Game Picks - Sunday: June 27, 2010

Thank goodness that A. J. Burnett was as bad as expected. That Dodgers pick put this picker over the top on what would have been a negative day. Of course, the Yankees may pay for giving the game away trying to get him straightened out. And they truly gave that game away. The best pick of the day was the Twins over Santana and the Mets. This picker was the only one on BallHype that correctly picked that one. Also the Game of the Day is on a five day roll. Call the Fan giddy.

Sunday is the beginning a new week and this Fan's favorite baseball day of the week. Here's how it looks:

• The Padres over the Marlins: Latos sweeps Florida and the Marlins continue to sleep walk.
• The Mets over the Twins: Baker has been just okay. Niese has been really good. Taking the Mets at home.
• The Reds over the Indians: The league is catching up to Talbot and Arroyo has been good.
• The Orioles over the Nationals: Thinking Guthrie has a good chance to give the Orioles a series win. How unusual would THAT be?
• The Tigers over the Braves: Is it just the Fan or is Verlander the older version of Hanson?
• The Blue Jays over the Phillies: Moyer is due for one of his patented belly flops. Cecil has been pretty good.
• The Diamondbacks over the Bay Rays: Isn't it time the Bay Rays replaced Wade Davis with Hellickson?
• The White Sox over the Cubs: Danks will win over Dempster. When will Piniella be fired? Nothing has been more due in ages.
• The Mariners over the Brewers: Vargas versus Narveson. Ick.
• The Cardinals over the Royals: Garcia needs to throw more strikes, but the Royals aren't exactly patient at the plate.
• The Rockies over the Angels: Chacin is a stud when he's on. Santana has been inconsistent.
• The Pirates over the Athletics: Need an upset on the card. Ohlendorf is much better than anyone thinks.
• The Rangers over the Astros: Hunter shoots an arrow into Oswalt.
• The Yankees over the Dodgers: Pettitte on television over Kershaw.

And the Game of the Day:

• The Red Sox over the Giants: The Red Sox will wait Lincecum out and make him throw strikes.
