MlB Week 6 Picks
All right, my full attention to posting is on Gotpicks now. let's roll.
MONDAY
Daily Best Bet;
Roll with me on San Diego/Atlanta over 9 even in baseball. I know, I know, Chris Young can get it done. But not against the Braves, the Cat has been absolutely drilled left and right in his career by this team. I also see the Padres exploding offensively and it's about time. That has been one of the worst hitting teams in baseball for the better part of a decade. Anyways, I'm on the over 9 -105 as my daily best bet.
Week 5 Record: 0-3 and raised the white flag.
Week 6 Record: 0-0 ATS...Atlanta/San Diego over 9 Even pending.
Prediction: Atlanta 9-5
Numbers to support:
Chris Young's Number on the year..notice the road ERA:
SAN DIEGO PADRES -- YOUNG,CHRIS (R)
GS W L IP H R ER BB SO ERA Day Ngt Grs Trf
Away 4 1 2 20.0 23 15 13 11 16 5.85 0 0 1 2 1 2 0 0
Home 2 2 0 15.0 7 0 0 5 13 0.00 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 0
Total 6 3 2 35.0 30 15 13 16 29 3.34 0 0 3 2 3 2 0 0
Here's his last two starts against the Bravos:
5/24/06 ATL 6-10 L 3.0 6 6 8 1 4 3 -115 -115 7.5-120 7.5-120
7/14/06 ATL 12-15 3.0 7 7 7 1 2 3 -125 -130 7.5+100 7.0-120
Are you kidding me? gave up 10 and 15 in his last 2 against the Bravos last year. Dont' think that is going to stick in his head.
Young, though, was 0-1 with a 19.50 ERA in two starts against Atlanta last year and surrendered six homers in six innings.
Guys, James is much better at home but I can't see these two teams sluggin it out tonight and not going over.
Good luck whatever your on tonight.
