Wednesday MLB Playoffs: We're backing the Cardinals today. Carpenter has been absolutely dealing in his last handful of starts AND all of the big Cards hitters smoke Gallardo. The Brewcrew are a different team on the road so we're going to make an exception today. We hate laying -152 as it's just not the way to win long term but that's where the value is today.

Headed to DL: The Angels had been waiting all season for OF Vernon Wells to heat up. The power hitting OF banged out 3 dingers this week and showed signs of coming out of his dreadful slump when the unthinkable happened; He's gone down with a strained groin. Tough break.

Monday MLB Picks: Braves at -106 and Mariners at +146. - 4/4

Trade: The Nationals have sent speedy OF Nyjer Morgan to the Brewers in exchange for Cutter Dykstra. In case you're wondering, YES, that is Lenny's kid. - 3/28

You Probably Could Have Done Better! The Cubbies have released P Carlos Silva after he posted an ugly 10.90 ERA during spring training. He had given up a whopping 32 hits in 17.1 innings. - 3/28

Phils Still Unclear on All Star 2B: Don't take this guy too high in your fantasy baseball drafts. It's looking like he's setting a goal of the all star break for a return. It wouldn't surprise us if he missed the whole season. - 3/28

He'll be Closing: The Texas Rangers announced today that P Neftali Feliz will be their closer. The team has toyed with the idea of having the 22 year old hurler starting, but have decided that he's best suited coming out of the pen for now. - 3/24

Hanging'em Up: One of baseball's best setup men is calling it a career. Long time Angels reliever Scot Shields has retired. He leaves the game with a very respectable 3.18 ERA. - 3/18

Mets Dump 2B: The NYM have released 2B Luis Castillo. He'll be replaced by either Brad Emaus or Luis Hernandez. - 3/18

Injured Brewer: Newly acquired SP Zack Greinke will miss his first 3 starts of the season with a fractured rib that he sustained while playing basketball. - 3/8

Gardenhire Speaks: The Twins Manager has decided that Tsuyoshi Nishioka will play 2nd base this season. The decision means that Casilla will play shortstop. - 3/7

Welcome Back: Braves 3B Chipper Jones got his first time on the field in quite some time. His knee is still healing up and he's expected to play about 135-140 games this season if he can stay healthy. Love him or hate him, Chipper Jones is good for MLB. - 3/3

Hanging Them Up: P Andy Pettitte called it quits today. While many are questioning if he'll be a Hall of Fame candidate, I think we can all agree that he'll go down as one of the most effective post-season pitchers to ever play the game. - 2/4

Short Stay: C Mike Napoli was only a member of the Blue Jays for 4 days. Now he's been traded to the Rangers for P Frank Francisco. Napoli should put up pretty good numbers in Texas. Speaking of the Rangers, the word on the street is that they're no longer interested in Vlad Guerrero. - 1/26

Staying a Little Longer: The Astros have extended the contract of SP Wandy Rodriguez for 3 years. The Reds have extended SP Johnny Cueto for 4 years. - 1/26

Smart Move: The KC Royals have given slugger Billy Butler a 4 year extension. Great move by team brass as Butler is a superb hitter who is just going to keep getting better and better. - 1/23

Manny Signs: Despite many thinking that Man-Ram would sign up the Rangers, he's verbally agreed to sign with the Tampa Bay Rays. We knew that Florida was a big retirement destination, but the Rays are reinforcing our thoughts as they've signed aging slugger Johnny Damon as well. - 1/23

Blockbuster Trade: The Angels have sent C Mike Napoli and DH Juan Rivera north of the border (Toronto) in exchange for OF Vernon Wells. A change of scenery may be just what the Dr. ordered for Wells, who should have good success in California. - 1/23

Rangers Interested in Slugger: Texas is eyeballing DH Manny Ramirez. He's surely aging but would still hit a ton in that ballpark. - 1/21

Signings: The NYY have signed OF/DH Andrew Jones to a one year deal. He'll serve as a 4th outfielder/DH. The NYM have signed P Chris Young. - 1/20

Yankees Bolster Bullpen: The NYY have signed former Rays CL Rafael Soriano to a 3 year deal. He will serve as the setup man for Mariano Rivera. He's got nasty stuff and will surely be the AL leader in holds should he stay healthy. - 1/14

One of MLB's "Good Guys" Staying Put: Despite speculation that Twins DH Jim Thome might be headed to the Rangers (or elsewhere), he has in fact re-signed with the Minnesota Twins for another year. - 1/14

Top Closer Hangs'em Up: Long-time closer Trevor Hoffman has announced that he's retiring. - 1/11

Signings: The Atlanta Braves have signed 2B Dan Uggla to a 5 year contract extension. As expected, the Washington Nationals signed 1B Adam LaRoche to a 2 year deal. - 1/4

Speculation: Talk is heating up about where some of the bigger free agents still available may end up. The Rangers are said to be close to signing Adrian Beltre, the Nats are said to be close to signing 1B Adam LaRoche and the Reds are said to like OF Fred Lewis. - 1/3

Sad News: Baseball lost one of it's all-time greats today as Bob Feller passed away at age 92. He came along long before many of us were even a thought, however, those that saw him pitch say he was one of the greatest to ever take the hill. Rest in peace Bob. - 12/15

Stalemate: The NYY have reportedly offered SS Derek Jeter a 3 year deal worth approx. 15 million a year. Jeter's camp is asking for a 5 year deal worth over 20 mill a season. It's unlikely, but one has to wonder if there's a possibility that Jeter may be lacing them up for another team. - 11/29

WTF? The LA Dodgers have signed SS Jose Uribe to a 3 year deal worth over 7 mill per season. Dude only hit .248 last season. Not a real bright deal by Dodger brass. - 11/29

Thursday MLB: Take the Texas Rangers at -160. - 8/19

Wednesday MLB Prediction: Take the Oakland A's at -130 to beat Toronto! - 8/18

Tuesday MLB Play: Take the OVER 9 runs in the Brewers/Cardinals game. Both starting pitchers are VERY suspect in recent starts and we're anticipating 12 runs being scored in this game. - 8/17

Monday Pick: Take the Baltimore Orioles at -130. Bergesen has been dealing as of late only allowing 4 earned runs over his last 23 innings. The Orioles seemed to have a renewed interest in winning since Showalter took over. Mariners P Fister is a decent pitcher but has really struggled on the road, as have the M's winning only 17 times away from Safeco while dropping 40. Great value with the O's tonight at -130! - 8/16

Mets Closer Injured: NYM closer Francisco Rodriguez reportedly has a torn thumb ligament that will require surgery and end his 2010 season. - 8/16

Sunday MLB: Passing. - 8/15

Saturday Picks: Today's play is the San Diego Padres at -115. I'm really surprised that they're not favored by more as there's quite a few really strong reasons to take them today. For starters, Mat Latos is absolutely on fire allowing only 6 earned runs in his last 50.2 IP. He excels in day games. His daytime stats? 1.70 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and opposing hitters are only hitting .155 in the daylight against him. Furthermore, the guy apparently loves pitching at AT&T Park as his early appearance there this year resulted in a ONE HITTER! On the flip side of the coin, Giants starter Bumgarner has been in a bit of a decline lately and he pitches worse at home than he does on the road. His home numbers are a mediocre 4.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and he allows a .274 avg. to opposing hitters. I also like the fact that his day-game numbers are much worse than his night-time starts. The Padres have won 5 games in a row while the Giants are 4-6 in their last 10. As with any game, any team can win on any given day, but this play looks as solid as any. Good luck! - 8/14

Friday MLB Play: It's a mystery to us why the Angels are favored tonight. This is a horrible matchup for Angels SP Scott Kazmir. The Jays are loaded with big bats and Kazmir has absolute stunk at home this year as evidenced by his home ERA of 7.28, WHIP of 1.62 and opposing hitters drilling him for a .303 average. In case your wondering, his 5 inning 13 earned run performance a couple starts ago was a road game and don't even factor into these poor numbers. Great value tonight with Toronto at +112. - 8/13

Trade Announcement: The SF Giants have acquired power-hitting cannon-armed Jose Guillen from the KC Royals for cash and a player to be named later. This is an odd move as OF Pat Burrell is hitting really well right now. - 8/13

Thursday MLB Pick: Take the Baltimore Orioles at +119 tonight. Believe it or not, Baltimore is heating up. They've won 4 in a row but that isn't the reason for this play. Indians starter Gomez might have some nice numbers in his 3 starts, but it's all been via "dumb luck". This kid isn't a good pitcher. Wrong team favored. - 8/12

Wednesday Prediction: Take the Orioles/Indians to go UNDER 9 runs. Both pitchers are hitting very well and both offenses are questionable. - 8/11

Tuesday Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays at +103 to beat the Detroit Tigers. - 8/10

Monday Play: Seattle Mariners at -103. -8/9

Sunday Betting Prediction: Seattle Mariners at -145. - 8/8

Thursday Play: Texas Rangers at +106 - 8/5

Sad News: Braves SP Kris Medlen was having a good year. He's been diagnosed with a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm. It's very likely that the injury will require Tommy John surgery ending his season and probably half fo the 2011 season as well. In other injury news, Red Sox 1B Kevin Youkalis will miss the rest of the 2010 season with a torn muscle in his right thumb. - 8/5
