What were some of the specific games Zach referenced from the previous day’s bets?

Zach referenced several games, including the Brewers money line, the Astros money line (which he believed could have been won if certain plays had gone differently), the Padres first five innings bet, the Royals money line, and the over 6.5 for the Kansas City and Baltimore game.

What are Zach's betting picks for the current day?

He concludes by mentioning that overall for the year, they are up by over 36 units. Zach also promotes a members-only best bet and encourages viewers to subscribe for daily content.

🎯 Today's MLB Picks and Strategy

Zach dives into today's MLB picks, starting with the Royals money line at +136 against the Orioles. He discusses how the Orioles have been struggling for two months and highlights Royals pitcher Lugo as a key advantage. Although the Orioles have more talent, Zach believes the Royals' lineup has been performing better recently, making them the smarter pick for today.

⚾ New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers Over 7.5 Pick

Zach moves on to his second pick: over 7.5 runs in the Mets vs. Brewers game. He critiques the Brewers’ choice of starting pitcher, Frankie Montas, calling him a poor option. He acknowledges both lineups' strong hitting potential but points out the Mets’ unreliable bullpen. Given the weaknesses in pitching and strong offenses, Zach confidently bets on the over.

💪 Padres Money Line Over Braves

The final pick is the Padres money line against the Braves. Although he acknowledges that the Braves have a slight advantage in starting pitching, Zach stresses that the Padres have a significantly stronger lineup, especially with key injuries affecting the Braves.

the last two months plus when you look

at it Royals have the better starting

pitcher in Lugo I like him a lot more I

like effin personally Zack effin's been

fine since he's gotten they've gotten

from Tampa Bay nice little replacement

for bradish but even so lugo's better

the bullpens are about equal they're

both erratic both wild cards both just

nuts but the lineup here has to go to

Kansas City because the oral just like

hitting wise just haven't been good the

last two months and they've got more

Talent than than the Royals do on the

plus money at plus 136 versus the

Orioles and then we'll go with the over

s and a half New York and Milwaukee

Montes for milwauke is so shitty like

he's so bad I don't even know why I

don't know why they're starting him with

their with their with their entire

season on the line I feel like there's

so many other players they can use and

they just picked the worst starting

pitcher that they have I mean you could

do Chris right there's so many other

people you can do Mana is hitable for

this Brewers team this Brewers team is

top 10 almost every single hitting

category same thing with the Mets um the

lineups I don't trust the Mets I don't

trust the Mets Bullpen at all uh the

Brewers Bullpen has been very good they

held the um the Mets zero runs after

they have that explosion in the fifth 7

and a half just seems like too low for

me especially given how bad Frankie

monis is and man is very hitable so give

me the over seven half New York and

Milwaukee here today and then we're go

with the Padre's money line over the

Braves um I think the Braves are the

starting pitching Advantage here I mean

I think Fred's better than Musgrove I

don't think he's that much better but I

think he is better the bullpens are

equal both are very very solid but the

biggest difference here is the lineups

and this is where we're really looking

here I mean the San Diego lineup is just

head and shoulders better than the

Braves have they just are and I I like

the Braves um you know I've got I've got

a lot of friends that are Braves fans

but the fact is is that they're

outmatched here the Padres are the

better team the Padres have a way better

line top bottom they're at home and on

top of that they even though the even

though the the Braves have a better

starting pitcher the fact is though is

that the the how with how much better

the lineup is for the Padre's here
