by Tony Sink - 4/16/2014

Adam Wainwright is doing well in the early goings of the season. His last start earned him his 2nd win of the season after he went 7 innings and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits while striking out 8. Last season, Wainwright started 34 games and came away with a 19 – 9 record and an ERA of 2.94.

Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/16/2014

Yovani Gallardo has been stellar for the Brewers this season and one of the reasons Milwaukee is doing so well. In three starts, Gallardo is 2 – 0 with an ERA of 0.96. His last start was a no decision against Pittsburgh and Edinson Volquez where he went 6 innings and surrendered 2 runs on 6 hits. If Gallardo keeps pitching well, 2014’s results will be much better than 2013’s 12 – 10 record and 4.18 ERA in 31 starts.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 4/16/2014

Franklin Morales has gotten two starts due to injuries in the Rockies’ starting lineup. Morales appeared in relief against the Giants on April 13th but his last start was on April 8th against the Chicago White Sox. In that start, he gave up 6 runs on 8 hits (including 2 home runs) in just 6.1 innings of work. His 1st start wasn’t any better. Colorado will definitely need to see more out of him.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/16/2014

Madison Bumgarner has had a solid start to the season as well. He is 2 – 0 with an ERA of 3.31 and he is helping his own cause at the plate as well. If there is concern, it is the number of pitches he has had to throw in the last two starts. He is averaging 113 pitches in a just a little over 6 innings per start and those numbers would be the highest of his career if he continues the pace.

After starting out the season strong with a win in his first outing, Erasmo Ramirez has now lost two in a row. In his third start last Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, Ramirez went just five innings after giving up three runs on six hits. He was able to strike out three, but he walked three, as well. He now has as 5.62 ERA through 16 innings this season.

Toronto Blue Jays at Minnesota Twins Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/16/2014

Dustin McGowan was much better in his second start of the season than he was in his first. The 32-year-old was able to go 6.1 innings against the Baltimore Orioles and gave up zero runs on just five hits. His ERA now sits at 4.00 and should continue to drop if he keeps pitching the way he did against the O's.

Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 4/16/2014

Justin Verlander looked like his old self when he faced the San Diego Padres in his third start of the season. He was able to go seven strong innings and struck out eight while giving up just two earned runs on eight hits. He now has a 2.57 ERA on the season and has yet to give up a home run.

Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/16/2014

Pettibone has only faced the Braves once in his career, so none of their players have too much experience against the big right-hander. In fact, the only player who has an extra-base hit against him is Dan Uggla, who was 1-for-2 with a double. Freddie Freeman struck out twice against Pettibone in three at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays at Minnesota Twins Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/15/2014

The season hasn’t gone well for Dickey and his 1 – 2 record shows that. In his last start, he went 7 innings and surrendered 5 runs on 6 hits including 2 home runs. Dickey struck out 4 but walked 3. Last season (his first in Toronto), Dickey went 14 - 13 in 34 starts with an ERA of 4.21. Dickey just doesn’t seem like the pitcher that he was in 2012 when he went 20 – 6 and won the Cy Young Award.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/15/2014

Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-1) hopes for better success against the Giants than the last time out on April 4th. In that outing he threw 69 pitches in just two innings while allowing 6 runs and getting the early yank. San Francisco pitcher Ryan Vogelsong (0-0) hopes for similar run support in this outing as the 36-year-old is in danger of losing his spot in the rotation after two mundane starts to begin the year.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/15/2014

Juan NiCasio (1-0) hopes to find the pitching touch that he showed in his first start of the year when he went 7 innings while allowing just a solo HR in the Rockies' 12-2 win over Arizona. Andrew Cashner (1-1) on the other hand is hoping to build on his last start in which he almost threw the first no-hitter in Padres history.

by Josh Schonwald - 4/15/2014

Wednesday night, the Oakland Athletics will give the ball to Tommy Milone as they face the Los Angeles Angels and Tyler Skaggs. Milone will make his 2nd start of the season as Skaggs makes his 3rd.

by Tony Sink - 4/15/2014

Last season, the veteran right-hander had a 15 – 12 record after starting 33 games with an ERA of 4.04. 2013 was the first time since 2007 that Guthrie had a winning record and he could post another winning season this year if he continues pitching well.
