MLB: May 16th picks

[blackcrow]

Detroit -1.5 @ 2.47 pinnacle Scherzer is 6-0, with a 3.20 ERA as he allowed 2 runs in the 10-5 win over Toronto last Monday. He is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA against Toronto, while at home, he is 3-0 with a very low 0.96 ERA in 4 starts there. While Toronto have been hitting well, the current form is hard to ignore and like him to contain Bautista. Drabek is 2-2, with a 4.81 ERA and is 0-2 with a high 8.31 ERA, as he allowed 4 runs in the 7-6 win over Boston. He has had problems with walking batters, allowing at least 3 walks in th 7 of his 8 starts, and with a Detroit side that is hitting well, they could be able to get some extra runs here. Philly -1.5 @ 2.28 pinnacle Lee is 2-3, with a 3.78 ERA as he allowed 3 runs in the 5-3 win over Florida, and will like his chances fo doing well against St Louis where he has won both his starts against them with a low 1.20 ERA to go with it. He is opposed by Westbrook who is 2-3, with a high 6.92 ERA, as he allowed 5 runs in the 11-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs last Wednesday. At home he is 1-2 with an even higher 8.24 ERA and did allow 4 runs in the 7-6 win over Philly. Doubt that the Cardinals can hit Lee here while the Phillies are more likely to hit Westbrook. Chicago Cubs @ 2.30 pinnacle Zambrano is 4-1, with a 4.35 ERA and though he is coming off allowing 4 runs on 8 hits in the 6-4 loss to St Louis, like him to pitch better in this road start, where he has a 2.43 ERA in winning his last 10 road games, and has a 0.75 ERA in winning his last 5 starts in Cincinnati. He likes pitching to the Reds where he is 7-1 with a 1.56 ERA in his last 8 starts against them. Bailey is 2-0, with a low 0.69 ERA, as he allowed 1 run in the 10-4 win over Houston, and then followed this up with allowing 5 hits in the 7-3 win over them again. But the Cubs hit much better than the Astros and can see him getting hit, as he is 1-2 with a 7.65 ERA in 4 starts against them, where he has allowed 29 hits and 13 walks in these 4 starts. Florida -1.5 @ 2.11 pinnacle Johnson is 3-1, with a low 1.63 ERA as he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits in the 6-3 loss to St Louis. He followed that up with 1 run on 6 hits in the 2-1 win over the Phillies. Like his chances of doing well here, as he is 8-1 with a 2.73 ERA in 13 starts vs the Mets, as he allowed 2 runs in the 6-2 win over them last month. Pelfrey is 3-3, with a much higher 5.74 ERA but has pitched well in allowing 5 runs in winning his last 2 starts. However he has struggled against Florida, going 0-7 with a 5.78 ERA in his last 12 starts against them, and allowed 5 runs in the loss to them last month when opposing Johnson. With Florida hitting well, like them to give Johnson some run support here LA Angels @ 2.23 pinnacle Pineiro is 2-0, with a 1.33 ERA as he has allowed just 3 runs and 15 hits in his 3 starts this season. He allowed 2 runs in the 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday and went 1-0 with a 1.57 ERA in 3 starts against Oakland last year. Like him to contain an Oakland batting line up that has scored 3 runs or less in 8 of their last 11 games. Anderson is 2-3, with a 3.21 ERA and allowed 4 runs on 6 hits and 4 walks in the 7-2 loss to Texas. Now he faces another good batting side where he has gone 0-2 with a 4.68 ERA in 4 starts vs the Los Angeles Angels. Can see them scoring some runs on him here. May picks: 22-45 (-17.32) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
