Game Picks - Monday: August 16, 2010

Sunday was a much better day as this picker was correct on eleven of fifteen picks. The only mistakes were the Yankees (who played like they had a plane to catch), the Angels (give those Blue Jays props), the Mets (terrible clutch team) and Seattle where King Felix pitched like Masterson and Masterson pitched like King Felix. The eleven wins puts the Fan over the thousand correct mark for the season, which is a milestone of sorts.

There are only seven games on the schedule for Monday. Here they are:

• The Marlins over the Pirates: The Pirates keep their losing streak alive and Volstad gets the win.
• The Orioles over the Mariners: Bergesen is flourishing under the new regime. The Mariners still can't hit.
• The Braves over the Dodgers: Going with Hanson even though inexplicably, he's a .500 pitcher this season.
• The Yankees over the Tigers: Yankees at home? Yeah. Going with Vazquez over Scherzer.
• The Astros over the Mets: Going with the Fan's main man, Wandy Rodriguez. Niese goes for the Mets.
• The Rangers over the Bay Rays: Cliff Lee in a super show down with David Price. Would love to see this game.
• The Blue Jays over the Athletics: Is there any consolation being the fifth best team in baseball? Marcum over Anderson.

And the Game of the Day

• The Padres over the Cubs: Corriea has been unhittable in his last two outings. Gorzelanny will keep the Cubs close.
