The 2012 MLB season is upon us and I am fully ready for another great year with my picks. If you are new to this site, everyday I will be posting a daily MLB pick or two. I also release bigger "5 Star" picks that are sent to members only. Enter your email above to get full details on how to become a member.

A historic afternoon with the Orioles leading off with 3 straight “back to back to back” home runs had us in a rough spot early and the Rangers never could catch the Orioles losing 6-5. Friday I’m coming right back with a 5 STAR pick, as we look to move to 3-1 on the year [...]
Yesterday we had one of our plays postponed due to rain, and our big underdog play on the Astros came close but lost in extra innings. If we continue to find good value on teams like that we will be just fine over the course of the year. It would have been nice to hit [...]
No run support again last night for Dempster who went 7 innings giving up just 1 earned run. The Cubs lost 3-1 giving up 2 late runs in the 8th. I’ve got two plays going today which includes a road favorite and a home underdog… Texas Rangers @ Baltimore Orioles – RANGERS TO WIN (-121) [...]
My name is Kevin and I run this MLBPredictions.org site solely. This site gives out daily MLB picks and predictions that are based around betting the MLB games. My goal is to profit as much as I can over the course of the season.
My picks and predictions include a lot of money line predictions (straight up winners), but will also include over/under or game total picks and run line predictions.
Unlike most handicappers, I keep my record on the homepage for everyone to view, as I am very confident in my MLB handicapping.
You might notice a near .500 record (76-70 for example), but please realize I include a lot of underdog picks. When picking underdogs I could have a sub .500 record and still be profiting on the season – which is why I keep track of units won/loss.
On “plus money” predictions I will be risking x units and on predictions with “chalk” I will be betting to win x units. (Note: “x” depends on the unit rating of the bet)
Each free MLB pick I release here will be rated 2 units (*unless otherwise noted*). 1 unit = 1% of my bankroll, therefore each bet will be betting to win 2% or risking 2% of my bankroll depending what type of play it is.
As an example: If the odds on a pick were -130 we would risk 2.60 units to win 2 units. If the odds on a pick were +110 we would risk 2 units to win 2.20 units.
My “5 Star” picks (which are sent through email only to those who enter their name and email in the form above) are rated 5 units. 5 units = 5% of my bankroll. As an example if the odds on the pick were -120 we would be risking 6 units to win 5 units. If the odds were +105 we would be risking 5 units to win 5.25 units.
Pretty standard stuff for experienced bettors, but if you don’t understand anything feel free to shoot me an email.
Be Careful: When some MLB handicappers display a really good record it might be because they are laying a lot of -200 or -300 type bets. With those odds you can have a good record but still be losing money. I could do this to display a good record, but I keep my focus on winning money with my MLB predictions.
I am a very stand up guy, and you can find out more on my About Me page. Also don't be afraid to email me (contact info at bottom of page) for anything MLB or betting related. Cheers.
