Jake's Picks - May 26th

Record: 80-84 -7.11 Units
2 Unit Plays: 5-3

KC/Toronto Over 8 -115
Pitchers: Tomko/Marcum

Toronto is finally hitting and Tomko likes to give up some runs. Marcum has pitched outstanding this season but KC should get some runs off of him here. He isn't this good of a pitcher and this is the second time the Royals have seen him. KC's bullpen is kinda iffy as well.

Arizona/Atlanta Under 7.5 -115
Pitchers: Webb/Jurrjens

Arizona can't hit on the road and Jurrjens has been even better than I thought he would be. Webb is a stud who has dominated the Braves the last two years. If the bullpens don't screw it up, this one should sail under.

NY Yankees -137
NYY/Baltimore Over 9.5 +100
Pitchers: Rasner/Olson

Even though Rasner will eventually fall back, he's dealing right now and the Orioles haven't hit right-handers all year. Even with an average start, the Yankees probably will come out of this with the win. Olson simply isn't MLB ready at this point and got crushed by the Yankees last time. With ARod in the lineup, NYY will put up a ton of runs here.

I bet it is beautiful in Boise today!!


Best of luck

Cleveland Indians +100
Pitchers: Byrd/Vazquez

Vazquez has had issues pitching in Cleveland before and the White Sox can't hit either. Byrd deserved alot better when he faced the White Sox earlier this year. This line should be at least -120 with home field considered.

Texas Rangers +178
Pitchers: Ponson/Kazmir

I can't really believe I'm backing Ponson here but the fact of the matter is that he's pitched really well this season and can go deep into games. He's had success pitching in Tampa before as well. Kazmir is a great pitcher but Texas is on fire offensively and hits lefties really well. This one is definitely worth a shot. Tampa's bullpen could blow it too.

Good luck Jake; stay out from under that brisdge.

It's a little cloudy but at like 70 degrees and the perfect temperature for me. Sun should come out soon. I'm gonna get in the pool and do some laps before too long.

Good luck today!

I'm tryin... I can't believe it's this far into the season and I'm still in the negative. It's only temporary though. Good luck today Mack.

Seattle Mariners -103
Pitchers: Colon/Felix

Boston doesn't hit nearly as well on the road and King Felix has pitched excellent at home. The Mariners hit decently in Seattle and Colon is simply not that good of a pitcher anymore.
