The Detroit Tigers are off to a slow start but get back on track today in their home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. Framber Valdez is expected to get the nod for the Tigers. In his first outing of the season against the San Diego Padres, Valdez was throwing flames. The southpaw notched seven strong innings, yielding just one earned run, and the Tigers went on to a 5-2 win. Comerica Park is going to be electric and the Tigers will not stumble.

Sunday NHL Pick
The Buffalo Sabres had better be sleeping with one eye open because the Tampa Bay Lightning are just two points back of them for the lead in the Atlantic and they have two in the bush. Today the Lightning will be hosting the Nashville Predators and they have their number. The Lightning have won three straight against the Predators, 8 of the last 9, and are 22-12 at home. The Bolts don’t come cheap today but are worth considering.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Saturday MLB Pick
The Baltimore Orioles won their season opener against the Minnesota Twins in a close one, 2-1, on Thursday. Today in the middle game of a 3-game set at Birdland the Orioles are expected to send Kyle Bradish to the hill. Bradish returned to the rotation late last season after Tommy John surgery and was back to doing what he does best and that is deliver. In 6 starts, Bradish was 1-1 with an ERA of only 2.53 and a 1.03 WHIP. The Twins are expected to counter with Taj Bradley. Last year with Tampa and Minnesota Bradley was 6-9 with a bloated ERA of 5.05 and a 1.31 WHIP. Pete Alonso and company are ready to pounce.
