Jake's Picks - MLB - March 31st

[Mlink]

New York Mets +168
Pitchers: Pelfrey/Johnson

Mike Pelfrey is struggling a bit in the spring but Josh Johnson's velocity is down and he's not at 100%. Neither offense is a huge run producer and I like the value here.

Mets never hit johnson, mets have no bullpen... marlins win this one easy i just dont want to lay the chalk... i like the rest of your plays though especially the angels

 

[JakeT.]

Bump for game day. Good luck to all.

 

[JakeT.]

Volquez is getting killed. Loving that over. He gave up HRs to the first two batters and then walked the 3rd.

 

[Mlink]

yes...3 runs already and its only the top frame of the 1st inning !!!!!!!! i got the over at 8 i am feeling very good about it

 

[JakeT.]

3-1 now with a runner on and Jay Bruce coming up. Let's help out my fantasy team with a HR Brucie!

 

[JakeT.]

Bruce singles. 2 on, 2 out. Gomes is also a starter on my fantasy team. Coming up now.

 

[JakeT.]

Damnit Gomes.

 

[Mlink]

jake....you want to accept that trade or no

 

[Mlink]

ah just saw your email back... i think it was a very very fair trade but i see we have different views..

The pitching was just too far off for my liking. Trading Street would leave me with only one closer and Latos won't be out long. Getting an unproven guy in Hellickson and Baker (coming off injuries and a 4.49 ERA) just wasn't worth the small upgrade at 3B. I'll probably stand pat for now and hope that my free agent waiver wire guys come through.

 

[Mlink]

alright good luck

 

[Mlink]

you think this over will hit in the reds game?

Both squads are still getting hits but they aren't scoring. It should still go over.

 

[JakeT.]

Stubbs went deep right when I was typing that... 4-2.

 

[Mlink]

5-2 ...still nervous

 

[JakeT.]

Gomes coming up. He'll hit a HR to help my fantasy team.

 

[Mlink]

i think reds put up 1 more run...

 

[JakeT.]

Or foul out to 1st. Damnit Gomes.

 

[JakeT.]

Damn. Reds leave 2 more guys on base. Heart of each order coming up next though.

 

[Mlink]

yeah.... 6 more frames to get some runs
