    Working on my Monday picks

    With only 7 games today, but a few 3 game series starting, I started thinking about my picks for this week yesterday.

    I am too late for Boston already.
    The one obvious pick for today is OAK-NYY with NYY as a money line pick

    Now lets look at 5 other possible picks...
    ATL-WAS
    On one hand, ATL are favorite in pitching department, and also WAS are 1-11. However, baseball is very mathematical game, and WAS may be overdue for a few wins. Will they sweep the series? Probably not. However, I think I should bet on them only if I want to chase the 3 game series.
    COL-ARI
    The only thing that interests me in this game is a pitchers mismatch in terms of runs and record, but at a closer look, its not that big. However, I got a trial version of baseball predicting software, and it says that COL will win. I think so too, but the software is 1-5 in the past 3 days.
    FLA-PIT
    FLA is 11-1 and are probably overdue for a couple of losses. I wouldn't give an significant edge to anyone in pitching dept. The only reason to bet on this today is to chase a 3 game series. Another possible bet on this game is an OVER bet.
    SD-PHI
    Not interested in ML bet. Maybe an OVER bet?
    CIN-HOU
    Last game of the series, not interested one bit.

    This leaves us with 4 possible bets:
    ATL-WAS ATL Chase 1.73
    FLA-PIT FLA Chase 1.85 or Over 9 1.91
    COL-ARI COL??? 2.06
    SD-PHI Over 10 ???

    This leaves us with 4 possible choices.
    1. ATL-WAS ATL Chase 1.73
    2. FLA-PIT FLA Chase 1.85
    3. FLA-PIT Over 9 1.91
    4. COL-ARI COL 2.06

    I would like to pick 2 more. But after looking at all of them, I want to make all 4

    Your opinions

    Looked at it a little more, and I am strongly leaning towards picks 1 and 4.

    Maybe, but I just don't know if I like future pitcher matchups
