Game Picks - Thursday: July 16, 2009

Yay! Baseball is back on Thursday with a partial slate of games. After three days rest, why do some teams need another day off?

Those three days were murder. Yes, the All Star game was mildly amusing and President Obama was jaunty and fun. Tim McCarver was unbearable as usual and it was stupid that Halladay had to bat in the second inning. The DH should be the rule for all All Star games. But all that is behind us now and we can look forward to a fun-filled second half. Weeee! Here we go!

Thursday's picks:

  • The Nationals over the Cubs: The Cubs second half starts with a thud as Lannon out guns Harden.
  • The Indians over the Mariners: Lee pitches for all those scouts again.
  • The Braves over the Mets: Uh oh! Don't look now, but Perez is back for the Mets. Duck!
  • The Brewers over the Reds: The Home Run Derby champ bats against Homer Bailey? Can it be more fitting?
  • The Marlins over the Phillies: Moyer is like Wakefield. How? Why? How long?
  • The Rockies over the Padres: Cook should be all over the weak-hitting Pads.
  • The Angels over the A's: Santana should be better than Braden. Does anyone remember Braden Theatres?
  • The Dodgers over the Astros: Hate to pick against Wandy, but the Dodgers are at home and they rarely lose there.

Sunday: 11-4
Week: 11-4
Month: 83-69
