Game Picks - Monday: May 11, 2009

Well, a bloodbath was feared and a bloodbath it was. On a Sunday of uncertain matchups, it was possible to be wrong most of the time and that was the case here. It feels really fortunate just to have been correct six times. But the feeling is strong that the picks could have been even more successful simply picking teams out of a hat!

Ah well. Let's get to today's picks. Hopefully, there will be some sanity today. There are only four games being played in the majors today, so the margin for error is teeny teeny.

• Indians over the White Sox: Ugh. Nope, today isn't any better. Gavin Floyd verses Carl Pavano. Both teams are really struggling. The Fan is getting all jiggy wit it and picking Pavano to win two in a row.
• Mets over the Braves: Great matchup here with Johan Santana versus Derek Lowe. The Mets are absolutely fanatical about not giving Santana any run support. And Derek Lowe is a worthy pitcher. Let's go with the best pitcher of the decade.
• Diamondbacks over the Reds: The Reds lost a heartbreaker yesterday and Arroyo has not looked good of late. He goes up against Jon Garland.
• Giants over the Nationals: Randy Johnson is pitching and as his starts have had a perfect symmetry of Jekyll and Hyde, this should be the good start. The start after this one will be the bad one.

That's it. Four games. Please be good. Please!
