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.

Weekend MLB Picks

Chicago White Sox (+1.5) at Kansas City Royals  (WINNER!)
To me, it's crazy that the Royals are actually starting to be favored in games. I just thought they had cool unis and a nice stadium to make up for the fact that they sucked for the last decade. I guess they have finally made something of their talent and even though the Sox are sitting players today, they should still keep it close.


Philadelphia (-122) at Chicago Cubs (WINNER!)
I remember when the Philly's brought together the nastiest starting rotation in existence a few years ago. Now look at them. Cliff Lee is no longer the most feared name on the mound, but he still has some tricks up his sleeve. Add in Philly's hot bats and the Cubs being cursed by Lord Voldemort and we have ourselves a blow out!


Seattle (-126) at Oakland Athletics  (WINNER!)
The home plate ump screwed Seattle two nights ago and the A's grounds crew screwed them last night! Time for King Felix to get up in Billy Beane's asshole and show him that money always wins over talent!

Atlanta at Washington (-154) (L)
Steven Strasburg is a beast and Bryce Harper is hilarious/the Johnny Football of baseball. In fact, I'll be calling him Bryce Baseball from now on.

St. Louis (+1.5) at Pittsburgh (WINNER!)
I have no idea what happened to the Spurs of baseball last night. They got hammered. Today should be different unless the Pitt has opened up some sort of baseball wormhole I didn't hear about.

San Diego at Miami (-152) (WINNER!)
Miami has been Seattle South for me this year! Ol' reliable! Not sure how, seeing as they suck.


Texas at Tampa Bay (-190) (WINNER!)
One day, Texas is going to explode for 25 runs. Hopefully, its' not today, not on D. Price.

LA Angels (-157) at Houston Blastros  (WINNER!)
Josh Hamilton had a great game last night and didn't even have to go to rehab afterwards! That's class and that is why I'm gong with the Angels! .....seriously though, I'm going with the Angels because Mike Trout is already the MVP.

Milwaukee at Boston  (-205) (L)
Milwaukee ain't hittin shit over that big ass wall!
