Game Picks - Sunday: June 21, 2009

Happy Father's Day everyone! Baseball is truly one of the biggest father/son traditions there are. It's a truly generational game and it just seems natural that Father's Day falls in the middle of the best sports season of them all.

Here are today's Father's Day picks:

• The Tigers over the Brewers: Great matchup of Verlander versus Gallardo. Going to go with Verlander who will make that kid yesterday that bamboozled the Brewers look like a toy gun.
• The Reds over the White Sox: Looking for Harang to out pitch Buehrle.
• The Mets over the Bay Rays: Pelfrey is about even with Niemann, so will go with the home team.
• The Phillies over the Orioles: Cole Hamels will end the losing streak.
• The Blue Jays over the Nationals: Romero should be better than Martis. The Jays should be better than the Nationals.
• The Braves over the Red Sox: Jurrjens is pitching.
• The Twins over the Astros: Wandy has lost his way lately. Disappointing!
• The Royals over the Cardinals: Gil (ga) Meche has been outstanding lately.
• The Cubs over the Indians: What can you say about the poor Indians. Blown saves in three straight leading to three straight extra innings losses. This one won't get into extra frames.
• The Pirates over the Rockies: Maholm slows down the Rockies silver bullet.
• The A's over the Padres: Braden over Correia.
• The Rangers over the Giants: Millwood is pitching so well, it's scary. Keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
• The Mariners over the Diamondbacks: King Felix should cut the Diamondbacks into multiple facets.
• The Yankees over the Marlins: Sabathia should beat Volstad.
• The Dodgers over the Angels: Kershaw out duels Lackey.
