The sheep seem to say the WNBA western conference is as good as the NBA western conference. Sounds good to me.

Its super frustrating. I tend to just max pick until I get close to W10... then lose within a few picks of that.
I tend to go for the following three monthly goals
1) 70+ wins
2) A W10 or better
3) 60% or better overall

Going for a bit of a longshot, picking Sporting KC to lose by 1, draw, or win against Man City (who will not be playing their first team).

When it gets late in the month, I tend to slack until the next month starts. Especially in the summertime when it's seemingly all baseball. I don't follow baseball as closely as I used to, and the Astros certainly don't make the prospect any more appealing, lol. I have faith in the owner's long term plan though.

SPKC at WDL1 is not a bad pick since Man City is missing a lot of big names

SPKC putting in their entire second string (11 subs) at half was unexpected

Nah, I've tried to develop a system before for college football (my poison of preference) but it never got very far.
Nice of them to give us a free point to start the month.

SPARTAK MOSCOW
good choices are good
GO SPORTING KC
Also, I really hate picking baseball games. I feel like there are so many upsets in a baseball season that there's no such thing as a safe pick in the MLB.

Its habitually one of the hardest things to pick.
That said this month a whole lot as been straight forward so far even with -200 favorites or better are only 4-2 to start the month

W5 on Mariners. I'm going all the way this month. I can feel it. Papa needs a new radiator for his car after some clown got into an accident with me this afternoon and sped off.

I have a system for picking baseball games. I don't pick many of them, but last month I was something like 6-1 in picking baseball.
I keep forgetting to play.

Deviated from my system (namely, the "never pick a team more than 5 games below .500" part), prooooobably going to lose.

When I picked baseball (both SFTC and Sportsplays) I tend to go by starting pitcher comparison more than team comparison, and it worked pretty well for me.

Broke my PB with Arsenal beating Newcastle United this morning. Sitting on a W12. When you get to double digits... it's such a rush. I'm going for a couple of hockey picks this afternoon. Wish me luck!
