Hey there guys,
Well in my first day back I did pretty good going 8-5 in MLB, maybe a little rusty as I'd like to do a little better, but I did go 10-3 ATS. I also went 4-2 in SEC Baseball, although in both of my losses my picks were in the lead late in the game. In a little update of my Stanley Cup Predictions, the Penguins and the Cinderella Canadiens are tied up at 2 games a piece, I had the Pens in 5; Boston just missed out on sweeping the Flyers last night as Philly won 5-4 in overtime, but the series heads back to Boston with the Bruins up 3-1, I had the Bruins in 7; the Sharks got destroyed in their attempt to sweep the Red Wings the other night but they series picks back up in San Jose tonight as the Sharks are a game away from winning the series, I had the Sharks in 7; and finally the Blackhawks are up 3-1 over the Canucks, I had Chicago winning in 7. So things are looking good in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for me, I was tied with several of ESPN's NHL Experts after the first round and while many of them picked the Flyers, and Red Wings I might be able to grab the lead after round 2. In the NBA Playoffs, I had Cleveland in 6, and if the rest of the series plays out like it did last night the Cavs will win in 5. They are up 2-1 right now. I had the Magic sweeping the Hawks and as of right now all signs point to that happening as Orlando is up 2-0, including a 43 point win in Game 1, and a come from behind win that started in the 3rd that that ended up being a double digit win again for the Magic. The Lakers are also up 2-0 as they head to Utah now and the Jazz need a win because, despite the close scores, they Lakers have looked in control. Now everyone had the Spurs taking out the Suns, I picked Phoenix. Phoenix is up 3-0. Oh yeah. Well hopefully I can keep up my winning ways.
