The Rockies came through yesterday, giving us a much-needed 2–0 weekend on the diamond. For better or worse, our method has us back on a big underdog tonight. Houston vs. Florida We also have some outstanding futures on the Coogs, but those are small. I think it’s 3 units to win 13.75 units. (Our tracking […]

Maybe the return of college basketball games will lead us to a profitable night tonight. First, though, today’s MLB futures. AL West Maybe there’s something where home-field advantage […]
