Game Picks - Wednesday: June 24, 2009

The fun in the Florida sun continues, while the ick in the Florida picks also continues. Watched a lot of baseball last night. Saw Matt Wieters hit his second homer. Watched the Marlins win in twelve innings (thus ruining that pick). Watched the Cubs benefit from a blown save by Joel Zumaya only to have Gregg blow the save in the bottom of the ninth (thus ruining that pick). Watched the Bay Rays get destroyed by Philadelphia. This picker should get some kind of metal for listening to Tommy Hutton for twelve innings.

The pool is beckoning, so let's get these picks done, shall we?

• The Tigers over the Cubs: Porcello over Harden. Speaking of Harden, the Fan Wife made brownies last night and the Fan could feel his arteries Hardening as he was eating.
• The Pirates over the Indians: Duke over Pavano, who has been out from injuries recently.
• The Red Sox over the Nationals: Lester will not be a jester over Stammen, who will lack Stammena against this lineup.
• The Blue Jays over the Reds: The Jays are starting to cook pretty good.
• The Phillies over the Bay Rays: The Phillies are great on the road but suck at home. Why is that?
• The Mets over the Cardinals: Like Nieve over Thompson. Nieve won't be a sieve and Thompson won't be a water seal.
• The Orioles over the Marlins: Batters haven't been jerkin' Baltimore's Berken and he should beat Nolasco.
• The Yankees over the Braves: The Yankees suck, but they should win once in a while.
• The Astros over the Royals: Oswalt should beat Hochever.
• The Twins over the Brewers: Blackburn will not cause heartburn and the Twins will hit more than bloopers off of Looper.
• The Dodgers over the White Sox: Wolf should beat Floyd.
• The Diamondbacks over the Rangers: Haran should beat Padilla.
• The Giants over the A's: Randy Johnson should beat Gonzalez.
• The Rockies over the Angels: In Marquis we trust. Rule #3.
• The Padres over the Mariners: Really like this Geer guy.
