One of those "Meh" kinda days, yesterday, Folks... We gave a little bit back, but nothin to panic over!! We split our plays, in both, the Association & on the ice. However, we did manage to hit our "multi-unit" play in Hoops, and found a small profit in the NBA & NHL!! Once again though, Baseball ATE MY LUNCH, and it continues to be PEAKS & VALLEYS on the Diamond!! We were DOWN less than a Unit for the night & yada yada yada!! Not much to say beyond that My Friends, because y'all already know how I feel about giving ANYTHING back to those DIRTY OL' BOOKS.... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!! We're back at it today & all we can do is BE BETTER CRICKETT!!!! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck & Good Gamblin!!!!

Missing game pitcher TBD. Will run again later.
Below is a summary of each matchup, including Final Scores, the favored pitcher, and key factors influencing the outcome, followed by the top three matchups.
Matchup Summaries
1. Arizona Diamondbacks vs. St. Louis Cardinals (Kelly vs. Liberatore)
• Scores: Kelly (0.707) vs. Liberatore (0.639)
• Favored: Merrill Kelly
• Key Factors: Kelly’s superior K/BB (3.80 home, 3.50 road) and consistency edge out Liberatore’s lower ERA (2.92 vs. 3.26).
