I’m taking the Cards in the early game with Lackey on the bump. Since joining the Cards, he has been dominant. In his last 3 starts, his ERA is 1.89 with a WHIP of 0.89. The Cards are 40-12 in last 52 at home.

Today’s pick:

Saint Louis Cardinals

Tonight I’m rolling with the Detroit Tigers who host the Athletics at home. Detroit should end their 4 game skid with Simon on the hill. Simon loves pitching at Comerica Park. In his last 3 outings, Simon’s ERA is 1.31 with a WHIP of 1.11. On the flip side, Graveman has an ERA of 4.96 with a WHIP of 1.47. Detroit has won each of their four starts Comerica this season with Simon pitching. Oakland is 3-9 in their last 12 road games. The Tigers have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, power, speed, hitting and defense.

Tonight’s pick:

Detroit Tigers

Cash in with Cashner. Mets had a long flight from Kennedy and Padres didn’t. Also, Yankees’ Pineda is going home to Seattle.

Today’s picks:

San Diego Padres
New York Yankees

I’m rolling the dice on four teams today. I like the Mets. They’ve already swept the Marlins this year. They lost 2 straight and should get the win today.

When Hutchison pitches, Blue Jays score. Phillies and Brewers are due.

Today’s picks:

New York Mets
Toronto Blue Jays
Philadelphia Phillies
Milwaukee Brewers

Good win yesterday with the Royals. Let’s keep it rolling today with the Phillies and Harang. Harang has an ERA of .090 and a WHIP of 1.05 in his last 3 outings. Colorado is 16-38 in the last 54 games against the Broad Street Bullies. Also, let’s take Houston and Keuchel. He’s 7-1 in his last 8 home games and 14-3 in his last 17 starts.

Today’s picks:

Philadelphia Phillies
Houston Astros

Orioles got the second leg of the double header yesterday. Double headers always split. Never bet the first one.

Today I’m taking the Royals as a dog in the early game. They are 9-2 for their last 11 Friday games and 21-9 in the last 30. Royals are 9-6 in the day and Cubs are 8-11 in the day. The Royals have the edge in the bull pen, hitting, power, defense and bench and they have lost 4 straight so they are due. If you like betting totals, check the wind at Wrigley. Right now it’s 7 mile an hour winds SSW.

More picks coming later.

Today’ afternoon delight:

Kansas City Royals

Looks like Sale and the White Sox will get the first one of the double header. My experience is that double header wins are normally split. Chris Beck is making his first start for the White Sox but doesn’t compare to Sale. Mike Wright for Baltimore is 1-0, has pitched 14 innings with 0 ERA and .70 WHIP. Baltimore has the edge in bullpen, hitting, power, speed, defense and bench. I’m taking Baltimore in the second of the daily double.

Today’s pick:

Baltimore Orioles
