 Today's MLB Baseball Picks: This is becoming a recurring theme, but it is because the Giants have dictated a distinct pattern, both favorable and unfavorable. The Giants have been under the radar and have emerged as a viable playoff team behind their 31-15 home mark, and their top of the rotation pitchers in Cain, and Lincecum. That part of the pattern has put plenty into the win column and positioned them where they are now. There is however, another well defined pattern on the negative side. The Giants have struggled on the road this season. When they do battle without either Lincecum or Cain on the hill, they have posted just five wins on the road all season long. The Braves have a very hot hand right now, especially playing at home where they are now 10-1 in their last 11 games. I'm riding with the Braves in this one.Game: San Francisco at Atlanta (1:15 PM Eastern) Pick: 3 units on Atlanta -1.5 runs +120 (runline) (risk 3 to win 3.6) I mentioned a lot of the logic on the moneyline side of this pick. The value transfers to the runline here as the Braves are winning big at home, and have taken 10 of their last 11 here. The Giants - an upstart team, have really fizzled on the road without their top of the rotation aces Cain, and Lincecum. They have won just five times all season on the road without them. I'll back the Braves here on the runline.Game: Tampa Bay at Chicago White Sox (2:05 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on Chicago White Sox -1.5 runs +180 (runline) (risk 2 to win 3.6) The Tampa Rays have not been a great road team. Even as they have come into their own over the last two seasons, they are sitting at 16-19 against lefthand pitchers, which is another negative. Scott Kazmir has had an injury-riddled season, and has not found the command and is walking too many. The net result has been a lackluster, and uncharacteristic 6.62 ERA. The White Sox have a steady pitcher in Mark Buehrle who is 10-3 on the season and has pitched to a 3.52 ERA. Kazmir's inconsistency has led the Rays to a 1-6 mark after he has registered a quality start, and the White Sox are now 9-1 in their last 10 vs. lefthanders. I'll go with the White Sox on the runline here. Results: 1-2 MLB Baseball Picks Resources:
