The Seattle Mariners will be glad to get back home tonight to open a 4-game set against the Texas Rangers. Seattle lost its last 3 on the road and will turn to the leftie Marco Gonzales to right the ship. Gonzales has yet to lose a turn at 4-0, posting an ERA of 3.32 with a 1.36 WHIP. Texas is expected to go with southpaw Taylor Hearn. Hearn will be making his Big League debut and it could be a long night for the rookie. The Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 home game against lefties and have won 4 of the last 5 meetings in Seattle against Texas.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE MARINERS
Wednesday NHL Pick

Tuesday MLB Pick
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!
TODAY’S PICK: BOSTON RED SOX

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
