BJ's MLB Picks

I'm back! I know that I have been pretty scattered when it comes to putting up MLB picks, but would you rather have me put out picks every day and go 55%, or every once in a while and go 69%? For the time being, you are going to have to live with only getting a few picks per week; a minor annoyance if you ask me. Nothing like listening to some vegan talk about how much of an unhealthy dick you are, or some crossfit "athlete" tell you how pointless it is that you go to the gym to lift and do cardio instead of crossfit. God I hate those people. As a matter of fact, I'd rather listen to a group of old white guys talk baseball for 3 straight hours while eating Cracker Jacks, than hang out with some crossfit douchebucket that can't stop talking about how intense and competitive he is. Listen dude, your back doesn't hurt because, "that's what crossfit feels like." It hurts because you're improperly lifting the fuckin weights.You're not "sore", your body is just permanently damaged, congratulations and enjoy being injured for the rest of your life. Back to an actual sport....

Tampa Bay (+1.5) at Baltimore (Postponed)
Evan Longoria
The Rays got a little too much love early on this year. People had them penciled into the World Series and they are kind of looking like a wild card team. No worries, they play in a decent division and have plenty of talent and one of the best managers in the game.

Washington Nationals (-184) at Miami (L)
This one is for the Catz. He wanted Natties -1.5 and I said no. Only because they have been wildly inconsistent this year and the Marlins have been able to keep games close somehow. I recommend taking the ML here and throwing it in a parlay. Take the -1.5 if you just want to go solo.

Seattle Mariners (+1.5) at Texas (L)
The Mariners are a decent offensive team this year. Now, Blake Beavan is not a guy that is going to instill a lot of confidence in most folks, but Texas is really banged up. Roll with the Smoak machine and see what happens.

St. Louis (+1.5) at Milwaukee (WINNER!)
 The Brew Crew has been great this year, but I think all that is going to slow down as we get into the meat of the season. The Cardinals will start to rise to the occasion and today should be a solid 6-5 win for one of these teams.

Oakland (+1.5) at LA Angels (WINNER!)
The Angels don't have pitching, Hamilton is out and the A's love to surprise the shit out of people.

LA Dodgers at San Francisco (-103) (WINNER!)
The FREAK! I always back the Gigantes whenever Lincecum pitches, so this is an easy one. The Dodgers have done a great job of helping us out here at Dirty Picks, by sucking every time we pick against them. I expect more of the same tonight and a Freak Fest well into the 8th inning.

Colorado (+1.5) at San Diego (WINNER!)
The Rockies have a 0 point differential, the Padres are -8, comprende?

Free Baseball Picks!

Just because I made a ton of NBA picks today, doesn't mean I'm going to stay away from the MLB! After a few days off, observing the game, bathing in stats and watching Robinson Cano's swing, I'm back with more non-sensical baseball picks:

Miami (+1.5) at Philadelphia (WINNER!)
The Marlins have not completely sucked this year! The Phillies are garbage though, so let's keep swimming with the Marlins, even though they are terrible on the road.

Toronto (+1.5) at Baltimore (WINNER!)
I think Baltimore has dominated every time I have bet against them. Feel comfortable taking the Jays though, they haven't been bad this year and at least keep things competitive as they've gotten off to a mediocre start.

Washington (+1.5) at Atlanta (L)
Bryce HarperWhy are the Natties so bad this year? I mean, they're not BAD, but they're not looking like a team capable of winning the Cup...or trophy... or whatever the fuck baseball's championship is. Bryce Baseball (the bro version of Mike Trout) is struggling to be a solid baseball player and the only man in his sport with some personality. Maybe he'll line some changers oppo tonight to change my tone (I don't even know what that means).

LA Dodgers (-122) at Arizona (WINNER!)
Everybody is talking about Puig and how much of an asshole he is, but who cares? He's not JR Smith or Desean Jackson! Let the man show up late to meetings and practice! It's not like they do anything anyways! Greinke is on the mound tonight, so the Dodgers should be fine.

Oakland at Seattle (+1.5) (L)
I'm not about to trust Ramirez on the mound yet, but I do trust that some Smoak bombs will be dropped in Seatown today. Go with the underrated M's again.
