Default Re: MLB: May 8th picks

TEXAS RANGERS
AT
SEATTLE MARINERS



- Make a wish..
- Hımmm, I wish a homerun!
- Sorry, Felix Hernandez will have the ball tonight. Make another wish!

Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers will meet at Safeco Field
in the last game of their series while game's total is
sitting 8½.

Texas Rangers will have Kason Gabbard as Starting pitcher in
this game. Gabbard has a 1-0 record and a 2.18 ERA this
season. Don't let these stats mislead you because he's
listed 57th in Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings with 4.1
NPERA!

On the other side, starting this game for the Mariners will
be Felix Hernandez. The righthander has a 3.04 ERA to go
along with a 2-2 record this season. He is listed 26th in
Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings and he's a very decent
pitcher..

Seattle lost straight two games against Texas so I'm
expecting hosts to be more motivated than visitors..

Trends

Texas is 4-9 in its last 13 games on the road!
Seattle is 11-4 in its last 15 games when playing at home
against Texas!
Seattle is 6-3 in its last 9 games when playing Texas!

Rangers are 2-8 in their last 10 games against a "starter"
with a WHIP greater than 1.30!
Mariners are 5-1 in Hernandez's last 6 starts when their
opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game.
Mariners are 8-2 in Hernandezs last 10 starts against a team
with a losing record.

I'm expecting hosts to win tonight! Just pick Mariners and enjoy the game..

MILWAUKEE BREWERS vs FLORIDA MARLINS



I like fish, do you?


I love Marlins! I love Marlins! Wow, this team really rocks at Dolphin Stadium! Not to mention, great rotation and bullpen support either..

Florida bats are hot at the moment with scoring 5.4 runs per game in last 5 games played. On the other side Milwaukee bats are cold as ice with only 2.8 runs per game, in last 5 games played!

Marlins are on a 4-game winning streak at the moment and I'm expecting hosts to extend their winning streak to 5!

Starting this game for the Marlins will be Mark Hendrickson! The lefthander has a 3.71 ERA so far with a 5-1 record this season.

Brewers will counter Hendrickson with Carlos Villanueva! Righthander Villanueva is 1-3 this season with a 5.56 ERA. Ouch!

Trends

Milwaukee is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing Florida
Milwaukee is 2-9 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against Florida
Milwaukee is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road
Milwaukee is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games
Florida is 9-2 SU in its last 11 games when playing at home against Milwaukee
Florida is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Milwaukee
Florida is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home
Florida is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games

Let's Go Marlins!

Just pick Marlins and let's make some money..

BOSTON RED SOX vs DETROIT TIGERS



What a beautiful park, isn't it?

A GOOD REASON TO BACK VISITORS: J. VERLANDER!

Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers will meet at Comerica Park tonight and according to odds we can say that bookmakers are expecting a competitive game tonight. However, I don't agree with bookies. 1,85 for visitors is definetely too much!

Red Sox bats are very hot at the moment! Red Sox are scoring 7.8 runs per game when we look at Boston's last 5 games. On the other side, Detroit is playing with 4 runs per game in last 5 games played.

A good reason to back Boston!

Detroit Tigers will give the ball to Justin Verlander in this contest. Righthander Verlander is 1-5 (!) with a 6.28 ERA. Verlander is listed 35th in Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings with 4.27 NPERA. Isn't it a good reason to back Boston tonight?

On the other side, Red Sox will give the ball to ace starter Josh Beckett! Righthander Beckett is 3-2 this season with a 2.55 NPERA! Watch out, I'm not taling about ERA here, it's Normalized Predicted Era. Ace righthander is 7th in JS Pitcher Rankings!

About Records

Boston 22-14 SU
Detroit 15-20 SU

About Trends

Boston is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
Boston is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Detroit
Boston is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Detroit
Boston is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games on the road
Detroit is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against Boston
Detroit is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing Boston
Detroit is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home
Detroit is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games

Beckett is a great pitcher and I'm expecting righthander to stay long in the game. Detroit batters will have a very hard time tonight!

Just pick Boston and enjoy the game!
