The Picks...


Pick #1 Milwaukee-

     I like Milwaukee mainly because of their pretty good batting and because of the fact that Pittsburg is starting a pretty rough pitcher in Ross Ohlendorf. Ohlendorf has posting a 7.27 ERA, only 6 strikeouts an a 1.85 WHIP in his little playing time he as recieved this year. The Brewer's Marco Estrada hasn't looked increadibly hot this season either (4.28 ERA), but he has helped the Brewers defeat the Pirates 3 times this year. Milwaukee will have a pretty good team batting tonight (top 10 in everything except on base where they rank 11th). The Pirates have pretty low batting compared to the rest of the league. 25th or lower in every batting category. The Pirates have done better at home than on the road, so right now thats the only catch I see (besides this being SFTC and crazy stuff happens everyday).

Pick #2 San Francisco Giants-


        The difference in this game is going to come down to the Cain and the Giants bullpen. Look for a defensive game. Both teams batting is pretty poor for the most part. One thing to note though is the Giants bullpen is apparently pretty thin from what I have heard. But if Cain gets hot and stays in most of the game, the Giants should have this. Even with low batting they have been able to win games.


Possible pick- Karlsruher SC II


       I am just going to take a leap of faith and put this on the line. Its not like you have a lot of time anyway before the month is over. You have to just start making picks the best you can. Not a very well-known league, but I think I have enough to go Karlsruher. Last time the two teams played it ended in a 2-2 draw. However that was on the road for Karlsruher. This time they will be at home. They have looked pretty decent overall this year, both at home and on the road. Memmingen has looked pretty bad both ways on the road and at home. In fact they have scored 1 goal in their last 7 league matches. Karlsruher has scored 17 in their last 7. This will either end a win for Karlsruher or a draw. I just don't see Memmingen winning this.

Possible pick #2 Wisla Krakow?- Ok, well I'm really not sure about this one now. All Wisla has to do is score and they advance. Even if they lose by 50. Which, as you know, is very common in soccer to win or lose by 50 or more. Pick at your own risk. I think this is a pretty close pick... Just some free info on a game you may or may not be interested in.

More soon. This just to keep you busy
