference as we target two players in our top picks that have taken great joy in punishing us this season.

Don't Sheets Your Pants

This week has been better than whatever the F that debacle was to start the month. Let’s keep it going!!

Size Matters (That's What She Said)

Quick Plunder Update: Adds/Drops

$ · May 13, 2025

Quick update for 5/13 … Tyler Holton is pitching for Detroit, so I’m pulling off Devers. Also … lukewarm on Chourio as I dive deeper so I’d consider him a...

Give 'Em the Glasscock

I figured it would be fun to share a little baseball history with some of the most unique/funny names and nicknames of the Olde Timey baseball days. Today … “Pebbly Jack” Glasscock!

Quick Plunder Update: Some adds/drops

Quick update for 5/12 … No lines available for Seager or Dominguez so far today so things are trending toward them not playing. My crack staff has two...

Can Manny Be the Man?

New day. New week. And a new opportunity to CASH! That’s the beauty of sports betting … every single day feels like that day you’re gonna win a billion dollars. So let’s get us a billy today!

Give Momma Some Sal(ami) Action

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope everybody has a great one and we’re enjoying many dongs being hit on Mom’s special day (I am not a mature human).

Happy Saturday everyone! Any day with Freddie Freeman on the list is a good one around here. Let’s get right to it!

RESEND: OK May, You Can Cut It Out Now

Lots of really solid plays on tap for today, so let’s have ourselves a DAY!!!!

OK May, You Can Cut It Out Now

Lots of really solid plays on tap for today, so let’s have ourselves a DAY!!!!

Who's the Better Buxton?

Now Byron Buxton may be better at Buxton, but from a bad guy standpoint he ain’t got nothing on the great Francis Buxton from “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.”

Shohei Us the Way

Anytime we can get behind the GOAT feels like a great start to the day … let’s get ourselves some GREEN!

I Wish I Knew How to Quit You, Freddie Freeman

Another day, another Freddie Freeman selection … the bromance continues!

Cinco de No Stinko

All we can do is move onward and upward … so let’s do exactly that!

Insert Star Wars Pun Here

It’s May 4th, so I’m required by law to insert some kind of Star Wars reference into this email.

Screw the Kentucky Derby ... Let's Have a Home Run Derby!

The day when people who have NO clue about horse racing sit and act like they’re experts as they try to pick the winner.

Cruzin' On Over

I feel like it’s a perfect time to keep the momentum going and crush dem books. LFG!

CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!

Marcel Ozuna Hates Me

In the world of sports betting, sometimes it just feels like certain guys hate your stupid face.

Quick Plunder Update: I Made a Typo

$ · April 28, 2025

Quick update for 4/28 … I made a typo in my premium email. The first player after the paywall line should read FREDDIE FREEMAN vs. Edward Cabrera. All the...

Suck it Garfield, You're Gonna LOVE This Monday

Ahhh Garfield … I thought he was hilarious when I was a kid. Then I turned 9 and realized he was just a prick cat that didn’t even deserve the life he had.

Quick Plunder Update: Yankee Game(s)

Quick update for 4/27 … Doubleheader today now in the Bronx. Winds are blowing HARD out to right field so just about anybody could go yard. Rice was...

Put On Your Sunday Best

Commentary will be kinda short, but just trust me that all these plays are awesome and stuff.

In a Van Down By the River

I always figure betting on baseball is gonna either send me to a penthouse apartment filled with sexy hoochie mommas, or living out of a van down by the river like motivational speaker Matt Foley. No van yet so … so far so good!

Giving you the HOOAH!

I gotta write like 175 on these emails this season, so we’re always gonna be looking for goofy headlines and ways to kick it off. Today is Al Pacino’s birthday.

The Parade of Weirdoes

Oddball day of picks today. Short slate of games and a few of them have very solid pitchers going, so just a smattering of picks today. It’s also a getaway day so lineups could be funky as well.

The Six Million Dollar Day

OK … I’m not sure where the hell I’m even going with this, other than the fact that we need to just go out and win $6 million today. You in? I AM!!!

DIY Dinger Tuesday

Big ol’ list today with the freebies getting 4 picks and another 11(!) for the premium subscribers.

Patriots Day in Plunderville

It’s the holiday that isn’t actually a holiday except in Boston and Maine, but if you’re a Massachusetts native like me you know it’s all about 11am baseball and lunatics running 26 miles outside the stadium.

So Far, So Good

Happy Easter! Figured today is as good a day as any to look at where we are so far.

Painting the Chalk

A fairly chalky day here for the Pitch Mix Plays, but we just go by what the numbers tell us.

Friday Night Lights

Clear eyes, full hearts … Can’t lose!

Quick update for 4/17 … Apologies for the multiple emails, but I wanted to pass along that I’m adding Bryce Harper to my plays tooday as well. Same logic as...

Put Yo' Hands In the Air

It’s “National High Five Day” … whatever the heck that means. We in Plunderville have decided we’re gonna be handing out many high fives while all of our players go yard today.

We Got That Fire!

What a week … and it’s only Wednesday! Pitch Mix Plays have been absolutely crushing it the past few days and I’m so thrilled to see this paying off (and paying off for YOU in particular).

The Wood is Good

Today features a lot of “pretty good” plays in the B+/B range but not a ton that on the “OH MY GOD!!!” standout level.

It's Raining Dongs

The internet says today is “National Reach as High as You Can Day,” so we’re gonna go ahead and take that as a sign for a home run parade of our Pitch Mix Picks.
