Pick of the day, June 4th

June 4, 2008

Cardinals

Last nights pick ended our hot streak, I guess we gave Brad Penny to much credit for what he did in the past. We will give credit to Jeff Francis "The Canadian Boy" for pitching a gem on the road. He reminded me of the pitcher he was last year. Hopefully, when the Rockies fianlly become healthy they can start playing the way they did last year.

Todays pick were taking the St. Louis Caridnals (-118). The pitching matchup Cardinals Wellemeyer (6-1, 3.16) vs Nationals Lannan (4-5, 3.52).

Again were going with the away favorite it seems to be a trend in our picks lately, but will go with whats working for us. The Cardinals are 5-0 this year against the struggling and injured Nationals. The Cardinals are also 5-0 against National League East opponents, while the Nationals are 8-10 against Central teams. The Nationals also have a losing record at going 13-16, while the Cardinals are 14-12 on the road.

Pitching Notes

  • Wellemeyer is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA and a save in seven relief appearances against Washington (24-35).
  • Lannan's only career start against the Cardinals on April 6 resulted in a 3-0 loss as he allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings.

Pick of the day, June 3rd

June 2, 2008

DodgersOverall we are now 3-2 on the season with last nights Anaheim Angels play coming through. We have won 3 consecutive games and we can keep the ball rolling.

Todays pick were taking the LA Dodgers (-130). The pitching matchup Dodgers Penny (5-6, 5.66) vs Rockies Francis (1-5, 6.12). Today were taking the Dodgers even though they have yet to prove themselves this season. They are playing a struggling team in the Rockies and facing a pitcher who can't seem to find the same stuff he had last year. Now on the other hand Penny and the Dodgers don't have much more to show for this year, they both sport a loosing record. We like this pick is because, the Dodgers have a winning record at home (16-11) versus the Rockies who sport a supperb record of (8-24) on the road. The Dodgers also have a winning record versus the National League West division (12-9), and the Rockies having a (7-21) record versus their divison. The Rockies have also lost 8 staright games, yes they are do for a win but we dont see them beating the Dodgers today.

Pitching Notes

  • Penny is 9-0 with a 3.28 ERA in his last 13 starts versus the Rockies, and 14-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 23 career starts.
  • Jeff Francis (1-5, 6.12 ERA), who is 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA in two starts versus Los Angeles this season. But Francis is 4-2 with a 2.96 ERA in 11 lifetime starts against the Dodgers.
