Friday's Picks:
- Phillies over the Braves: Cole Hamels over Reyes for the Braves. It seems that the NL East will feature a bunch of leap-frogging with different teams beating up on different teams.
- Yankees over the Orioles: Because, spammit! The stupid team has to win some time! Plus A-Rod is back. No matter what he does, he'll provide more protection for Teixeira. Watch for Tex to get hot.
- Tigers over the Indians: This is a tough matchup with Verlander against Lee. Advantage with Verlander and power versus Lee with guile.
- Reds over the Cardinals: Cueto versus Pineiro. Depends on which Cueto shows up. But he was dominant last time. Can he do it twice in a row?
- Pirates over the Mets: Yeah, yeah. This one looks stupid. But the Mets are coming off an emotional series with the Phillies and they have Niese pitching for them. Feel a loss in the bones.
- Bay Rays over the Red Sox: Like Shields over Penny in this one.
- Astros over the Padres: Wandy is the man.
- Brewers over the Cubs: This one looks stupid as well, but the Cubs are starting an unknown Randy Wells, just called up from AAA.
- Twins over the Mariners: Baker has been showing signs of recapturing his mojo from last year. It's time for him to win.
- Rangers over the White Sox: Contreras is pitching for the White Sox. Enough said. When is Josh Hamilton coming back?
- Marlins over the Rockies: Nolasco has to come out of his funk some time. He's too good a pitcher.
- Nationals over the Diamondbacks: The Nationals have been raking of late and put a comeback hurt on the Dodgers last night. Down six, they won by scoring nine runs. Diamondbacks have been the anti-rakers.
- Royals over the Angels: Gil (ga) Meche is due for a win and the Angels are starting Martin. This one looks good.
- Oakland over Toronto: Have to root for a pitcher named Outman (who pitched well last time out).
- Giants over the Dodgers: The Dodgers' fifty game funk begins. Zito has been pitching well for the Giants.
Yesterday: 7-8
This week: 37-36
