Re: MLB: May 25th Picks Pittsburgh -1.5 @ 2.97 pinnacle McDonald is 3-3, with a 5.51 ERA but is 3-1 with a 2.51 ERA in his last 5 starts as he allowed 1 run in the 5-3 win over Cincinnati. In these 5 starts he has allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of these games, so he is keeping his team in the game. He will face Minor how comes for hsi first start since early last month where he allowed 5 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in the 5-4 loss to Milwaukee. With neither team in good form with the bat, the Pirates are more likely to hit Minor, so like them to even this series up. Detroit -1.5 @ 2.47 pinnacle Penny is 4-4, with a 4.45 ERA but has won 3 of his last 4 starts and though he allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in the 10-1 loss at Pittsburgh, he had allowed only a total of 5 runs in his previous 3 games. Now he returns home where he is 3-1 with a low 1.61 ERA in 5 home starts, so he likes pitching at home. Sonnanstine is 0-1, with a 4.21 ERA as he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in the 5-3 loss to Florida. He has had problems in staying in games, as he had yet to pitch past 5 innings this month, so like Detroit to chase him here and record a sweep in this series. Seattle -1.5 @ 2.56 pinnacle Bedard is 2-4, with a 3.94 ERA but is 2-0 with a low 1.33 ERA in his last 4 starts as he did not allow a run in the 4-1 win at San Diego. Duensing is 2-4, with a 4.98 ERA but has a 7.50 ERA in losing his last 4 starts and allowed 5 runs in the 8-7 loss at Arizona. With neither offence doing well, Duesing is more likely to give up some runs based on his current form. Seattle have won 7 of their last 8 games so they are playing with confidence while Minnesota have lost 13 of their last 17 games, so they are in a slump. May picks: 25-62 (-28.53) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
