Game Picks - Tuesday: July 7, 2009

Our last day in Florida. We head back to our home in Maine tomorrow and it's time. Back to our own bed and our flower gardens, our golf course...and well...back to work. But it has been nice here in Paradise and overall, the picks haven't been awful. They just haven't been great either. Who knows, with any luck, we'll get to watch one more Marlins' game tonight before we go.

Today's picks:

  • The Phillies over the Reds: Will the Phillies have anything left after last night's 22-1 performance. This pick thinks they will.
  • The Tigers over the Royals: Verlander versus Chen seems like the mismatch of the century.
  • The Blue Jays over the Bay Rays: The Fan doesn't really think this will happen. Just hoping it does.
  • The Dodgers over the Mets: Pelfrey has been good lately, but will the Mets score any runs?
  • The Red Sox over the A's: The A's surprised yesterday by beating the Red Sox. Don't think they will beat Beckett.
  • The Braves over the Cubs: The Cubs are heating up. But Vazquez will cool them off and Dempster is due to be Dempster sooner or later.
  • The Brewers over the Cardinals: Like Gallardo's chances over the Cards.
  • The Pirates over the Astros: Continue to believe in Maholm even though he hasn't been good lately.
  • The Yankees over the Twins: Sabathia goes for the Yankees and Baker has given up a lot of homers this year. Not a good thing in Yankee Stadium.
  • The White Sox over the Indians: Like Buerhle over Sowers.
  • The Nationals over the Rockies: Like Zimmermann over Hammel.
  • The Padres over the Diamondbacks: The Padres are just a better team when the pitchers stack up as equal.
  • The Anges over the Rangers: The Rangers use this series to put first time starter, Nippert, out there? What are they, nuts?
  • The Orioles over the Mariners: Bedard is back, but what will he last, five innings? Then it's the Mariner bullpen. Ugh.
  • The Marlins over the Giants: Josh Johnson should be better than Barry Zito.

There you have it. Have a great Tuesday.

Yesterday: 5-6
Week: 15-11
Month: 36-29
