Not a lot I like tomorrow. I will try to find some picks the best I can
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

August 22nd Picks
Hey all,
Tonight is going to be a pretty plain post as well. I figured I could at least put something up. I will have my picks for tonight but no overview. I hope you had a good weekend and had a good week picking.
August 20th pick results-
Aston Villa- Won 3-1
Mexico- Won 3-1
Phillies- Won 5-0
Braves- Won 8-1
Brazil- Won 3-2
Record for day 5-0
Record for the month 32-4
I think tomorrow I will have this blog back to normal. I was just taking this weekend off. Tonight I will just do what I did for Saturdays picks and just simply give you some leads...
The Potential Picks-
Orebro-
Detroit- I didn't see this one at first. With Verlander pitching this should be a pretty solid pick
Atlanta-
Sorry this blog has been so plain the last couple days. Thanks for your patience. I should have this thing back to full potential tomorrow

August 20th picks/lookback on day
August 19th results
Wolfsburg Result- loss 4-1
Texas Ranger Result- Won 7-4
1-1 for the day
27-4 overall
If you look up the word fail in the dictionary, you will find the word Wolfsburg somewhere in the definition. I'm sorry, I should have known better than to make this a pick. I said from the beginning I didn't feel to good about this pick. I let the hype get to me. I should have put it as a possible pick. If it makes you feel any better (which I don't expect it to) a lot of people lost their streaks to this game as well. Great game to put up for SM. Moving on anyway...
No writeups on picks tonight. Definately the least colorful post by far. Here are some I will be looking at though. Whatever I pick, win or lose, I will add to my pick record. I hope this gives you guys a decent lead/idea on some picks

Off Tomorrow, No picks for Sunday. Picks for tomorrow will be up tonight
Hey all. Thank you for the support you have shown over the last week and a half. Over 13,000 blog views isnt that bad for such a short period of time. I will be taking tomorrow and Sunday off to take a break and spend some time with some friends and family. I will post some picks for tomorrow (8/20) but I wont be back till Monday. In the last week and a half this blog has gone 26-3 added a good amount of followers and consistent support. Good luck this weekend.
Thank you for your support,

August 19th Picks/lookback on day
August 18th pick results
D.C. United- Won (draw 1-1)
Record for day- 1-0
Overall- 26-3
Surprised D.C. struggled so much. At one point I was actually pulling for them to lose to see the leaderboard go down. It was a win-win to me.
Tomorrow I have 2 or 3 picks. It seems like SM is really trying to throw some tougher picks lately. These are the best I could find. I may stay away today.
The Picks...
Pick #1 Wolfsburg
This pick didn't seem increadibly good to me at first. Borussia beat Bayern, who beat Wolfsburg. However, after doing a bit of research on this game, Borussia has a couple key players out and there are a lot of decent streaks being risked on this game. Also a fact, no game between these teams have ever ended without a goal. I think a draw is probably the most likely scenario.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Lucien Favre will have to do without the services of first-choice striker Igor de Camargo and defender Martin Stranzl who have picked up injuries. Roel Brouwers is serving a suspension after picking up a red card in last weekend's game against Stuttgart, and is set to miss the match on Friday.
Wolfsburg
Felix Magath will have a nearly full squad on hand, with only long-term absentees Arne Friedrich and Thomas Kahlenberg, as well as the dropped Diego, unavailable from his first-team squad. Ja-Cheol Koo is also injured after picking a knock in the match against Bayern Munich last Saturday and will join new signing Thomas Hitzlsperger on the sidelines
Pick #2 Texas Rangers-
I really hate picking Texas 4 of the last 5 days, but so far last night was my most concerned day to pick them. The Rangers (72-52, 33-29 away) will travel tomorrow to face the White Socks (61-61, 27-34 home). The Rangers have looked pretty well on the road, the White Socks havn't looked to great at home. Texas will start Matt Harrison (3.19 ERA, 10-8, 95 strikeouts, 1.27 WHIP) on the mound, who has looked pretty well this season. Chicago will start Jake Peavy (4.69 ERA, 5-5, 69 strikeouts, 1.23 WHIP). The Rangers recently became #1 in batting average in the MLB surpassing Boston. Next to that, they rank 3rd in runs, 4th on base and 2nd in slugging %. The White Socks are pretty average in batting, ranking 19th in runs, 15th batting average, 13th on base and 19th in slugging %. This isn't a lock but it is a decent pick.
More soon... stay tuned
