by Josh Schonwald - 4/13/2014

The rookie Roenis Elias is 0 – 1 this season but his numbers are decent for a pitcher seeing major league hitters for the first time. Elias’ last start was just 5 innings and he gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with a walk and 2 strikeouts. As he will have to do for the entire season, Elias will have to rely on scouting reports and help from the rest of the pitching staff and his catcher to formulate a plan of attack against the Rangers.

by Guy Bruhn - 4/13/2014

Ervin Santana threw a gem for the Braves in his first start. In 8 innings, Santana pitched scoreless ball, allowing just 3 hits and no walks while striking out 6.

Houston Astros at Texas Rangers Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/12/2014

Brett Oberholtzer has been rough in his 2 starts this season. He earned his 2nd loss in his last start where he gave up 3 runs on 3 hits in 5.1 innings. Last season, Oberholtzer struggled as well, compiling a 4 – 5 record in 10 starts (with 3 relief appearances). But Oberholtzer is just in his 2nd major league season and this season’s losses are not entirely his fault.

Chicago Cubs at St Louis Cardinals Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/12/2014

Edwin Jackson had a short night in his last outing. Jackson didn’t get the loss despite giving up 6 runs on 9 hits in just 4.2 innings. Jackson started poorly but eventually got “better”. Last season was the third straight that Jackson saw his ERA and losses rise as his wins declined. Things will certainly have to change or the trend will continue.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/12/2014

Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/12/2014

Jason Vargas was strong in his last start as he got the win based on his 8 inning, 4 hit and 1 run performance. Vargas had 2 strikeouts and a walk but he did give up a home run in the 9th inning which could have been due to fatigue considering that he had thrown over 100 pitches at that point.
