Sunday MLB Picks

Alexgurv87 · Aug 3, 2008

315-260 +40.10 units

Marlins -132 to win 1 unit

Rusch is having a pretty bad season, his ERA on the road is just over 6 while Olsen has pitched pretty well at home. His ERA circling around 3. Rockies offense has been nearly as good on the road, and the Marlins should win this one to win the series (3 out of 4)

Cleveland +166 to bet 1 unit

Loriano has pitched really well in the minor leagues, but the minor leagues, are not the major leagues. I expect him to have trouble in this game. Ginter isnt exactly great, but I can see Loriano just totally messing up this game

Cardinals -103 to win 1 unit

Brett Myers automatically makes me think that I wanna take this number. Also home teams play pretty well at home on Sunday

Myers pitched well his last start and check out the last time the Phillies faced Wellemeyer. If anything play the over, but I like the Marlins too.

I stopped playing totals a few years ago in all sports because I figured I was no good at them. Myers is a small reason for me, but the main reason is the great stats for SNight baseball for home teams and the Cardinals do pretty well also themselves o nsunday night baseball.

Phillies won 20-2 the last time they faced Wellemeyer and their bullpen is lights out. Line screams Cardinals, but I like the Phillies chances though of course I'm biased.

You had me swayed a bit but im sticking Cardinals. A stat like that is something that would make everyone and their mother jump on the Phillies and the over. Why is the line just about even? Doesnt make a ton of sense if you know what I mean.

About the Marlins over...a stat from another user on another site...just to help out

Line is about even because Myers is horrible on the road, but he pitched well his last start. I think the game will be decided by the bullpens and the Phillies have the best bullpen in baseball while the Cardinals lead the majors in blown saves.

:toast:. I just dont feel right with the Phillies. Myers had a good start his last game, but what about the rest of the season? Are you saying now that he has gotten back into shape? One start, against the Nationals doesnt convince me. 1-6 6.98 ERA on the road does convince me
