Plunder's Picks

Time for the most exciting moment in sports … a winner take all game 7! I’ll spare you the whole “anything is possible” conversation because you already know that, and I’ll just dive into the plays … Keeping in mind that almost all pitching matchups will be dictated by the situation, we are simply going to target some of the hottest bats of the Series. For the Dodgers, the of course will start with Shohei Ohtani, who I certainly expect to rise to the moment (unless he gets w

Well that escalated quickly! Just three days ago we were all set to start throwing some dirt on the Blue Jays after their 18 inning loss and now here we are with champagne on ice for the Jays in game 6. What a series! It’s do or die time for the Dodgers and DIE is exactly what their bats have been doing for most of this series, so it’s hard to make many confident selections. Mookie Betts has a great BvP numbers against Gausman, but he has totally sucked this entire series.

Huge rebound day yesterday for the Jays and we got ourselves a series that’s all square at two games apiece. Game one starters Blake Snell and Trey Yesavage return for this one, and while that result was a blowout win for the Jays, it was more to do with the Dodger bullpen than it was Snell. With that in mind, I’m diving in for F5 u4.5 total runs  as a top play of the day. I’m not opposed to taking u4 as a less juicy option as well since it will simply void if the total ends

What a crazy marathon game last night/this morning and to be quite frank … what a crushing loss for the Blue Jays. They lose in 18, lose one of their best players, exhaust their bullpen, and now they gotta face Ohtani who looks like a superhero playing with mere mortals. No pressure! Vlad Guerrero  is the only Jays bat that shows up on the Pitch Mix with .323/.394/.355 for his AVG/wOBA/ISO, but I’m not in love with the fact that he also has to face the aforementioned superhe

Well that escalated quickly! The Blue Jays wanted to go ahead and let everyone know that this isn’t going to be a cakewalk for the Dodgers, and I absolutely love that. Not that I have a rooting interest in either team, I just wanna see an action-packed series that hopefully goes seven games. You gotta figure the Dodger are gonna come out hard tonight in an effort to even up the series and curb any momentum the Jays may have (not rocket science here). On the flip side, the Jay

Happy Friday Everyone! The World Series is ready to kick off tonight, so we will dive in to plays/matchups to consider. Terry Rozier hasn’t returned any of my calls, so I don’t have insider insights, just the same ol’ Plunder logic that got us through a very successful 2025. Looking back on the season I can certainly say it was a GRIND . Baseball as a whole is a grind and I always say from a gambling perspective that it is a straight up WAR  of trusting the process and ridin

Who ready for some game seven insanity? We are! Anything is possible and pretty much every pitching scenario is on the table, so we will take Pitch Mix and BvP data with a grain of salt, but can still isolate some top plays. Cal Raleigh  and Josh Naylor  have pretty much been carrying the Mariners offense this postseason, so that’s where I’d be putting my focus. Worth noting that Raleigh is 2-11 off Bieber in his career and he was 0-4 last night. That said, you know he’s g

The Mariners turn to Logan Gilbert to close the door on the ALCS. Gilbert has been solid on the season, but the Blue Jays lineup does actually have a decent history against him. Vlad, Springer and Kirk are all batting over .300 against him in their careers. I’d probably rank Vlad Guerrero  as the top bat for the Jays. His Pitch Mix numbers aren’t great, but he’s 6-17 off Gilbert (.353 avg) with two of those hits HRs and two doubles. He also only has a 10% K rate against him s

Phillies and Cubs with their backs to the wall … here we GO!!!!

Huge day of baseball on tap today … so let’s sit back, relax and CASH!!!

The Yankees are on the ropes and I expect a wild one in the Bronx. Plus there’s like another game being played too or something.

It’s the NL’s day to give us “the D” … here we go!

Two games to look at today … so let’s jump right in!

It’s time for “the D” … meaning ALDS and NLDS of course. Get your minds out of the gutter!

Three game threes on tap for today and I have no doubt all three will be action packed with 725 pitching changes and pinch hitters, so we will tread lightly and enjoy a great day of baseball.

Decent start on day one … let’s keep it going!

Well well well … here we are at CRUNCH TIME! It’s (almost) October and time to dive into some playoff baseball. I’m going to approach this a little differently and give you my thoughts/plays that stick out for each game to help you decide on plays.

Two days to go as the MLB playoff races close out with a wild ride. Lots of strong plays to explore today.

Final weekend … let’s finish with a legendary one! Of course, we will still have plays during the postseason, but the slates will...
