Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/30/2014

On Opening Day, Julio Teheran and the Atlanta Braves will head out to Milwaukee to take on Yovani Gallardo and the Brewers. Teheran started to look like the elite pitcher that all Braves fans expected him to be in the 2013 season. He pitched 185 innings for Atlanta and kept his ERA pretty low at 3.20.

Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/30/2014

Neither Seattle nor the L.A. Angels are in a spot to take a wait and see approach anymore after having two of the largest payrolls in baseball. The Angels were a disappointment, finishing in third place with talent like Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujols and the Mariners spent $240 million this off-season to lure Robinson Cano away from New York.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/29/2014

The Dodgers are apparently going to be the MLB spotlight team over the course of the 2014 season. Not only has LA already played 2 regulation games in an international series last weekend, they'll be the Sunday Night Baseball game on the unofficial opening day of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/21/2014

Two familiar division foes square off as the Diamondbacks take on the Dodgers Saturday, but this game is played nowhere near Arizona or Chavez Ravine as the MLB tries to expand it's international reach with a Sydney, Australia opening series. Folks back on the West Coast can enjoy the 1AM PT opening day first pitch as they extend their late Friday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks Free MLB Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/21/2014

Hyun-Jin Ryu and Trevor Cahill take the mound for the Dodgers and Diamondbacks respectively as the NL West rivals play their second game of the season on the fabled Sydney Australia Cricket Grounds as part of MLB's international opening weekend.

2014 St. Louis Cardinals Free MLB Picks for Futures Odds with Season Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/27/2014

Is that decision not to sign Albert Pujols to a $240 million or whatever extension looking better and better each year for the St. Louis Cardinals or what? Pujols looks like a shell of his former self with the L.A. Angels, and the Cards haven't missed him. They reached the NLCS in 2012 and last year won 97 games -- St. Louis' most since 2005 -- and returned to the Fall Classic. The Cardinals lost to Boston in six games because they couldn't get David Ortiz out.

Free MLB Picks: Atlanta Braves Futures Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/20/2014

From 1991-2005, the Atlanta Braves were arguably the marquee franchise in baseball as they won their division every year -- not counting the strike-shortened 1994 campaign. It's been well-documented that Atlanta won only a single World Series in that stretch, but the Braves were stacked with young players, spent money and were a model franchise. Things changed in 2006 when Atlanta slipped under .500, and it began a four-year run of the team missing the postseason.

Free MLB Picks: Detroit Tigers Futures Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/19/2014

No team has won the American League Central four years in a row since the Cleveland Indians did it five straight years starting in 1995, the first full year of the division's existence. It would be a huge upset, however, if the Detroit Tigers didn't win a fourth straight this season despite some turnover on the club.

MLB Picks: Boston Red Sox Futures Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/14/2014

It used to be a rarity to go from worst one season in your division to first the next. In fact, it never happened in the first 90 years of Major League Baseball. With Boston pulling the trick last year in the American League East, it has now happened 11 times in the past 24 years. The 1991 Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins -- who played in an epic World Series -- were the first two clubs to do so.

MLB Picks: Toronto Blue Jays Futures Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/5/2014

Pitchers and catchers start reporting to camps this week, which has to be a great thing to hear for those stuck in the frozen northern parts of this country -- did the NFL luck out with the Super Bowl or what? A winter storm hit the greater New York area the morning after. Perhaps NFL officials will remember that now that other cold-weather cities are asking to host the game.

Free Baseball Picks: Angels at Rangers Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/26/2013

The Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers will close out the regular season with a four-game set at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington starting this Thursday night. Game 1 is set to get underway at 8:05 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.

Free Baseball Picks: Dodgers at Giants Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/24/2013

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be looking to build some momentum heading into the postseason when they square off against the NL West-rival San Francisco Giants this Tuesday night at AT&T Park in the first of a three-game set. This series opener is set to get underway at 10:15 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.

Baseball Picks: Reds at Pirates Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/20/2013

The Washington Nationals appear to have very much motivated the Cincinnati Reds. The Nats made a bit of a push to catch Cincinnati for the NL's second wild-card spot, but now it seems a lock that Cincinnati will claim one of those two wild cards, with Pittsburgh the other. And I wouldn't want to play the Reds right now. They enter Friday's big series opener at the Pirates having won three straight and nine of 13. Cincinnati has Johnny Cueto back and has perhaps the most unique weapon on baseball in speedster Billy Hamilton.

Baseball Picks: Indians at Royals Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/18/2013

I must admit that when Cleveland Indians ace and all-star Justin Masterson left his Sept. 2 game against Baltimore with what the team called at first sore ribs but then acknowledged was an oblique injury, I didn't believe the Tribe had enough pitching to grab one of the AL's two wild-card spots. What I didn't expect was how lousy Texas and Tampa Bay were going to play since then, and now it appears the Indians have a great shot to reach the playoffs for the first time since losing a seven-game ALCS to Boston in 2007.

Baseball Picks: Phillies at Nationals Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/14/2013

No division has ever had three teams make the playoffs -- it wasn't even possible until last year's addition of the second wild-card spot. It seemed like a lock that the National League Central would be the first with St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. And it's still pretty likely. However, the Washington Nationals are finally starting to play to expectations and are just 5.5 games back of the second wild card currently held by the Reds entering this weekend's series in Philadelphia.

Baseball Picks: Cubs at Pirates Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/12/2013

The Chicago Cubs will try and put a kink into the Pittsburgh Pirates NL Central title plans when the two division foes clash this Thursday night in Game 1 of a four-game weekend series at PNC Park. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (ET), and the game will be available on MLB Extra Innings.

Baseball Picks: Brewers at Cardinals Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/10/2013

The Milwaukee Brewers will try and put a crimp into the St. Louis Cardinals’ division title plans when the two NL Central foes kick off a three-game series at Busch Stadium this Tuesday night. Game 1 is set to get underway at 8:15 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.

Baseball Picks: Rangers at Angels Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/7/2013

It seems the Texas Rangers are putting the cart before the horse a little bit. You see, the altered their rotation this week, essentially to assure that ace Yu Darvish would be available for any playoff opener. The postseason schedule was announced this week with the NL wild-card game on Oct. 1 and the AL on Oct. 2. Will Texas play in that for the second year in a row?

Baseball Picks: Red Sox at Yankees Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/5/2013

The Boston Red Sox continue their quest to lock up the AL East Division title this Thursday night in the first of a four-game series against their bitter rival, the New York Yankees, at Yankee Stadium. The first pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. (ET), and the game will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network.

Baseball Picks: Rangers at Athletics Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 9/3/2013

The Texas Rangers and the Oakland Athletics continue a crucial three-game series this Tuesday night at the Oakland County Coliseum in a showdown that will have a major impact on a tight AL West title race. Game 2 of this divisional clash is set to get underway at 10:05 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.
