Jake's Picks - MLB Wednesday May 16th

JakeT. · May 16, 2007

Record: 107-110
Profit: -.78

Washington Nationals +130
Pitchers: Speigner/Davies

Speigner puts too many guys on, but I don't see the Braves hitting well enough to amount that to runs.

Florida Marlins +105
Pitchers: Olsen/Duke

Olsen has a ton of talent and should do well against the Pirates, who don't hit anyone.

Cincinnati/SD Under 6.5 +105

SD can't hit at home. Cincy can't hit in SD. No one can hit Peavy or Arroyo in this matchup.

Detroit +110
Detroit/Boston Over 11 -110
Pitchers: Maroth/Tavarez

Both pitchers stink, but Tavarez is worse and Boston doesn't hit lefties that great.

Toronto -1.5 +125
Pitchers: Burres/Burnett

As bad as the Jays have hit, they still have enough bats to kill a pitcher like Burres. Burnett should do well.

Kansas City +190
Pitchers: Perez/Blanton

Oakland's offense is the great equalizer and should keep KC in this game.

JakeT. · May 17, 2007

4-1 +4.3

Record: 111-111
Profit: +3.52

Hopefully I haven't been the only one on some of these the last few days. I post em for people to make money, but after that bad start, I just hope a few stuck with me.

not a great reason for you to post plays. i've wished you luck on plays before and all that good stuff, said when i've been on the same side at times, but the tout in you is starting to come out again, the same guy at the beginning of the season that said you were going to be the best baseball capper on here. i'm not even saying that you aren't the best on here either, you've done well in the past from what i hear.

I wish you all the success in the world, just wish you'd lose the tout-itude.

Definitely not going tout. Some people say I'm too boisterous but I just call it confident...

I'm a good capper and I post plays for folks to win money. I know it looks like I'm searching for pats on the back sometimes, but I'm just trying to convince people to play along with me so they can make money.

I definitely see where you are coming from though.
