Jake's Picks - MLB Tuesday May 22nd

JakeT. · May 22, 2007

No luck yesterday as Arroyo screwed me royally.

Record: 115-120
Profit: -.96

Florida Marlins +125
Pitchers: Olsen/Hamels

Olsen is one of the better pitchers and is getting in his groove. Hamels is no slouch but I think the Marlins have the better opportunity for offense in their home park.

St Louis Cardinals -127
Pitchers: Wainwright/Duke

Chicago Cubs +155
Pitchers: Hill/Peavy

Hill should throw a gem. Peavy may as well, but at +155 this is a no brainer.

Minnesota Twins -1.5 -120
Pitchers: Johan/Loe

Not Saying You`re Wrong

Just remember Johan not the pitcher of his Cy Young yrs.

and your basing this on one month into the season? His 3.26 ERA 1.12 WHIP and 67 k's in 58 innings are signs of him regressing? Had the Twins not been struggling and his record being something like 5-1 instead of 4-4 i highly doubt you say that. The man is still great, people are just holding him to a much higher standard. By years end i wouldnt doubt hes back below 3.0 ERA as usual.
