Tuesdays Baseball Picks

[Tinfish]

3-3 on posted plays last nite for a loss of -$65

running total of +$260

tuesdays picks are:

Colorado -105

Gotta go with the League's leading run producers and the 3rd ranked batting team in the Majors hitting .288 vs the Leagues worst batting team in the Expose at .216, and who average just 2.1 runs per game......The Expose also is 0-8 on the year in Game 1 of a series.....They are also 2-6 in Vargas last 8 starts...The Expose are last in the league with HR's with just 14, while the Rockies are #1 in the Majors in HR's with 38......Colorado also hitting a solid .295 vs RHP to the Expose .232 vs RHP.....Colorado sends a struggling pitcher to the hill, but I feel that this Colorado Offense should be able to support him and make up more than what the Expose Offense will produce.....


Texas -1.5 +150

Gotta go with the Hottest team in the League, even with that Korean Kream Puff, who has made me money fading him, taking the mound......Still, I cannot deny the fact that their sticks are on fire, and they are currently leading all teams in the league in hitting average at .312....Tampa is 1-4 in Zambrano's last 5 starts.....Texas also killing RHP this year hitting them at an average of .318, whereas TB is only averaging just .232 vs RHP's this year.....TB cannot match up with the Rangers Fire Power and that is why I like the RL in this one, as I see Texas winning by multiple runs today...Gotta continue to ride this Texas Train, until they derail...


Chicago Cubs -149

Zona is 0-3 in Sparks last 3 starts, as well as just 2-6 on the road this year.....The Cubs are on a bit of a roll as they have posted a solid 7-3 record in their last 10.....The Cubs also is hitting .306 vs RHP at home this year.....I think Sparks will get lit up today,......and Mitre will have a solid outing at home, supported by this Cub Offense...


Philly -110

Love the Philly's in this setup today.....St Louis just 2-6 in Carpenter's last 8 starts.....The Philly's have been owning the Cards of late going 9-3 in the last 12 between the two... In the last 10 games Philly hitting RHP at .272 average, whereas in the Cards last 10 vs RHP's they have been struggling a bit averaging just .233 against them......I think today the Phillys have an opportunity to catch this Cardinal squad off of another dissapointing outting at home vs the Cubs, where they were spanked for multiple runs in the later innings....Philly has the advantage also with a better bullpen...I like Philly to continue their dominance over the Cards.


Milw +118

Going to go against this Cincy squad who possibly shot their wad at Houston last night....Today, they will be without Griffey who went out in last nights game with an injury.....Milw may be able to also catch this Cincy squad who may be a bit tired after playing in Houston last night....Milw is 9-1 in their last 10 outtings vs Cincy....They are also 7-3 in Santos last 10 starts....Cincy, on the other hand, is just 2-8 in Haynes last 10 starts....The Brewers look like a team ready to pounce on this wounded and tired Cincy squad today....

I like Cubs -1½ +135 . I figure if the Cubs are gonna win, they'll probably win big. Also like Giants +112...well, because the Mets are the Mets.
