Jake's Picks - MLB April 2nd

JakeT. · Apr 2, 2008

Record: 2-7 -6.15 Units

Not getting any luck at all. Bad beat central yesterday. Time to turn it around today.

Milwaukee Brewers +150
Pitchers: Suppan/Lilly

Brewers crush lefties and made it rough on Lilly last season. Suppan had success against the Cubbies three separate times last season and doesn't look to be different from the guy he was then.

Toronto/NYY Over 9 +100
Pitchers: Burnett/Mussina

Burnett has a busted fingernail that didn't even let him throw a curve until a week ago. Mussina is as hittable as ever. Toronto has some bullpen questions. This one just screams out, "TAKE THE OVER!".

MORE ON THE WAY.

Texas Rangers +125
Pitchers: Jennings/Silva

Silva hasn't looked good in the spring while Jennings has been very impressive. Jason Jennings has lost a little on his fastball but Seattle's offense has alot of holes and I think this is a 50/50 game we are getting at +125.

Cincinnati Reds -110
2 Unit Play
Pitchers: Haren/Arroyo

Love this one. The Haren fading begins today. Haren is the most overrated pitcher in baseball and pitching in a stadium that is not at all good for what he can do. Arroyo knows how to pitch in Cincy and the Arizona lineup is very poor. He should do extremely well and the Reds will win this one.

Atlanta Braves -127
Atlanta/Pittsburgh Over 8.5 -105
Pitchers: Gorzellany/Jurrjens

Gorzellany had a horrible spring and is dealing with some soreness that is just not allowing him to pitch well. The Braves should hit him hard. Jurrjens had some rough spring starts but should give up a few runs as well here.

moose seemed shot last year and has had a weak pre-season. was suprised to see him starting today. moose + yanks bats = over. although if i remeber correctly burnett pitched the yankees well last year so maybe this is sucker play. but ill take a shot anyway.
will also tail reds, like the analysis.

best of luck, hope you turn it around
