Question for whoever, what is the rule on postponed games - do they still count towards your record? For instance I picked the Reds on Wednesday, it got rained out and was played Thursday morning instead as game 1 of a double header on Thursday. Does that game still count, or is it eliminated because it wasn't played on Wednesday?

Yes, they are cancelled. Same rule as if you were betting with a sportsbook. Need to re-post the following day.
 
AMAZING 1 other picking
DETROIT minus 3
Arizona over 8.5 unable to read what it costs.
Atlanta minus 1
