Pick: Colorado Rockies
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything more in #BPS than for the Rockies to back me up with a fat dubya after I select them as my pick for the day. Just one time, PLEEEAASSSEE Colorado, show the world I’m not crazy and show off that fancy offensive arsenal you guys have. If you’re a #BPS frequenter, you know I love the Rockies offense- Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Carlos “CarGo” Gonzalez, Trevor Story, DJ LeMahieu, AND NOW a healthy Chris Iannetta?? Lethal. Time to sip the kool-aid folks. This isn’t just about proving I’m right (but it is kinda), this is about making that cold hard cash, and the Rockies have proven they can do that for ya as of late. The brawl in San Diego just a short week ago has ignited a fire under Bud Blacks rear, inspiring his squad to take no prisoners. The Rockies want blood, and they get that today.
Pick: Detroit Tigers
The Orioles are slop. 5-12, no clear direction; thank god this game is being played in Detroit today otherwise these teams would be playing in front of an empty stadium. I’m not even sure dollar ‘dogs and a day off from work is enough to entice the people of Baltimore to come out and see this team play. Look for Matthew Boyd to continue his early season success and lower that ERA (1.38) even more today as he mows down this pitiful Orioles lineup.
Pick: Texas Rangers
Is this the Cole of old we’re seeing here in the early goings of the 2018 season? The former Phillies ace and 2008 World Series MVP has started out HAWT this season, dismissing 30 batters over 4 starts. I don’t see this Tampa Bay team giving him any additional problems either, so look for Hamels to continue to K parade as Texas wins this afternoon’s rubber match.
Pick: Milwaukee Brewers
The Reds were able to snap an 8 game losing streak on Monday against their divisional rivals only to be brought back down to earth Tuesday in a shutout. This shows me that the win meant nothing for the Reds as every blind squirrel comes across a nut eventually. With both Yelich & Cain back off the DL this afternoon for Milwaukee, trouble should only ensure for Reds pitcher, Tyler Mahle. Hope you brought extra trousers Bernie, cause you a** is gunna be sent down that slide more times than you can count. Brewers by a million.
** Cancelled – Stupid Rain **
Pick: Oakland Athletics
is their lineup, being away from Guaranteed Rate Field and against Triggs does not bode well for them. Athletics finish the sweep.Just as I predicted, the “sorry” Chicago White Sox proved the haters wrong and came out victorious last Wednesday 4-3 over the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the upset of the century; a true underdog story; headlines everywhere read: “Matt Shocks the World as White Sox Pick Comes Up Correct – He Must Be a Genius”. Long headline, I know, but it’s true, check anywhere. Today, unfortunately, I must concede to Vegas however as the Sox face a much taller order this afternoon as they face Andrew Triggs and the Oakland Athletics. The righty is rolling on all cylinders this season posting a minuscule 2.87 ERA with 17 K’s over 15 innings. Although Chicago does hold a few diamonds in the rough that
