Dh mlb - 4/7
Week 1 in the books. I went 9-8 +3.48 units.
Picks for April 7, 2011
Houston Astros @ Cincinnati Reds (12:35 PM ET)
Rolling with the Astros and the only bright spot in their rotation, believing they'll get in the win column today. My only concern is that Lyon could blow it again for Myers. Lecure gave up 5 HRs in 30 IP as a starter last year with a less than spectacular 20/16 K:BB ratio. Seems like a small tag to lay on the hottest offense, but I think Myers should have enough success for the Astros to dig deep in the later innings.
Pick: Houston Astros +133 (5Dimes)
Risk 1 unit to win 1.33 units
Florida Marlins @ Washington Nationals (7:05 PM ET)
These are two divisional foes that are well acclimated. At least one team reached 5 runs over half the time in this match up last year. I'm mostly looking for Lannan and Washington to implode on the mound once again leaving Josh off the hook for the final 2-3 innings. It's hard to say he isn't overvalued right now... the Over is 7-2-1 in Johnson's last 10 starts vs. Washington.
Pick: Over 7½ Total Runs +110 (5Dimes)
Risk 1 unit to win 1.1 units
