Game Picks - Sunday: June 6, 2010

There had to be a little bump in the road after so many successful days in a row. After the early games, it looked like it was going to be more than a bump as all the early games came in wrong. But the Fan rallied and almost made it to .500 for the day. Oh well. Sunday will be better.

Sunday's games:

• The Yankees over the Blue Jays: The Blue Jays wouldn't sweep the Yankees, would they?
• The Mets over the Marlins: Takahashi looked awful last time out but the Mets are hot.
• The Giants over the Pirates: Lincecum is pitching, but he hasn't been great lately. Don't know how solid this pick is.
• The Phillies over the Padres: The flying fathers can't seem to beat Philly.
• The Reds over the Nationals: The Reds are picking it up again after a stumble.
• The Red Sox over the Orioles: Juan Samuel goes 0-4 as a manager.
• The Astros over the Cubs: Went back and forth on this one. Finally decided that Myers sounded better than Wells.
• The Indians over the White Sox: Why not? They've already beaten them twice.
• The Tigers over the Royals: Bonderman over Bannister in a tight game.
• The Bay Rays over the Rangers: Order is restored in the Bay Rays' universe.
• The Twins over the Athletics: Blackburn squeaks by Gonzalez.
• The Dodgers over the Braves: Going with Ely's hot hand.
• The Rockies over the Diamondbacks: Ubaldo!
• The Angels over the Mariners: Pineiro is good one game and bad the next. Last game was bad, so this one will be good. Hey, a scientist has to track these things!

And the Game of the Day:

• The Cardinals over the Brewers: Garcia over Parra. And what of Macha after this sweep?
