Crick's Picks: MLB - 6/24/25
We were able to GRIND A LITTLE BIT BACK Yesterday Folks... We only had Major League Baseball to invest our good, hard-earned American Dollars in, but we found ourselves IN THE GREEN when the smoke cleared!! Not a whole lot to say, beyond that, though... As I said yesterday... We're in the "Dog Days" of the Sports Calendar, and our MAIN GOAL during this time is to SCRAPE BACK a few units before Football Season gets kicked off!! It's gonna feel like "Watching Paint Dry" some days, and that's just the reality of the situation My Friends!! However, there's still PLENTY OF VALUE hiding out there, IN THE WEEDS, and we're gonna do our best to find some of it!! Once Again.... CAN'T WIN IF YA DON'T PLAY!!!! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck & Good Gamblin!!!!
Side Note: I completely forgot to calculate my NBA Finals Futures', into my final NBA Numbers, yesterday.. Those have now been updated & are reflected in the "NBA Year To Date" section of the Results. I apologize for "Dropping the Ball" on that yesterday!!
TUNE IN for "Crick's Corner" at 3:00 PM EST (Monday - Friday) over on the "Sportspicks" Channel on Rumble!! Hope To See Y'all There!!!!
