MLB: July 7th 2012 Picks


Recommended Posts

53-50 +0.33 units (51.45%) Sucked yesterday, both my picks were winning and they both blew it Pirates -118 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes Pretty much a must win against the Giants today. They need to win the series before going into the All-star break to keep the heat turned up. Mcdonald has another chance to prove why he was snubbed White Sox -139 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes This team is red hot right now.

Re: MLB: July 7th 2012 Picks 2-3 (-0.96) Twins @ Rangers. -I'll be backing the visitor today as I feel they have great value. D. Holland (TX) hasn't had the best history and is coming off the DL, the best thing about Holland is that he's been giving up HR and the Twins have been hitting alot of them lately - 13 HR the last week. Deduno (MN) has been very good at the AAA level and brings three good pitches to this game. Remeber that the Rangers haven't seen Deduno yet, which gives him the advantage. One thing to make note of in this game; the total is set at 10.5 with the juice to the over, that tells me that the bookies are expecting runs...that tells me Twins backers have a punchers chance. Twins (+1.70) 1.00 to win 1.70. Good Luck!

Re: MLB: July 7th 2012 Picks Boston -1.5 (Game 1) @ 2.45 pinnacle Morales is 1-1, with a 2.51 ERA as he went 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in three June starts, and allowed 2 runs or less in each of them. Garcia is 2-2, with a 5.94 ERA as he allowed 2 runs both off home runs and 5 hits in the 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. However he has gone 9-4 with a 4.76 ERA against Boston and allowed 5 runs on 7 hits in the 15-9 road win over them in April. The Red Sox have hit him well and he does have a very high 12.46 ERA when pitching during the day, so like Boston here to even up in this series Pittsburgh -1.5 @ 2.79 pinnacle McDonald is 8-3, with a 2.45 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 6 of his last 10 starts (total of 19 runs) including 5 of his last 6 home starts (total of 8 runs). He has won 6 of his last 7 7 starts as he has had some run support, with the Pirates scoring at least 4 runs in each of these wins. He has gone 1-3 with a 3.97 ERA in 4 starts against SF as he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits in the 5-0 road loss to them in April this year. Not only has he a 1.73 ERA at home (compared to 3.54 ERA on the road), he also has a 1.96 ERA when pitching during the day. Vogelsong is 7-3, with a 2.26 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts, as the Giants have scored 4+ runs in only 4 of his 10 games, even though they have managed to win 9 of his last 10 starts. He is 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA in 3 starts against Pittsburgh as he allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in the 4-1 home loss to them in April this year. Vogelsong does have a 3.45 ERA on the road compared to a 1.43 ERA at home and like the Pirates here to even up this series with some hitting to support the pitching Record: 98-161 (-23.99)

Re: MLB: July 7th 2012 Picks

Boston -1.5 (Game 1) @ 2.45 :(
Pittsburgh -1.5 @ 2.79 Adding: Philly - Atlanta over 9.5 @ 2.18 pinnacle Blanton is 7-7, with a 4.85 ERA and after allowing 5+ runs in 6 of 7 starts, he has pitched better with just 3 runs allowed in his last two starts. The Phillies have scored 6+ runs for him in 4 of his last 5 starts so he has had some run support in winning these 4 games despite giving up quite a few runs himself. While he has gone 2-4 with a 4.65 ERA against Atlanta, he did allow just 3 hits in a shut out 4-0 road win over them in May. Hanson is 9-5, with a 3.70 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in his last 3 starts. He did give up 4 runs in his last road start after allowing just 2 runs or less in his previous four road starts, and he too has been given some good run support in his starts. Hanson allowed 4 runs on 8 hits in the 15-13 home win over them in May. This game could go either way but like the fact that both pitchers have been getting some run support so like this to go over Record: 98-162 (-24.99)

Re: MLB: July 7th 2012 Picks

Pittsburgh -1.5 @ 2.79 :)
Philly - Atlanta over 9.5 @ 2.18 Adding: LA Angels -1.5 @ 2.29 pinnacle Weaver is 9-1, with a 2.13 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts (total of 16 runs) and has been very good at home, going 13-2 with a 1.55 ERA in 21 home starts over the last two seasons. He has won all 5 starts at home this year with a very low 0.70 ERA, allowing a total of 3 runs in these starts. Weaver has faced Baltimore twice this year, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits in the 6-3 home win over them in April and then two weeks ago, allowing 1 run on 6 hits in the 13-1 road win over them. He is opposed by Hammel who is 8-4, with a 3.43 ERA and as he has allowed 4+ runs in 6 of his last 10 starts including his last two starts as well as 3 of his last 5 road games. Cincinnati -1.5 @ 2.60 pinnacle Bailey is 6-6, with a 4.24 ERA has had his problems at home where he has a 5.86 ERA but on the road, with a 2.96 ERA, he has allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of his last 5 road starts (allowing just 7 runs in total). He has benefited from some very good run support as the Reds have scored 4+ runs in his last 9 starts as well as his last 4 road starts which he has won. Bailey is 3-0 with a 3.48 ERA in five starts against San Diego and like him to do well again here. Richard is 6-8, with a 3.64 ERA as he has allowed two runs or less in 7 of his last 10 starts, but the concern for him is that he has given up 11 runs in his last two home starts against Seattle and San Francisco, and Cincinnati hits much better than these two teams. He has gone 0-1 with a 5.57 ERA against the Reds and like them to do enough here to win the game Record: 99-162 (-23.20)
