September 6th "Possible pick" results
China- loss 2-1
Texas- Won 8-0
Record for day 1-1
Overall record for month 8-3
I have to say, this has been one of the driest months I have played in a while on SFTC. Streakmaster has put up some pretty difficult props. I havn't even put up a single sure pick in the last couple of days and I have yet to risk my measly W4 on anything. I may be taking such a low streak to seriously, but there has just been nothing I have felt very good about. I havn't made a pick in 2 days! I really missed out on Texas yesterday though. I told myself I would pick them no matter what, but got cold feet within the last 30 minutes before the game.
Also I just have to apologize for how little I have been able to put into this blog the last few days. This blog hasn't looked near as it did at the start of last month. Work has really picked up and I have had so little time to squeeze in writeups. I am going to try to work out a schedule to where I can make posts at a consistant hour of the day.
Moving on to the picks...
Another day of iffy picks. Here is what I have so far.
Possible Pick #1 San Francisco Giants
Cain (2.85 ERA, 11-9, 157 strikeouts, 1.07 whip) is a good pitcher. Plain and simple. However he has struggled a bit against the Padres (1-2 against them this season). The Padres just look horrible right now though, I cant really find a great reason to pick them. They will be starting Aaron Harang (3.86 ERA, 12-5, 109 so, 1.41 whip) today against the Giants, who struggled against the Giants last time he played. Both pitchers have struggled to get wins in each of their last 10 games (Cain 4-6 , and Harang 5-5). Both teams are horrible at batting ranking near the bottom of the MLB. So why do the Giants have the advantage? Their bullpen and the fact that they have been hitting like a team ranked in the top 20th for batting. Pretty weak I know, but when you look at how much the Padres have been struggling lately, and how slightly improved the Giants have been, San Francisco is to me the best choice. I just have no reason to go with the Padres in this one (not to mention their 29-42 home record).
Possible pick #2 No run scored in the 3rd
More to come and I pan on getting this site back to where it was a month ago. I have just not had as much free time
