The Gambler's Edge - June 18
Cincinnati came through to deliver another crushing blow to us here at Gambling911.com as we go through an especially bad rough patch with our Major League Baseball betting picks.
Current MLB Record: 16-20 (44.5%)
Current NBA Record: 12-4-1 (75%)
Reds centerfielder Billy Hamilton started the day with a diving grab on the warning track in right-center to rob Pittsburgh's Francisco Cervelli of extra bases in the first. He ended it by starting the sequence that cut down the potential game-tying run at the plate in the eighth then trotting home in the ninth after Scott Schebler's two-run shot gave Cincinnati a little extra breathing room.
"Oh my goodness, that's the best part (is the hitting)," Hamilton said after boosting his average .197. "I ain't worried about the catch. The catch is good, but I'm just worried about what I did at the plate. Especially for me, I've been struggling, man. Just to have one of these days, it gives you a bunch of confidence and clears your head a little bit."
