April 15, 2014 Sports Picks

I started out on the wrong foot yesterday going 0-3 for -328.  I hope to get some or all of that back tonight.  Here are my picks tonight:

Orioles ML -105 $105 to win $100
- The O's completely dominated the Rays last night winning 7-1.  The Rays couldn't get anything going offensively against a pitcher who had been struggling.  Tonight the O's have Miguel Gonzalez on the mound.  I'm a fan of Gonzalez who went 11-8 with a 3.78 ERA last year.  Nothing special but he is a quality pitcher who will keep his club in games.  The Rays have Brandon Gomes pitching.  Gomes has been a career relief pitcher and is making his first career start.  Gomes isn't very good and the O's offense should be able to put up plenty of runs against him. 

Pirates ML -108 $150 to win $142
- Anyone who has read my blog knows that I love Gerrit Cole.  Why wouldn't you?  The guy is a big game pitcher and can bring the heat.  He hits the under 90s and has good control.  Cole is 2-0 on the season with a 3.46 ERA.  He'll be looking to improve on his record when he faces a cold Reds team who is just 4-8 on the season.  Pittsburgh will look to stop their three game losing streak with one of the MLB's best pitchers.  Keep an eye on Cole this year.  I believe he'll be in the running for a Cy Young if he stays healthy. 

Nationals RL -1.5 -110 $110 to win $100
- Strasburg used to be my favorite pitcher and now he's just my third favorite (after Cole and Fernandez).  Strasburg doesn't have electric stuff like he used to but he is getting stronger with each start.  He is coming off a 12 strikeout, 1 ER win against Miami.  Tonight he faces Miami again.  Good news for Washington.

Red Sox ML -150 $150 to win $100
- Boston has started off in a hole going 5-8 and pulling up the rear in the AL East.  The Red Sox are just too good to be sitting in the cellar.  Boston is throwing Jake Peavy tonight who will face off against his old team the Chicago White Sox.  Peavy has started off the season strong with a 2.13 ERA and he has also pitched well against the White Sox (2.57 ERA) in his one previous start against his old club.  Chicago has Erik Johnson pitching, who just isn't very good (9.58 ERA).  Johnson is a young pitcher with only seven career starts.  I'll take my chances with the Red Sox tonight.

A's ML -101 $150 to win $149
- Oakland is one of the top teams in the MLB this year.  They have a very solid lineup and great pitching staff.  They are 9-4 on the season and 6-1 on the road.  Dan Straily is pitching for the A's tonight and this young pitcher is set for a breakout season.  He has a 2.77 ERA so far this season and is coming off a very nice game against the Twins where he went 7 innings giving up just 3 hits and 1 run.  The Angels have the talent but with Garrett Richards pitching I would rather take the better team with the better starting pitcher.  Richards has been good this year (2-0, 0.75 ERA) but he has a 5.00 career ERA against the A's and has not beat them in four previous starts. 

Nets ML -250 $250 to win $100
- Brooklyn needs this win to secure the #5 seed in the playoffs and Carmelo Anthony most likely won't play tonight.

Hey Everyone!  I'm back after taking a little time off.  Baseball season is in full swing and there's been enough games so far to start researching and offering up picks.  For today, I'm going with just a few to get back in the swing of things.

Rays ML -113 $113 to win $100
- Baltimore has a very solid team again this year and over the past few years they have played very well at home.  So far this year they are just 2-4 at home and Tampa is 3-3 on the road.  In terms of the pitching matchup, Chris Archer has started the season off with two great starts going 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA.  I'm a big fan of Archer and he has the stuff to shut down the O's.  Chen has pitched below par in his first two starts and is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA.

Brewers ML -115 $115 to win $100
- Milwaukee has started off the season on fire is a MLB best 10-2.  They have won 9 straight and tonight they have Matt Garza on the hill who went 8 innings giving up just 2 hits and 1 run in his only home start this season.  St. Louis is a solid team but Lance Lynn is inconsistent and has a 6.55 ERA on the season.

A's RL -1.5 +145 $100 to win $145
- Oakland started this season hot going 8-4.  They are also 5-1 on the road.  LA is playing decent but are just 6-6 on the season and 2-4 at home.  Jesse Chavez for the A's has pitched great in his first two starts posting a 1.38 ERA.  The Angel's starter, Hector Santiago, has not pitched well and is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA.  He also has a career 5.40 ERA against the A's.
