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

Charlie Morton’s two starts of the season were wins for the Pirates even though he received no decisions. His last start was rough though as he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings. Morton struck out 5 while walking 1. Last season, Morton started 20 games for the Pirates and earned a 7 – 4 record with a 3.26 ERA.

by Josh Schonwald - 4/12/2014

Corey Kluber picked up his first win of the season in his second start after a 6 inning outing where he surrendered 3 runs on 9 hits while striking out 8. Kluber’s first start of the year contributed greatly to his inflated ERA of 7.71. Last season he was much better, earning an 11 – 5 record with an ERA of 3.85 in 24 starts and 2 relief appearances.

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.

Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/12/2014

Gio Gonzalez is now 2-0 on the season after he and the Nats were able to beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 last Tuesday.

Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/12/2014

Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 4/12/2014

Kyle Kendrick started off the season with a good start, but his most recent one didn't go quite as well. He took the loss against the Milwaukee Brewers after giving up six runs (four earned) on nine hits in five innings of work. Two of those hits were home runs and he walked two in the game.

by Tony Sink - 4/12/2014

Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 4/11/2014

The Oakland A's have the 2nd best team ERA in baseball and could overtake Milwaukee if Sonny Gray (1-0) continues his early season mastery. Seattle's early season upstart has also been keyed by pitching as the Mariners rank 4th but will need more consistency from Erasmo Ramirez (1-1) to win this weekend series.

New York Mets at Los Angeles Angels Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 4/11/2014

Jon Niese (0-1) was supposed to be the Mets opening day starter until elbow inflammation crashed that party. The 27-year-old is back from the DL and reported no ill-effects after his first start of the season on April 6th. The Angels send Jered Weaver (0-2) to the hill as he aims to rectify his poor start to 2014 and keep the ball inside Angel Stadium.

Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 4/11/2014
