Big Rod's Thursday Picks

[bigrod82]

Well took a loss with the White Sox with my first posted play of the season. Lookin' to get some W's tonight.


Tigers +139 1 unit

Both teams send their ace to the mound tonight, when Justin Verlander faces C.C. Sabathia. The Indians just finished sweeping the Tigers in Detroit last week, so I expect the Tigers to be primed to bounce back and with their best pitcher on the mound this is too good of a price to pass up.

Orioles +1.5 -107 1 unit

Kelvim Escobar has been one of the best pitchers in the American league so far this season and does have good career numbers vs. the O's, however Baltimore is riding a 5 game winning streak and have a chance to get back to .500 with a victory tonight. Brian Burress has been pitching fairly well for the Orioles and will have the advantage of never facing this Angels lineup before.

Cardinals +157 1 unit

Thompson has pitched okay for the Cards, and he pitched 6 innings giving up only on run earlier this season vs the Rockies. Cook is not a very good pitcher IMO, and he has weak career numbers vs. the Cards, so I think this line is kind of high.

Good Luck everybody with your plays!
