07/20/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

6 wins in a row on our free picks!  We’re going back to the Cubs on this one and looking for a road underdog win today.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Cubs                            +104                                 at Phillies

The Cubs have Soriano back and they are poised to make a run at the pennant.  They may be one offensive bat away from taking the division.  Today they throw Ted Lilly against Rodrigo Lopez.  Lilly has been strong this year and in his recent games.  He’s only given up 3 free passes and has 20 strikeouts in his last 3 starts covering 21 innings.  The Phillies sticks are strong, but I think Lilly can keep them in check today.  Lopez is making his first start since coming out of his last game with shoulder problems.  His 4.78 career ERA is a pretty good indicator that he’s not a top notch pitcher and most likely his days are numbered in the starting rotation, as Pedro Martinez will surely take his spot in the rotation.  With the pressure to perform high and the shoulder issue looming, it could be a short outing for Lopez with Soriano and Lee looking to do some early damage.  Take the Cubs +104 in this one.

No free pick yesterday from us, although we were really close to going with the Cubs for the 3rd straight pick and would have won.  None the less, we’ve won 5 straight games with our free picks and for those that are keeping track we are at 56% for the year and +1,167%

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Phillies                       -110                                 at Marlins

Today it’s J.A. Happ vs Andrew Miller.  The Phillies have won 7 straight and 9 out of 10.  Happ is an amazing 6-0 on the year and has an ERA of 2.90.  His ERA is an even better 2.57 in his last 3 outings.  Florida is going to throw a bunch of right handed hitters at the lefthander Happ today and Happ’s ERA against right handed hitters is even better than against lefties, at 2.31 for the year.  Miller gives up a lot of hits.  In 5 of his last 6 starts he’s given up more hits than innings pitched.  Add walks onto that and you have a pitcher giving up too many baserunners to win in the Big Leagues.  Look for the Phillies to stay hot behind Happ and take them -110 at Pinnacle.

07/17/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

Well friends, that’s four in a row now from SportsBettingInformation.net .   And as much as it scares me with their offense,  I’m going to go with back to back Cubby picks.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Cubs                            -128                                 at Nationals

It’s Zambrano vs. Craig Stammen.  Zambrano is doing the same thing he does every year, but the Cubs bats have let him down a few times this year.  His 3.53 season ERA is right there with his career ERA of 3.48, so you pretty much know what you are going to get out of him when he pitches.  Stammen on the other hand is a crap shoot.  He’s been in professional baseball since 2005 and hit the Majors this year for the first time.  He never had a complete game,in the minor leagues, but got one in the last game that he pitched in before the All-Star break.  He had a 1.80 ERA this year in AAA, but his ERA in AAA last year was 7.33.  So which Stammen is going to show up against the Cubs today?  Not knowing the answer to that, I’ll take my chances with Zambrano’s consistancy vs. the unknown quality of Stammen.  Sure the Nationals could win, but I think the chances are much better that Stammen falters a little bit and the Cubs take this one home again.  Take the Cubs -128.

07/16/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

Bad time for the All-Star break for us since we were on a 3 game  +321 heater going into the break.  We’ll just continue that streak today as if there was no break though…

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Cubs                            -118                                 at Nationals

It’s back to action with an afternoon matchup between Rich Harden for the Cubs and John Lannan for the Nationals.  Harden was horrible heading into the break and we think the little rest can do nothing but good for him.  He has great stuff, but is only 1-5 since sitting out a few weeks for a back injury after starting the season 4-1.  I went against him 6 days ago and got an easy win, but the long rest is going to get him back on track.  Lannan is a pretty decent pitcher but doesn’t seem to get too many breaks (that might have to do with the team he plays for) and walks too many batters.

I think this is going to be a good game but Soriano and Lee are going to be too much for Lannan to handle 3 or 4 times each.  Take the Cubs -118.

07/12/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

Back to back wins on our free picks coming off of our vacation.  We are fired up and ready for another…

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Dodgers                     +121                                 at Brewers

In a battle between 2 nice pitchers Clayton Kershaw goes up against Yovani Gallardo.  Both pitchers are capable of and probably will throw up a bunch of goose eggs during this one.  The edge has to go to the Dodgers in offense though and the Brewers have been struggling lately.  The lefty Kershaw should be able to keep Fielder in check and lead the Dodgers to a victory in this one.  Take the Dodgers +121 in a well pitched game.

07/11/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

Nice easy win yesterday coming off of our vacation.  If they were all like that, a vacation wouldn’t be needed!

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

at Arizona                -123                                    Marlins

Tonight’s game features a matchup of not very good pitchers.  The Marlins throw Sean West while the D-Backs throw John Garland.  The difference in this one should be the bats… and the D-Backs bats have been hot.  Except for a meltdown 2 days ago when the D-Backs blew a 7-0 lead, the D-Backs have been playing well and hitting well.  They are In the last week they are 6-1 (the one loss being the meltdown) and have scored 11, 4, 6, 4, 6, 7, and 8 runs.  I don’t see West slowing the D-Backs down tonight in Arizona.  Take the D-Backs -123.

07/10/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

We are back from our little vacation and ready to help you win some money.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Cardinals                   -107                     at            Cubs

Today’s match-up features Chris Carpenter vs Rich Harden.  Harden has been just awful recently and something seems wrong with him.  A career 3.45 ERA, he’s at 6.28 in his last 3 games and 5.35 for the season.  Also, his career hits to innings pitched ratio is .81 hits per inning, while this season it is it’s over 1.  Chris Carpenter on the other hand is coming off a 7 inning, 1 ER performance.  He’s 8-3 with a 2l.93 ERA lifetime against the Cubs and 1-0 this year going 5 innings and giving up 0 ER.  All signs point to a Cardinals victory.  Take the Cardinals -107 at Pinnacle.

07/03/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

*NOTE*  We will be on a long weekend in Las Vegas following today’s pick.  Free picks from Sportsbettinginformation.net will return on 07-09-09.

We will leave you today with a nice win on a road underdog…

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

D-Backs                     +121                     at          Rockies

The D-Backs and Max Scherzer visit Jorge De La Rosa and the Rockies.  Jorge had a great outing in his last game against the the A’s and has won 4 of his last 5 starts.  On a down side, his ERA this year against right handed batters is 5.97 and the D-Backs can throw up some solid right handed power against him in the high altitude of Colorado.

Scherzer has been solid all year and his 5-5 record is very deceiving.  He could easily have 8 or 9 wins this year with any type of bullpen support earlier in the season.  In the last 30 days he’s pitched 29 innings and given up only 7 ER, for a 2.17 ERA and that’s with a 3ER in 4 IP outing last game when the D-Backs committed 4 errors behind him.

Look for Scherzer to do what he normally does, hold the opponent to just a few runs and look for the D-Backs power to come through in this one.  Take the D-Backs +121.

07/01/09 Free SportsBettingInformation.net Pick

Well, I guess I was wrong about Marquis not being a good pitcher yesterday.  I think a two hitter might qualify someone as a pretty good pitcher.  Hey, you can’t win ‘em all… but when you win over 50% picking underdogs, you still do alright :)

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Giants                       +133                     at           Cardinals

Can Matt Cain hold down Albert Pujols?  Can anyone hold him in check these days?  It’s a tough task for sure.  Matt Cain is 9-2 for the year and is 1-0 this year vs the Cardinals, giving up only 1 earned run in 6 innings.  Adam Wainright is 8-5 this year, but 0-1 against the Giants, getting hammered for 10 hits and 4 walks in 7 innings.  This game should be a well pitched game on both sides.  I don’t expect the Giants to damage Wainright quite as badly this time out, but I do expect them to get a few runs between Aaron Rowand and Pablo Sandoval.  Take the Giants plus 133.

HUGE win yesterday for us on our 2 team Parlay as both Chicago teams took home wins.  A +279 on the parlay for those of you that went with it.  Nice job!

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

at Dodgers         (-1.5)  +139                              Rockies

The Dodgers take on the Rockies today in Los Angeles.  It’s Billingsley for the Dodgers against Marquis for the Rockies.  Marquis is not that great of a pitcher.  Yes, he’s 9-5 on the year, but he started out 4-1 with a 3.31 ERA and it’s been going the wrong way since then.  He gives up a lot of hits and walks and is not a strikeout pitcher, so he is going to have a very tough time with the Dodger bats.  Billingsley on the other hand should be able to keep the Rockies off balance.  He’s coming off a poor start which is why I expect him to reall clamp down and thow up a bunch of zeros on the board tonight.  Take the Dodgers -1.5 at home on this one for +139 at Pinnacle right now.
