Free MLB Picks - 5/16/08

Here’s a look at what I see as the best bets in baseball for Friday.  Lots of soft lines, let’s jump on the books this weekend!  Cubs/Pirates gets us started!

Pittsburgh Pirates @ Chicago Cubs
The Cubs are hitting like mad and have no business being only -135 against Pitt.  Anything can happen in baseball, but this is a bargain.
Pick:  Chicago Cubs -135

Toronton Blue Jays @ Philadelphia Phillies
Is it just me or does the American League usually clean up in inter-league play.  I don’t have the numbers on-hand to back that up, but I’m pretty sure it’s true.  I love what Jays have done with their pitching staff this season.  It’s one of the best in baseball and I’ll always take good pitching over good hitting.
Pick:  Toronto Blue Jays +115

New York Mets @ New York Yankees
The Subway Series!  Or whatever.  The Yanks are slumping and Johan Santana is pitching for the Mets.  -130?  You have to be kidding.  METS METS METS!
Pick:  New York Mets -130

San Diego Padres @ Seattle Mariners
I’m actually cheering against the Padres because I don’t have Padres’ starting pitcher, Chris Young, on my fantasy baseball team, but he’s really good and the Mariners suck something awful this year.  I’ll take the Daddies.
Pick:  San Diego Padres -110

Expect a lot of bargain numbers during interleague play this season as odds makers don’t seem to know exactly how to set their lines.  Plenty more free MLB picks to come in the upcoming weeks!
