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.

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.

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.

*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.

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.

Today for the first time this year we’re going to recommend a parlay.  It’s all about Chicago today, as the Cubs travel to the Pirates and the White Sox visit the Indians.  The Pirates and Indians are both pretty poor team, although the Pirates do play surprisingly well at home.  The key to this parlay is Zack Duke for the Pirates.  He’s 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA in his last 3 starts, but I think he’s been pitching a bit over his head.   To add to this, Derek Lee, Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley all hit Duke and lefthanders in general well.  It’s going to be a tough battle for Duke to get through the lineup 3 times unscaved.

A two team parlay taking the Cubs and the White Sox at Pinnacle or SportBet pays over $275 right now on a $100 wager.  Take the 2 Chicago teams for a nice win today.

Let me start by saying, I love today’s free pick.  I wish I could find a place to get the D-Backs -1.5 for a +160 or +170, but we’ll have to be happy with the +118 available at SportBet.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

at D-Backs                +118                                    Angels

The Angels have won 3 straight games, while the D-Backs have lost their last 3.  On the mound for the Angels will be John Lackey, going 41 innings in his last 6 starts and giving up a whopping 54 hits and 25 ER for a 9.00 ERA.  Doug Davis is going for the D-Backs and although he’s lost his last 2 decisions, he has not been pitching bad at all.  The bullpen blew his last game where he only gave up 1 ER in 7 innings and his ERA is 2.92 in his last 6 starts.  If the D-Backs young hitters like Stephen Drew, Chris Young and Mark Reynolds can muster up any inning where they put together a few hits in a row, this game should go there way.  Take the D-Backs +118.

Nice win for us yesterday on a +105 behind Randy Johnson’s well pitched game.  Today we are going to go with a game between 2 not very good teams.

Today’s Free MLB Pick is:

Team                           Line                                  Opponent

Royals                       +106                                    at Astros

Today’s pitching matchup has Brian Bannister for the Royals going against Brian Mohler for the Astros.  Moehler has won his last two starts, but don’t be fooled by that.  He has not been pitching that great.  His ERA is 4.50 in the two wins and is 5.63 in the last 4 starts.  Brian Bannister on the other hand got hammered in his first start of the month, but since then has started 3 games and a 1.29 ERA, giving up only 14 total hits in the 21 innings of work during this time.

We’ve hit a +140, +130 and +105 this week on our free picks at SportsBettingInformation.net , so take some of that winnings and take the Royals +106 in this battle of two almost cellar dwellers.

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.
