    Norway's Daily MLB Picks
    - 1 unit = $10
    - 2-4 picks each day


    # Marlins -140, 14 units
    The Nats have never been a good road team and this season is no different. The Nats have posted an 8-18 mark on the road against .500+ teams, and are just 11-22 overall in their last 33 games. Balester will make his Major League debut tonight for the Nats, but his numbers at AAA aren't outstanding. He has pitched to a 4 ERA and allowed 14 HR'S in just 78 innings.
    Hendrickson havn't been good either with a 6.75 ERA in his L3 and a 5.93 ERA overall, but in his last start earlier this season @ Nats he gave up only 1 ER in 7 innings where the Marlins won 4-3. Also it looks like the Marlins have started hitting again and I think they gonna give Hendrickson enough run support.
    My guess: 7-5 Marlins

    # Cubs +110, 9 units
    Both pitchers had a rough time their last starts. Marquis gave up 7 runs in 4 innings while Cain gave up 4 runs in 5 innings.
    I got a feeling that Marquis will bounche back while Cain won't.
    On the road Marquis got a 3.51 ERA with 1.46 ERA in 41 innings where he's given up only 3 HR's. Against the Giants Marquis got a 3-0 record with a 2.56 ERA, all of them on the road. Cain got a 4.47 ERA with 1.41 WHIP and given up 7 HR's in 50.1 innings at home. Against the Cubs Cain got a 1-1 record with a 5.73 ERA.
    The Cubs won 9-2 yesterday and might turn the road problems around against a weak Giants team.
    My guess: 8-5 Cubs

    # Cardinals -132, 13.2 units
    Armas will probably get the call up from Triple-A for a fill-in start on Tuesday. In AAA he got a 5-6 record with a 2.50 ERA. Against the Cardinals Armas got a 3-2 record with a 3.98 ERA in nine meetings, seven of those being starts.
    He's facing Wellemeyer who comes form a strong comback after his recent injury, throwing a shutout in 5 innings @Tigers where he gave up only 4 hits, walked non and K'd 3. In his L9 Wellemeyer hasn't given up more than 3 runs in 8 of them, in his last game before the injury he gave up 8 in 3.1 innings vs Phillies. Among those 8 he got 5 with 1 or 0 -ER's. In his only start vs the Mets he gave up only 1 run in 6 innings in a 5-3 Cards win (06/26/07).
    The Cardinals are out-hitting the Mets .292 with 6.75 R/9 against .239 with 4.05 R/9 in their L10.
    The Cardinals got a 3 game win streak and are looking for a 4th with a 20-7 record in the 2nd game of a series this season against a Mets team who loses two in a row before a win in their L7 games.
    My guess: 6-3 Cardinals

    # Astros -127, 12.7 units
    A weak Dodgers team with Kershaw and his command problems against a Astros team that comes from a series win agains the Sox and with Rodriguez on the mound who got a 1.89 ERA at home. The Dodgers are 5-13 in their last 18 road games while the Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
    Also the Astros are out-hitting the Dodgers vs lefities with a .271 batting avg with 5.66 R/9 against Dodgers .223 batting avg with only 1.33 R/9 in their L10.
    The Dodgers are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Houston and 0-4 in their last 4 meetings.
    With Furcal, Pierre, Carciaparra, Abreu, Bennett and now maby Kemp they are way to weak to beat a Astros theam that is a better home team than the record shows.
    My guess: 5-1 Astros

    Also got a few score in 1st inning leans
    that I won't play:
    TOR@SEA +100, Yes
    PHI@ATL -115, Yes
    OAK@LAA +120, Yes

    GL to all

    I like all four of these plays a lot. I am on the Astros and Cardinals for my big bets tonight. Good Luck tonight.

        I fear the Mets with Armas. If Wellemeyer has a bad night, then Armas can go 4-2 against the Cards. It might be advisable to let that one pass.
        As for the Cubs pick, it is also heartwarming that the Giants' home record is worse than their road record.
        As for the Astros, it won't hurt to pick the RL. This Dodgers team can't be beaten by less than 2 runs.
        Marlins is sure.
