It was just a matter of time before the World Champs got on track and they have. The game was rained out yesterday but the pick remains the same. Today the Boston Red Sox will seek their fourth straight win with the best southpaw on the planet tapping the rubber, Chris Sale, when they open a 4-game set at Fenway against the Detroit Tigers. Sale might be 0-4 to start the season but don’t let that sway you. He delivers. Tigers are 0-4 in their last 4 games against lefties and that’s that. Boston!

Sunday MLB Pick
Will the Washington Nationals get swept by the Miami Marlins in an early one today? I say not. Stephen Strasburg will get the nod for the Nationals and he has been a Marlin killer. Washington is 4-0 in his last 4 turns at Marlins Park and 21-7 in his last 28 starts against Miami overall. That’s dominance.
TODAY’S PICK: WASHINGTON NATIONALS
Saturday MLB Pick
The play today is the New York Yankees over the Kansas City Royals. Masahiro Tanaka will take the hill for the Bombers and he is 1-1, with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. The Royals will counter with Heath Fillmyer who is 0-0, with a 9.00 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP. The Yanks should have a heyday with this guy.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
Friday NHL Pick
After putting the screws to Toronto Wednesday night at Scotiabank Arena, the Boston Bruins will have the momentum when the venue switches tonight to TD Garden in Boston. With the series knotted at two apiece, both teams are well aware that the winner of game 5 in a 7-game series, more times than not, will win the series. This has to be a major concern for the Leafs, knowing they have lost 4 of their last 5 trips to Legends Way, and that the home team has won 12 of the last 17 meetings between the two clubs. Brad Marchand has been a Leaf killer and with 20,000 raucous fans behind them, the Bruins get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
Thursday MLB Pick
The San Diego Padres have lost 3 straight but should get back on track tonight for two reasons. They are hosting the Cincinnati Reds and will have the young phenom on the hill, Chris Paddack. Paddack has yet to get a decision, at 0-0, but the Padres have won all of his 3 starts and his stuff has been nasty. He has a 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP in 14 innings of work. The Reds were just swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and are winless on the road at 0-7. Tanner Roark will get the nod for the Reds and he has been mediocre at best. Roark is 0-0, with a 4.30 ERA, a 1.70 WHIP, and the Reds are just 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Petco Park. The Friars end their skid.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES
Wednesday MLB Pick
The Chicago Cubs will go for a 3-game sweep tonight over the lowly Miami Marlins in South Florida. Donnie Baseball’s team has mustered just 4 wins in 2019 and can’t score runs. With last night’s shutout, the Marlins have been blanked 4 times this season and it won’t get any easier for them tonight because they will be facing Cole Hamels. The southpaw has been on his game, with a record of 2-0, a 3.79 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. The Marlins will give the nod to Sandy Alcántara, who sits at 1-1, with a 4.24 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Alcántara has struggled since opening the season on a high note. Over his last 9 innings he has allowed 15 hits, 8 runs and 7 walks. The Cubs are hot, winning 4 of their last 5 games and have won 5 straight against the Marlins.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO CUBS
