Today’s free pick from SportsBettingInformation.net is a road underdog.  Randy Johnson is trying to slow down father time tonight as he faces the Oakland A’s.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Giants                        +105                                    at A’s

Johnson does not have what he once does, but he can pitch well for  5 or 6 innings and against certain teams.  In his last start against the A’s he went 7 innings and only gave up 4 hits and 2 ER.  He’s 14-9 lifetime against the A’s but I don’t consider that a worthy stat to consider since he is just a shell of hisself in his prime.  The key to this game is that the Giants are facing Gio Gonzalez, a lefhander who just isn’t a very good Major League pitcher.  He does get some strikeouts, but his contol kills him.  7 walks in 8 innings this year and 32 walks in 43 innings in his Big League career.  He ERA is over 7 this year and career also.  Unless he comes up with the game of his life, the Giants should score enough to take care of Randy.  Take the Giants +105.

Nice +130 win yesterday with the A’s and today we are heading to Arizona for an over/under pick.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Rangers                Under 9   +103                  at Dbacks

Today’s matchup puts Matt Harrison for the Rangers against Max Scherzer for the Dbacks.  Harrison is going to be pitching in his 2nd game since coming of the 15 day DL.  He pitched pretty well in his first game back going 5 innings and giving up 6 hits and 3 ER’s.  He should be able to get back into the form he was in previous to his injury, where he won 3 games in  a row between May 3rd and May 14th, giving up only 2 ER in 15 innings.

Max Scherzer for the Dbacks is a very tough pitcher.  He’s only given up 2 ER in his last 19 innings and aside from a horrible game against the Braves about 3 weeks ago, he has a 2.42 ERA in his other 5 starts in the last month.

I’d be suprised if either team can muster up 5 runs, let alone both getting there to go over 9.  Take the Under 9 in this one at Pinnacle and get +103 right now.

It’s a light schedule in the Big Leagues today, but there is definitely a game we like today.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Pick                           Line                 Opponent

at A’s                  (-1.5) +140             Giants

The A’s are starting Jonathan Sanchez today.  This is probably his last shot before getting replaced in the rotation and I don’t see anything changing from his previous starts.  He’s given up 27 hits in his last 18 innings.  He’s also given up 15 ER during that same time and has an 0-3 record.  He faces Trevor Cahill, who has been very tough for the last month.  He consistently gives up less than 3 runs per start (6 of his last 6 have been 3 runs or less) and pitches excellent at home.  Look for the A’s to get to the lefthander Sanchez and knock him out of the Giants starting rotation.  I like the A’s in a one sided game in this one.

Take the A’s -1.5 runs for +140.  You can find the +140 at several different sportsbooks right now
