BvP for MVP – May 13

I’ve been seeing a meme go around that says today is Friday the 13th AND a full moon. Only half of that is true after doing a quick Google search, and yes, I realize today’s date. So, no, today is not a full moon. All teachers and parents reading this can breath a half sigh […]

BvP for MVP – May 11

We have half the slate of games today with a split slate, and with another piss poor BvP outing Tuesday (take the lumps with the highs with BvP), there only will be half the picks. What is half when I come to the plate anyway, right? We are going to have to get a little […]

BvP for MVP – Tuesday, May 10

You can’t always take the sexiest pick on the block. We saw that last week in our 3 BvP selection pieces, and the result was atrocious. Two nights where we were graded less than a one with an OK Friday to boot. We are slipping, falling, but we gots to get up! To make up […]

BvP for MVP – May 6

Welcome back everyone! Tonight we have a jam-packed 14-game slate on tap in the MLB. Not a lot of the top hitter’s parks are in play tonight either. The Blue Jays host Dodgers’ rookie fireballer Kenta Maeda at Rogers Centre while the Yankees and Red Sox square off in their second series of the season […]

BvP for MVP – May 4

Well, that was brutal. Tuesdays are not my day for picks are they? I believe last Tuesday was a sub-1 grade using our system, and last night was downright awful. I don’t think my dog could poop out stink pickles that smelly. Harper, Joyce (I should be ridiculed for that pick), Tulo, Donaldson, Stanton, A-Rod […]

BvP for MVP – May 3

Welp, let me be the third or fourth person to congratulate Greg, our Superintendent of DailyOverlay after a HUGE win last week. He scored a nice lump sum of $50K and he has BvP for MVP partially to thank for it as well as our very own On the Hill by Brad. He utilized these […]

BvP for MVP – April 29

Welp, see ya later FanDuel. This weekend will be the last this Texan can play DFS on FanDuel. I hope the remainder of DFS sites don’t fall in line, and I hope FanDuel can help get DFS back on board in Texas. I received an email before the baseball season started that FanDuel reached an […]

BvP For MVP – April 27 (Late Only)

I am miffed a bit about last night’s Rangers/Yankees game. Knowing the threat of severe weather in the area (including a PDS Tornado Watch). I’ve lived in Texas for 33 years and I’ve never heard of a PDS watch until Tuesday evening. PDS stands for Potential Dangerous Situation. Anyway, storms were slated to erupt around […]

BvP for MVP – April 26

Today we are back at it for another round of BvP action! Last week was rather tough, and we have been dethroned by our very own “On the HIll” expert Brad after this week’s rankings came out Monday. Luckily, a decent showing Friday helped BvP stay a close second. It’s nice to see Daily Overlay hang […]

BvP for MVP – April 22

Let’s pause for a moment of silence… Not because of the passing of two entertainment greats, WWE’s Chyna and music legend Prince (crazy though right?), but for my time at the top of our Expert Grading Rankings. I think Tuesday’s output (and if tonight doesn’t go well) will doom me from making it a third […]

BvP for MVP – April 20

Tough start to the week with yesterday’s picks, though the games that many might have expected to score a lot of runs did not. The Braves scored 8, the Mets bombarded the Phillies with 11 runs. The Rangers put up a solid line against the Astros (yes, I thought this game would get postponed when […]

BvP for MVP – April 19

We have a huge 13-game slate on tap for tonight, but you can probably throw out of those due to weather (it’s possible it’s already been announced). In Texas, we endure all kinds of weather. During the winter, it could 80 degrees one day and 14 degrees the next with snow flurries. Then comes spring […]
