Game Picks - Wednesday: June 3, 2009

If this game picker was a swearing man, the air would start to get mighty blue right about now. Two more blown saves (read about one of them in the Piniella post), a Johan Santana loss, an unexpected Dice-K gem have deepened the picker's depression to the point of despair. As of this moment, the Fan couldn't pick an egg from a rock. Let's say this loud and clear: "The Fan Hates Blown Saves!!" That is, unless the blown save helps the pick...

With a heavy heart and wounded pride, here comes another day of scintillating picks:

• The Mets over the Pirates: The Mets, as usual, wouldn't give any runs to Santana, so they'll give them all to Pelfrey instead.
• The Giants over the Nationals: Randy Johnson wins game #300 and nobody seems to care. The Fan cares and will write about this when it finally happens.
• The Red Sox over the Tigers: Beckett is hitting his stride.
• The Rangers over the Yankees: Feldman has been very good for the Rangers.
• The Blue Jays over the Angels: Halladay inspires the team to another win over the Angels.
• The Royals over the Bay Rays: Because the Fan always enjoys Joe Posnanski's joy over a Bannister win.
• The Marlins over the Brewers: West is a lefty and the Brewers best hitters bat left-handed.
• The Braves over the Cubs: Derek Lowe over Ted Lilly and also because the Cubs deserve to lose after last night.
• The Rockies over the Astros: Rule #1: Never pick against Marquis. Wonder what contender he will end up on?
• The Indians over the Twins: The Indians are due for their one win this week.
• The A's over the White Sox: Holliday has just realized that this is a contract year.
• The Reds over the Cardinals: No confidence in Lohse. There has to be something physically wrong with the guy.
• The Padres over the Phillies: Because this pick has to be right sooner or later, right?
• The Dodgers over the Diamondbacks: Billingsley over Garland. Dodgers at home.
• The Orioles over the Mariners: Bergesen has been really good for the Orioles.
