Tonights post is going to be short. I had some trouble getting home tonight and I can barely see straight I am so tired. But I will give you an overview of a couple picks I really like. Lets get to it...


The Picks:


Pick #1 West Brom

      I am so sorry I didn't get this up in time. No internet this morning. I went with West Brom on my streakhelper entry. Hopefully you dont't let the name Man U trick you. In previous matches West Brom drew to Man U on the road and lost afterward 2-1. With them being at home, I don't see why they can't lose by just 1 as they have in the past.


Pick #2 Angels (there is an aweful delay with my phone to write about this game. Also its hard to write posts through a mobile phone as well. I picked LA though). I originally had this as a "possible pick". But the more I looked the more I liked it. Toronto caught some huge breaks at the end. Should have kept it as a"possible pick".




Pick #3 Texas Rangers


               Texas looks good. Top 5 everything in batting; 3rd in runs, 2nd BA, 5th on base and 2nd in slug %.  The A's are 21st in runs, 24th ba, 20th on base and 24th in slugging %. Also Texas has a slightly better pitcher with Matt hardison. Who posts a 3.06 ERA, is 10-8 with 89 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.25. vs. the A's pitcher, Rich Harden (4.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 3-2, 45 strikeouts).


Pick #4 St. Louis Cardinals-

         St Louis is 31-27 at home, 4th in runs, 3rd in their batting average, 3rd on base and 5th in slugging%. Colorado is 28-34 on the road, 12th in ba, 8th in runs, 7th on base and 11th slugging percentage. St. Louis will be starting Esmil Rogers on the mound. Even with his 6-1 record, he has an ironically bad ERA. He posts a 5.85 ERA, 32 strikeouts and a 1.73 WHIP. St Louis will be starting Edwin Jackson, who is less than spectacular as well. Posting a 4.07 ERA, 8-8 record, 109 strikeouts, 1.45 WHIP. Two pretty high-base giving pitchers. look for a high scoring affair. I think the Cardinals will pull this out though, with the slight batting and pitching advantage.


I will have more in a couple hours. Sorry such a late post
