Free Mlb Pick - August 01, 2008
We split our two picks yesterday for a slight gain. Today we go with one MLB play.
Today's MLB Baseball Picks:
Game: Milwaukee at Atlanta (7:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Atlanta +1.5 runs -143 (runline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
The Brewers let a big opportunity pass them by as they were swept at home by the Cubs in four straight games. We have to believe they head on the road with a damaged psyche. The Brewers didn't just lose; they were hammered by a combined score of 31-11, and lost with both Sheets and Sabathia pitching. It is now five straight losses for the Brewers and six of seven. The Brewers’ staff has allowed 42 runs in the last five games and the pen is tired, overworked, and ineffective. The pen has logged 16.1 innings over these five games and has allowed 10 runs for an ERA of 5.51. Jeff Suppan is not pitching well allowing eight runs in his last start and has a 5+ ERA on the season. Atlanta has been a nightmare on the road, winning less than one of every three games, but powerful at home at 32-23. Chuck James seems to have straightened himself out at AAA Richmond where he pitched to a 2.48 ERA in 13 starts. The Braves get the call on the runline here.

Oakland was right in the midst of looking like a wildcard contender a couple weeks ago as they had run out to a 51-42 mark. Those nine games over .500 have since evaporated into a 2-11 slide. This sli...

The Braves have been shelled for 34 runs in their last three games. The bullpen is decimated thanks to having to come in early and often (no started made it past the fourth inning in those three games...

The Rays have been the biggest surprise of the season leading the AL East over the Red Sox and Yankees. Most of that success can be attributed to their dominance at home where they are 40-16. The road...

While the Red Sox and Yankees beat on each other in Boston, the Rays sit atop the AL East and look to extend their lead with a win over Kansas City. Andy Sonnanstine gets the call. He's 5-2 in nin...
