October 3rd pick result:
Detroit Tigers- Won 5-4
Blog record for month- 3-2
Glad to see Detroit pull out a win tonight at home. Tomorrow seems pretty dead again. Streakmaster has been slacking more than usual. Anyway, there are a couple of games I feel decent about.
Possible Pick- Gateshead: Win
I know this is a little late notice, but with Wrexham out with some key players (5 of them to be exact), I think Gateshead has a good shot at home against Wrexham. Included in Wrexham's 5 starters out are; their starting goalie Chris Maxwell and leading scorer Jake Speight.
Pick #1 Philadelphia Phillies
Cole Hamels is the main reason for this pick. Traditionally, he has done very well agaist the St. Louis Cardinals despite his 5-0 loss back on September 18th. This season he has posted a 2.70 ERA, 194 strikeouts, 0.99 whip with his 14-9 record. With that said, Jaime Garcia has been pretty hot lately. In September he was 3-0 and averaged a 2.64 ERA. Overall this season he has put up a 3.56 ERA, 1.32 whip, 156 strikeouts and a record of 13-7. This should be pretty close. I'll take the Phillies, but not with a ton of confidence. Just enough to take the risk.
Confidence rating: 60% Phillies 60% ------------><-------- Cardinals 40%
Pick #2 LA Galaxy: Leading at halftime or tie
My only concern is if LA decides to sit a lot of key players. With a secure playoff spot and not a lot to play for, this may be a trap. I'll have to see the linups first, but if most of thier starters see action in the first half, this may still be a good pick.
Confidence Rating 65% Galaxy 65% ------------><-------- Red Bulls 35%
More to come tomorrow...

October 3rd Picks
Sorry such a late post today. I was trying to find something worth putting up and I only see one game I think I will risk my moderate W3 on. Before I go into that pick though, here are my results/comments on the first couple days into the month.
October 1st pick results
#15 Baylor- lost 36-35
#3 Alabama- Won 38-10
October 2nd pick results
Buffalo Bills- lost 23-20
Washington Redskins- Won 17-10
Overall blog record this month 2-2
Off to a bit of a rough start after both Baylor and Buffalo gave up significant 2nd half leads. Both games were unfortunate loses. Alabama looked good against Florida by romping on them by much more than favored. The Redskins looked good as well after a 17-10 win. Yesterday I also went with Baltimore as a last-minute pick to finish my day and it payed off as they dominated the Jets 34-17.
Here is a game I like so far...
Pick #1 Detroit Tigers
Sabathia (3.00 ERA, 19-8 record, 1.23 whip, 230 strikeouts) has been a very good pitcher this season for the Yankees, but its hard for me to go against the Detroit Tiger's Verlander. Verlander has really dominated this year, posting a 2.40 ERA, 250 strikeouts, 0.92 whip along with his 24-5 record. Sabathia has struggled a bit in his last 4 starts by going 0-4 and generating a 7.56 ERA. Verlander has been pretty decent against New York, going 4-3 posting a 3.97 ERA against a very good batting team.
Both teams have had a lot of success this season batting. It will be interesting to see how two great batting teams do against two great pitchers. I think Detroit takes this in a close one.
Sorry this post is so plain today. I will get another post up tonight around 10 or 11 o'clock central time. I will have more than one pick tonight. Today I just got a late start.
