Friday MLB Pick

The New York Yankees will take their 6-game winning streak into Daikin Park to face the Houston Astros tonight in the first of a 3-game set. Will Warren is expected on the hill for the Bombers and he has been delivering. Warren is 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Yanks are hot. Ride them ’til they are not.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

Thursday MLB Pick

With last night’s 7-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Philadelphia Phillies have now lost 8 straight. The Phillies have too much talent to lose 9 in a row. Today in a matinée at Wrigley, Cristopher Sánchez is expected on the hill for Philadelphia and he will pull them out of their abyss. Sánchez is 2-2 with an ERA of 1.59 and a 1.41 WHIP. Harper and company get it done today.  
TODAY’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Wednesday MLB Pick

The New York Yankees took game 1 of the 3-game set against their archrival, the Boston Red Sox, last night, 4-0, at Fenway. Yankees’ bats were stagnant for a while but have erupted. Over their last two games, they notched 11 runs and gave up zero. Expect more of the same tonight. Max Fried is expected on the hill for the Bombers. He was lit up in his last turn but that won’t happen again. The Yankee ace is 2-1 with a 2.97 ERA and a 0.81 WHIP.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

Tuesday NHL Pick

The Buffalo Sabres are young, fast and very dangerous and they never quit. That was evident in Game 1 on Sunday night when they were down 2-0 in the third period and rallied for 4 goals in a span of 8 minutes to go on to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins. Tonight in Game 2 of the first round, the Sabres will once again be at KeyBank Center. The Sabres are faster than the Bruins, score more goals than them, give up less, and will not let their dedicated fans down. 
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

Monday MLB Pick

The red hot Atlanta Braves will take their 5-game winning streak into D.C. tonight to open a 4-game set with the Washington Nationals. It appears no one can slow down the Braves. They are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Philadelphia Philles in Philly and have won 9 of their last 11. Bryce Elder is expected to be on the hill for Atlanta and he has been almost unhittable. Elder has the second lowest ERA in the Majors at 0.77, a 1.03 WHIP, and is 2-1 on the season. In his last turn against Miami, Elder was once again lights out, pitching 5-2/3 scoreless innings, resulting in a 6-3 Braves win. The Nationals have struggled at home with a record of 2-7. Their expected starter for tonight, Jake Irvin, could have issues with the Braves’ potent offense. Irvin is 1-2 with a 6.16 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, and that is not what you want when you face Atlanta. The Braves are 7-3 on the road, own the lowest team ERA in the Majors, average over 5 runs per game, are hot, and if that doesn’t warrant a consideration then what does?
TONIGHT’S PICK: ATLANTA BRAVES

Sunday MLB Pick

The Athletics and the Chicago White Sox will play the rubber game of their 3-game set this afternoon in Sacramento. Two southpaws are expected to oppose each other, Jeffrey Springs for the A’s and Noah Schultz for the White Sox, and that is where the similarities end. Schultz is 0-1 with a bloated 6.23 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP over just 4.1 innings of work. The Athletics will send him packing early. Over 24.2 innings of work, the A’s ace Springs comes in at 3-0 with an ERA of only 1.46, a 0.77 WHIP, and the Athletics are 5-1 in his last 6 starts. They will also have momentum on their side after rallying to beat the South Siders yesterday, 7-6, in extra innings.
