Game Picks - Monday: June 15, 2009

A change of attitude sometimes means a world of difference. This daily feature has been a lot about whining about game outcomes and blown saves and lost opportunities. This picker has begged and cajoled and cried about bad outcomes. Starting last week, with the help of a faithful reader, this picker decided to have a better attitude. After all, this isn't life and death and no money is riding on the outcomes. Yesterday's post was not about the mediocre results from the day before, but was an ode to Sundays in the summer. The attitude adjustment just might make a difference.

Or, this picker is just downright superstitious and it's all a coincidence. Either way, the sun is out strong again today and only two games are on Monday's MLB schedule. So this should be a walk in the park.

  • The Brewers over the Indians: What's to make of one Mr. Pavano? The Fan picked against him for weeks as he continued to win game after game. Okay, well, maybe this is something the Fan should be a man about and get real about Mr. Pavano. So his last time out, the Fan picked him to win. Mr. Pavano then goes out and gets absolutely pounded. Pummelled is probably the better word. So since the Fan can't seem to figure this out, we'll go with the Brewers.
  • The Angels over the Giants: Lackey versus Zito in what looks like a good matchup. Lackey seems like the better pick.

That's it!

Yesterday: 10-5
Week: 10-5
Month: 84-86
