MLB Opening Week

SEA (-113) @ TEX
The Mariners RUINED the Rangers last night as Ol' Rob Cano and dem boyz put up a 10 spot on the lowly Texas bullpen. Tonight the bats will stay hot against an extremely shaky Colby Lewis.

HOU @ NYY (UNDER 7)
Tow bad ass pitchers to start this one means a real lack of runs. The Yanks will be lucky to put up 2 runs today. Take the under and hope the Blastros keep their bats subdued.

WAS (-1.5) @ ATL
The Nats have big Stras on the mound today and though he hasn't turned into the greatest pitcher ever as anticipated, you can count on his big ass to go 6 or 7 innings today and keep the runs low while Bryce Harper swags his way to 3 RBI.

Saturday MLB Picks!

Saturday Night Baseball Locks

Pittsburg Pirates @ Washington “Natty Ice” Nationals

Pick: Washington -1.5 (+160)

Former Detroit Tigers’ ace, Max Scherzer, is on the mound for the Natty Ice tonight.  Scherzer might not be the league’s top pitcher this year but he’s still one of the best.  Washington’s roster is way too good to be a measly 2 games above .500.  I expect the Natty’s to put the hurt on the Pirates tonight in our nation’s capital.

Los Angeles Angels @ Oakland Athletics

Pick: Los Angeles SU (+123)

The Angels are 7-4 in their last 11 games including a 12 run offensive outburst last night that gave them a win in the first game of this series.  Both starting pitchers are having mediocre seasons so I don’t see either team having the upper hand in that regard.  This game should come down to hitting which means the Angels should win.

OVER/UNDER: OVER 10 (-125)

Milwaukee Brewers @ Colorado Rockies

Pick: Milwaukee SU (+121)

The Rockies have 1 win in their last 10 outings and are riding a 5 game losing streak.  Since I like to think baseball teams are always trending one way or another, either winning a lot or losing a lot, I’m picking for the Rockies to keep losing.  Look for Milwaukee to “brew” up somethin’ nasty tonight while Colorado continues on their “rocky” path.

St. Louis Cardinals @ Philadelphia Phillies

Pick: St. Louis -1.5 (+105)

The Phillies are 1-10 in their last 11 and they’re taking on the best team in baseball right now.  With John Lackey on the mound for the Cards, the Phillies are going to have a tough time getting on base.  Look for St. Louis to stomp out the Phillies and make you some easy money.

New York Mets @ Atlanta Braves

Pick: Atlanta SU (EVEN)

The Braves have been trading wins and loses for about 2 weeks now.  They won yesterday in a tight, 2-1, game.  Perez (3-0) has the start for the Braves tonight and there’s no reason to plan on this being his first loss.  The Braves win games by playing good solid baseball.  What does that mean?  I have no idea but it sounds nice.  

Detroit Tigers @ New York Yankees

Pick: Detroit SU (+120)

The biggest cheater in professional sports, Alex Rodriguez, got his “3,000th” hit last night in the form of a home run.  Why is this guy still allowed to play in your sport baseball fans?  Grow some balls and quit letting cheaters take over your game.  Anyways, the Tigers are 34-33 right now; 1 game away from being .500.  This roster is way too good to be .500.  Even a non Detroit fan can admit that.  With a .500 record coming at them like Verlander’s fastball in 2007, I expect this roster to respond.  Look for Miggy to go yard 15 times and show everyone that the Tigers are still a team people should watch out for.

OVER/UNDER: OVER 8.5 (-105)

Wednesday Night Baseball Picks

MLB Picks: June 17th

Baltimore @ Philadelphia

Pick: Baltimore -1.5 

The Orioles have out scored the Phillies 23-3 over the past 2 games.  The numbers are pretty strong for Baltimore here.  Their bats are hitting everything thrown at them right now.  The spread is the obvious choice here.  

Miami @ NY Yankees

Pick: Miami (+190)

When I look at the results of last night’s game (Miami won 12-2), it seems obvious that Miami will win tonight.  Then again, this is baseball and it’s the only sport where a team can lose by 10 and come back and beat the same team the next night.  I’m rolling with Giancarlo Stanton and the Miami Marlins tho.

Boston @ Atlanta

Pick: Atlanta (-121)

The Red Sox are 1-7 in their last 8.  They split the first two games of this series in Boston and will play in Atlanta for the next 2 days.  I don’t know what’s going on in the Red Sox Clubhouse but apparently winning games is on the back burner right now.  The Braves are the pick here.

Houston @ Colorado

Pick: Houston (-132)

Colorado has one win in their last 7 and head into tonight with 2 straight losses down in Houston.  They’re back in Colorado but that probably won’t help them tonight.  Houston has emerged as one of the best teams in baseball this season.  I expect them to win tonight and tomorrow, completing the sweep.

San Francisco @ Seattle

Pick: San Francisco +1.5 (-190)

It’s tough to top Baumgarner vs King Felix when it comes to big names going head to head in baseball.  I expect a low scoring game and for the Giants to at least cover.

Milwaukee @ Kansas City

Pick: Kansas City -1.5 (+155)

KC is coming off 2 straight wins in Milwaukee preceding tonight’s game.  The Royals may have made a laughing stock of the MLB Allstar Game but, that doesn’t mean they don’t win a shit load of games.  They dominated on the road, there’s no reason to think they won’t do the same at home.

MLB Opening Day

Opening Day!

It's opening day for all you retirees, morbidly obese, and weird uncles. Yeah today marks the day that all other sports fans die a little inside as we hit the lowpoint in all of the athletic seasons. The good news is, we have gambling to make things interesting. While baseball has promised to "speed up" the game this year we all know it really doesn't matter. Is baseball the most loathed "sport" here at Dirty Picks? Yeah, probably. But in all fairness, it's not that bad! Hell you get to sit outside, drink overpriced beer and hot dogs all day! While your fat ass is increasing your caloric intake beyond anything the human body is capable of, catch some rayz and get a tan! Lord knows you haven't been outside in weeks! Today, I would reccomend loading up on bets! Put in at least 15 and just ride it out, we'll do our best to stay involved in baseball this year, but I can't promise anything. Here is our Opening Day slate:

NYY U8
TOR +1.5
DET -1.5
COL +1.5
BOS -115
PIT +1.5
LAD -1.5
SEA -1.5
OAK -1.5

MLB Pick/Parlay

BJ's MLB, Fuck Betting on the World Cup SOOOOOOOOOPER PLAY!

BOS at SEA (-140) (UNDER 6)
This is a no brainer. Felix Hernandez is on the mound for the semi-lukewarm Mariners and they are playing in Seattle. Now be weary of the parlay here. Felix is known to pitch 9 shutout innings for a no decision before a Seattle reliever inevitably gives up a home run for a 1-0 Mariner's loss. I just have a feeling that tonight, Cano will be clutch against his old rivals and lead the Mariner's to a nice 3-1 victory. 6 runs, come on, the Mariner's aren't capable of that kind of offense.

MLB Picks

Back on the baseball train! Is anyone even watching baseball right now?!! The World Cup is about to start, the NHL and NBA playoffs are starting AND it's pool season! I honestly don't give a fuck about these picks or baseball right now, but Sugar, Catz and I are having a pick off so I need to throw some feces against the garage as they say. While you're here, check out our World Cup Draft. It is actually interesting and not baseball.

Seattle (+1.5) at BATlanta  (UNDER 7) (WINNERx2)
Kuma don't play, so expect the M's to keep this low scoring and win or lose 2-1.

Philadelphia at Washington (-180) (UNDER 6.5) (WINNER!) (L)
Strasburg might be a bit of an enigma right now, but I still believe in him. Philly is the crossfit capital of America so don't expect them to have the strength to hit home runs or go a whole game without being injured. Fucktards.
