Yesterday’s MLB and NFL preseason slate gave us a mix of close calls and clear misses. As always, we keep it 100% transparent here at ClutchDailySports, so let’s walk through how our picks actually played out.
ShΕta Imanaga (Cubs) Over 5.5 Strikeouts
We needed six punchouts from Imanaga, but he finished with only five across seven innings. Solid outing, just not enough strikeouts. ❌
Chase Dollander (Rockies) Under 3.5 Strikeouts
This one went the other way too. Dollander struck out five in 3.2 innings, so the under missed. ❌
MLB Value Parlay: Cubs ML + Dodgers First 5 -1.5 + Astros First 5 Team Total Over 2.5
- Cubs lost 4–1, ending the parlay early.
- Dodgers jumped all over Colorado, leading 8–2 after five innings. ✅
- Astros’ bats exploded with seven runs by the fifth, crushing their team total. ✅
Two legs hit, but with the Cubs falling short, the parlay lost. ❌
Russell Wilson Over 1.5 Passing TDs
In preseason action, Wilson didn’t deliver two passing scores. This one fell flat. ❌
Steelers -5 vs Panthers
Finally, a winner. Pittsburgh took care of business 19–10, covering the spread comfortably. ✅
NFL Value Parlay: Giants ML + Russell Wilson Over 175.5 Passing Yards
The Giants rolled the Patriots 42–10, cashing their moneyline easily. But Wilson didn’t clear the yardage number, so the combo fell short. ❌
Final Thoughts
It was a tough card overall — only the Steelers spread and a couple of partial legs in the MLB parlay came through. That’s the nature of betting: some days you ride the highs, others you take the lumps. The important part is staying honest about results, learning from the misses, and looking ahead to the next slate.
We’ll regroup, tighten up, and aim for a stronger showing in the next run of picks.
