Picks of the Day

Total: 199.95 Units

Chicago Cubs @ Philadelphia Phillies UNDER 8.5 runs
Bet 1.50 Units to win 1.30 Units

Having a lefty-heavy lineup like the Phillies do works great; until you face a dominant lefty like Rich Hill. Hamels hasn't been super sharp lately, but I think he can keep it respectable; and I don't think Rich Hill is giving up much more that 2 runs anyways.

Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 over Houston Astros
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.30 Units

The Astros' bats are starting to heat up a bit, but Brandon Webb should be able to cool them down.

San Fransisco Giants over Colorado Rockies MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win .88 Units

Super-prospect Tim Lincecum gets the chance to go against a lineup that isn't full of big bruising lefties. I'll definitely put my money on him over Josh Fogg tonight.

San Diego Padres -1.5 over St. Louis Cardinals
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit

Jake Peavy has been lights out all year, and while I never trust the Padres bats to get him support, he's still worth dropping a unit on in just about every game he pitches.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays over Toronto Blue Jays MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.17 Units

The Blue Jays have lost 9 straight and are clearly struggling. I don't think Scott Kazmir is the right guy to break a slump against. Toronto's bad luck continues in this one.

Minnesota Twins -1.5 over Detroit Tigers
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit

Johan Santana VS. Mike Maroth... Santana hasn't been lights out this year per usual, but I think he can muster up a win out of this matchup.

Good luck!
