Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 4/9

Written April 9, 2009 by Jack Jones

Special 2-for-1 Offer for Thursday! The number of people taking advantage of this offer has surprised me, so I’ll keep it open another day. Today though I’ll make it this year’s MLB leader in Steve Merril, who is off to a 7-0 start on the basepads and has three winners going for Thursday. Jimmy Boyd is also dominating all sports as a $100 per game bettor would be up almost $6,500 already this year! If you want to buy a subscription of either to try them out, I’ll give you the same subscription for my service as well. You have to email me your username, plus that you are taking me up on my offer to get this deal. There is no automation behind this.

We took a little step back yesterday as the Marlins cashed in early, but then we went down in flames on the late games. The Twins run line was the most frustrating as they won by a single run. Time to bounce back on Thursday with our 3-for-1 package that includes two early winners and the late 20* BEST BET. Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a look at some of the baseball picks & NBA picks being released by our other top handicappers.

Free Premium Picks: Comment on my free pick article for today over at Betfirms.com. Tell me why you agree or disagree with today’s free pick and get today’s MLB 15* play! I send the free premium picks out in one batch today around 5 PM EST, so if you post after they’ve been sent you’ll get tomorrow’s play.

Free Picks for Thursday

So I know I’ve had this disclaimer about the free picks being the weakest plays and that I don’t play them, but I really put 1% of my bankroll on these games in comparison to 3-4% on the regular and BEST BETS. I just don’t want people getting ridiculous on the free picks when they aren’t intended to be the highest percentage of winners that I offer.

Texas Rangers -108 over Cleveland Indians at 5 Dimes

I’ll lay the small number on Texas today. Brandon McCarthy has pitched well against the Indians in the past, going 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Carl Pavano is a pitcher who you can not trust and he hasn’t been great this spring either, giving up 17 runs in 28.2 innings of work. Texas has been hot with the bats, and I see that trend lasting for awhile.

Free Pick Records:

CBB: 51-36
NBA: 26-32
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
MLB: 3-0 (+300)

I also post my free picks on Twitter so if you follow me there it may be easier to get the picks if you are away from your computer and stop by every day for more free NBA picks from top handicappers.

I’m going to look into your special.

Not going with this game, but there are other early games I’m getting on. The Cardinals look good today. Got on them early and now it is up to -200.

**UPADATE**

Sorry guys, tonight’s free 15* MLB pick was going to be on the Angels/A’s game, but the game has been canceled due to the death of Angels’ pitcher Nick Adenhart. I will make sure to get everyone who commented today a play tomorrow, but please feel free to comment on tomorrow’s free pick as well. Take care. – Jack
