Well yesterday was a great day as far as my picks are concerned. I was 2-0 on both of my picks and went 17-2 in my last 19 on the weekly contest. I had won 15 in a row on there to move into first place so pretty happy with that. Chicago game when under really easily and what I like was the game just flew. The other game, I started to get a little worried because it was only a 2-0 lead for most of the game and Houston just was not putting up runs. Thanks to Berkman thats all the offense Oswalt needed as he had no problem with their offense. I also had some small wagers on Tampa rl and Philadelphia so ended up be a very profitable day for me. That was one of the best days I have had in a long while. Lets see if we can repeat today.
San Francisco Giants +126 over the Washington Nationals
The Nationals will bring Strausburg to the mound today and will see if they can provide him with some run support to get another win. I am not sure how long he will stay on this pitch count that he is on, but as long as he is and is playing a quality team with a good pitcher, I will go against him. He pitched ok in his last outing against the Mets and got a no decesion in 5 innings and gave up 2 runs. He was streched from the start giving up 37 pitches in the first inning. Washingtons offense has been good lately though even though not for him, but will try to change that today against Matt Cain. Cain hasn't been himself in the last few games though and not sure what is wrong with him. He is 0-3 with a 6.85 era in that time frame. He has been great against the Nationals in his career though going 4-0 with a 1.67 era so I feel this is the game that will get him out of his slump. The big reason why I am on the Giants today because they have really started to hit as of late. They scored 36 runs against the Brewers in the last series. This was led by Aubrey Huff who has homered in 5 times in 6 games and is on fire.
Los Angeles Angels -120 over the Oakland A's
To be quite honest with you, I started to take the under here. Both offense's have been stumbling. The A's only had 4 runs and 16 hits in the entire series vs the Yankees. That is 1 game numbers for some teams. The angels were not much better in Chicago. While watching they game yesterday it seem they were not patient and swinging at the first and second pitch almost every at bat. Hopefully getting back on the west coast will stop some of that. They will put J. Pinero on the mound who has been wonderful. He is 9-6 with a 3.96 era and shut out the royals in his last start going 7 strong. He has pitched against Oakland on may 21, and he he allowed 4 hits and shut them out. Mazzaro should be good also. He is 4-2 with a 3.81 era and pitched well against the Angels in his other start against them I feel the lineups favor the Angels here and the pitching matchup leans that way. Should be low scoring so the under should be good here too.
Good luck today guys lets keep rolling
