MLB Predictions: Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels

The Mariners continue to fight hard and play with a sense of urgency. At 72-66 on the season, Seattle has proved they are doing anything but throwing in the towel. Ichiro Suzuki is in a close race with Minnesota’s Joe Mauer for the AL batting title as he’s hitting .362 from the dish. Jose Lopez, the M’s second baseman has been one of the more unnoticed players in the game this year putting up 22 homers and 84 RBIs. Russell Branyan, while struggling of late, has provided a big power... 

Baseball Picks: Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Game 1

The Rays are coming off a possible season crushing loss yesterday as they entered the top of the ninth up 3-1 and surrendered a four spot as Brandon Inge unloaded a grand slam as the Tigers held on to that 5-3 margin completing the sweep of Tampa. The Rays now sit seven games behind AL wild card leader Boston and very much need to take this double header from the Bronx Bombers, you can count on them playing all their main guys in both games. Evan Longoria has been sizzling hot of late as he has recorded...

MLB Picks & Predictions: Angels at Mariners

The Angels are approaching that time where they start to pull away from the AL West. The Texas Rangers are now six games back of LAA in the division as pitching woes have started to haunt the Rangers. With that said, the Halos have not exactly been playing superb baseball going 5-5 in their last 10 games. Last night Vlad Guerrero exploded with two home runs and four RBIs in a 10-0 rout of Seattle. Juan Rivera added a home runs as well which was his 21st of the season. This is as deep a team...

MLB Picks: Chicago White Sox at New York Yankees

The White Sox are fading away very quickly of this AL Central race. After having high expectations for the second half of this season due to the acquisitions of ace pitcher Jake Peavy and versatile 2-time all star outfielder Alex Rios. The result so far is that Peavy had an injury setback and has not yet made an appearance for his new team and Rios has been even worse then he was with Toronto in the first half of the season. Jermaine Dye leads his team in home runs with 24 while adding 71 RBIs,...

MLB Picks: Chicago White Sox vs New York Yankees

The White Sox salvaged the last game of their four game series yesterday against the Red Sox as they pounded young starter Junichi Tazawa. However, they did drop three of the four games and currently trail the Tigers by four games for the AL Central lead. Some bright spots for the Chi Sox have been Paul Konerko and rookie Gordon Beckham. Konerko has raised his average to .278 on the season and has collected 23 home runs (one behind Dye for team lead) and 76 RBIs which leads his team. Gordan Beckham...

MLB Betting Odds & Picks: Diamondbacks vs Giants

Another disappointing night for Arizona in which has been a very bad season for the boys from the desert. Down 5-2 headed into the top of 9th inning yesterday they rallied to close the gap to 5-4 before falling short on a Chad Tracy ground out. The Diamondbacks are 2-8 in their last 10 games overall and 20-25 against NL West opponents this season. Justin Upton is sidelined with an oblique injury, Eric Byrnes and Conor Jackson are out for the season while Mark Reynolds is doubtful with an illness.... 

Billy Wagner Traded to Boston Red Sox

The NY Times reports that the deal nobody thought was going to get done, got done, and now Billy Wagner will join the Boston Red Sox.  Just yesterday (Monday, August 24th) Wagner used his no-trade clause to block a move to Boston, but changed his mind just before the 1:30 PM deadline today.  Wagner wants to win the World Series, something that’s obviously not going to happen for the New York Mets this year.  His reasoning for the initial rejection of the trade was that he wanted to be a...

Baseball Odds: Oakland A’s at Seattle Mariners

The Athletics are coming off a series win against the American League Central leader Detroit Tigers taking two of three games. Kurt Suzuki is coming off a good series where he had a walk off hit. Jack Cust crushed the ball in the last game hitting two home runs both off rookie Rick Porcello, that gives Cust 19 home runs on the season. The most important thing to note though is that they got stellar pitching from their young arms. Trevor Cahill was superb and Gio Gonzalez was solid also while...

Los Angeles Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays MLB Odds & Picks

The Angels are coming off a 7-3 victory yesterday afternoon behind Vlad’s power and another good pitching performance by Ervin Santana who seems to be getting his game back. Today they play the rubber game of this series. LA has a nice lead in the division and is throwing a rookie out their to make his third career start. If this team was managed by anybody besides Mike Scioscia, I would expect a lazy game today but the halos know better, whether or not they’ll win, we will see. While... 

MLB Odds & Picks: Oakland A’s vs Detroit Tigers

Fresh off another great pitching performance by Edwin Jackson, the Tigers head into the second game of this series after taking game one last night 3-2. Ryan Raburn was the man of the night hitting two home runs and was no doubt the player of the game. Detroit stands 3.5 games ahead of the White So in the AL Central race. To look ahead even more, this a team that is being vastly under valued. All the critics throw out the Yankees, Angels and Red So as the contenders to win the ALCS, I’d...

Baseball Picks: Detroit Tigers at Oakland A’s

The Tigers are coming off a series win against the Mariners winning two of three games. In the rubber match yesterday they came back in the ninth inning scoring two runs off closer David Aardsma. Clete Thomas was the guy who singled in the run as that should give Detroit a big boost headed into tonight’s game. Miguel Cabrera is core of this teams lineup. He is a power hitting 1st baseman who has a good glove and hits .335 from the plate. Miggy also has 24 homers and 72 RBIs. Curtis Granderson...

2009 NFL Rushing Yards Props

So which running back will rack up the most yardage in the upcoming NFL season?  Bodog recently posted their 2009 NFL Rushing Yards Props, and you probably won’t be surprised at the players topping the list.  Here are the favorites with their odds and a quick take on their upcoming season: 2/1 – Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) – There’s no more explosive back in the league right now.  Even with the Vikings’ recent signing of Brett Favre, Peterson should still... 

MLB Odds & Picks: St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers

The Cardinals dropped the second game of this series last night 7-3 to the Dodgers. Spot starter Mitchell Boggs got hit hard yesterday which did not help his cause for a post season roster spot. They take the field tonight in what is a spotlight rubber game between two of the NL powerhouse clubs. Behind the bats of Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday, the Cardinals have a real chance to make it to the World Series this season. Second tier talent like Ryan Ludwick, Mark DeRosa, Rick Ankiel and rookie...

MLB Betting: New York Yankees at Oakland A’s Odds

Well, that was certainly a surprise last night. The New York Yankees have been hammering the competition of late. From a four game sweep of the Red Sox to taking three of four from the Mariners, they have been winning by great hitting and stout pitching. Last night though Brett Tomko went five scoreless innings and was helped out by his bullpen who were superb. If the Bronx Bombers believe that they could relax, that this division is wrapped up, I strongly advise them to get a reality check.... 

Baseball Picks: St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers

The cards are coming off a 3-2 win last night over LA. The damage was done by two long balls. Albert Pujols hit a solo homer and Rick Ankiel hit a two run home run which was all that ace Chris Carpenter needed. Tonight St. Louis looks to separate themselves even more from the rest of the NL Central. For everybody banking on either the Phillies or Dodgers representing the National League in the World Series, I’d take a step back and watch the Cardinals. Pujols, Holliday, Ludwick and DeRosa... 

MLB Picks: St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers

The Cardinals enter this series against LA coming off a huge comeback win yesterday against San Diego. Down 5-4 headed into the bottom of the ninth, rookie Colby Rasmus hit a three run walk off homer. St.Louis seems to have that extra hop in their step, they have the firepower offensively for the first time in a while. They have won for straight games and have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games. Albert Pujols leads this team and is baseballs best. He has 38 home runs and 104 RBIs on the season.... 

Baseball Picks: New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners

The Bronx Bombers moved to 30 games over .500 last night with their 4-2 win over Seattle. Their record is 73-43 on the year. To say they are clicking on all cylinders would be an understatement. The Yanks can win by blowing you out or by grinding out tough fought victories. MVP front runner Mark Teixeira has been everything New York could have hoped for. He is the best fielding first baseman in baseball and a great overall hitter. He is hitting .288 with 30 home runs and 86 RBIs on the season....

Free Baseball Picks: Chicago White Sox vs Oakland A’s

The White Sox are 58-57 on the season and are currently 2.5 games behind the Tigers for first place in the AL Central. Chicago has been the talk of the town recently after the controversial waiver claim of Alex Rios. Many fans are unhappy they are committing big money to him as his contract extends for three more years guaranteed. On the field though he is still a great talent and could very well have a huge bounce back season in 2010. Jermaine Dye is this teams best player, he has 24 homers... 

Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 8/13

Early 20* No Doubt Rout Thursday afternoon! I’ve also added a 15* total for this evening in bases, and I will also be releasing plays on the NFL pre-season games a little later today. 20* scores last night with the Rangers, but both 15* totals fall short. 20* plays are hitting at 61% over the last month, and overall plays stand at +2,230 units over my last 234 picks!

Baseball Betting: Padres at Brewers Odds

The San Diego Padres are coming off last nights 13-6 demolition of the Brewers. The Pads have won four of their last five games. Adrian Gonzalez set a record last night going 6-6 in a nine inning game. That was the most hits by any Padres hitter in a nine inning final. Kevin Kouzmanoff and Chase Headley are hoping for big second half seasons to prove to management that they are very useful every day players.. Youngsters like Kyle Blanks, Tony Gwynn Jr.and Everth Cabrera will certainly get their... 

MLB Picks & Predictions: White Sox at Mariners

Alexei Ramirez was the hero last night as his three run home run in the ninth inning off closer David Aardsma sealed the deal on a much needed comeback victory. Until then the White Sox only mustered up 2 hits and not a single run. John Danks pitched a beauty and closer Bobby Jenks saved it. The waiver claim of Alex Rios caught people by surprise, many skeptics criticizing it as a waste of money headed into the future. I think that is nonsense. Rios is a young player with unlimited talent who... 

Baseball Picks: LA Dodgers at San Francisco Giants

The Dodgers took the first game of this series 4-2 yesterday behind solid pitching from Hirkoi Kuroda. Matt Kemp has been a one man wrecking crew of late, His averaged has climbed to .314 while adding 15 homers and 72 RBIs this season. James Loney and Casey Blake both have 65+ RBIs while both hit above .280 from the dish. Andre Ethier has 23 homers and 73 RBIs this season while Manny has really started to come around. This is as well balanced a lineup as you’ll see. Orlando Hudson is no... 

2009 World Series Predictions

If you go strictly by the MLB odds, we are looking at a World Series between the New York Yankees (+225 odds to win the World Series) and the LA Dodgers (+450), both the favorites in their respective leagues.  If history has shown us anything, however, it’s that the favorites don’t always win, especially when it comes to baseball. Major League Baseball is one of the most difficult sports to predict in terms of futures bets, because the season and the playoffs are so long.  There’s... 

Baseball Picks: Houston Astros at Florida Marlins

The Astros are 55-56 on the season and currently six games the Cardinals in the NL Central race. They come off a series win against the Brewers taking two of three games. Houston was a team who had high expectations coming into the second half of this season due to the fact they have the reputation of a great second half team. Carlos Lee has been swinging a very hot bat while Kaz Matsui and Hunter Pence have played solid baseball. On the mound tonight is veteran Brian Moehler, he is 7-7 with...

Jason Giambi Released by Oakland A’s

Oh, how the (artificially) mighty have fallen.  Bloomberg.com reports that the A’s have Released Jason Giambi.  The former American League MVP (2000) is having a horrible season, hitting just .193 (worst in the Majors) with 11 homeruns and 40 RBI with a .364 slugging percentage (4th worst in the AL).  He had been on the disabled list since July 20th with a strained quadriceps. Giambi is a 5-time All-Star and played for the A’s for 7 years before being traded to the New York Yankees,...

Baseball Picks: Tampa Bay Rays at Seattle Mariners

Fresh off a two game sweep against the Red Sox, the Rays face Seattle on the road tonight. They go against Felix Hernandez who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball all season long. Evan Longoria leads the charge as he’s emerged as one of baseball’s best players period. He has 23 home runs and 81 RBIs on the year, considering he missed some time with an injury those numbers are staggering. All-star game MVP Carl Crawford is hitting .314 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs while swiping... 

MLB Picks: Texas Rangers at Oakland A’s

The Rangers are 59-46 on the season and have dropped the first two games of this series against Oakland. To add insult to injury, Nelson Cruz got injured on the Rajai Davis game winning hit on Monday night while stud second baseman Ian Kinsler continues to battle a left hamstring injury. Boo hoo, would be my response to that. Every team faces tough breaks and this is now the Rangers first obstacle they need to overcome this year. If Texas plans on staying the the AL West and AL Wildcard races,... 

Best Baseball Players of All-Time

I was taking a look at an article today over at Wired on network science ranking baseball greats and think it might be worth a look.  The article talks about a recent effort by arXiv to study every single at-bat from between 1954 and 2008 to compare players who never faced each other and compare hitters who appeared years apart.  The core of the study is a stat called Runs Until End, which assigns a value to each at-bat on how many runs a team would score by innings end.  The total RUE score for... 

Baseball Odds & Picks: Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres

The Atlanta Braves are scuffling after a promising acquisition of Adam LaRoche at the trade deadline to rejoin his former teammate Nate McLouth who was acquired a couple of months back. They have dropped five of their last seven games and have not done much hitting at all. With the exception of Yunel Escobar, this lineup has been digressing. Chipper Jones is hitting below .290 (which for him is below average), Brian McCann has been a no show over the past week while Nate McLouth continues to disappoint.... 

MLB Trade Deadline: Biggest Winners & Losers

It may be too early to truly judge which teams made out with the best deals before the MLB’s trade deadline this season, but I’ll give it a try anyway. Biggest Winners St. Louis Cardinals - While their trades weren’t what I would call “deadline” deals, the Cardinals still improved more than any other team in baseball over the last month.  They added two legitimate bats to their lineup in Matt Holliday and Mark DeRosa, who are both off to red hot starts for St. Louis. ... 

Baseball Odds & Picks: Diamondbacks vs Mets

The D-Backs enter tonight’s game looking to take this four game series @ New York. Arizona has taken two of the first two games behind good pitching performances. On the season they are 46-59, when breaking down their lineup and pitching staff you’d see that they are much more talented then that poor record shows. Led by all-star Justin Upton and power hitting third baseman Mark Reynolds, Arizona has a nice future ahead of them. Upton it hitting .300 on the dot with 20 homers and... 

Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 8/1

20* No Doubt Rout wins with the Rays last night. I’ve now hit 8 of my last 10 top play 20* bets! Saturday I’m going big with a total of SIX plays. Five 15* plays are available along with the best bet of the day, a 20* No-Brainer total! We’re having a great season with a 131-103 record for +2,928 units with my last 234 picks, plus a 41-22 record with my last sixty-three 20* best bets, including hitting 8 of the last 10!  Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a... 

Jake Peavy Traded to White Sox (For Real This Time)

This time Peavy approved a deal that will make him a member of the Chicago White Sox.  Early reports say that the Padres will acquire four pitchers from the deal, Aaron Poeda, Clayton Richard, Dexter Carter, and Adam Russell. Peavy won the NL Cy Young Award in 2007, but has battle injuries over the past two years, including an ankle injury that has had him on the disabled list since June 9th of this year. The White Sox are currently in 3rd place in the AL Central behind both the Detroit Tigers and... 

Boston Red Sox Trade for Victor Martinez

It’s official.  Victor Martinez has been dealt to the Boston Red Sox from the Cleveland Indians for pitchers Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone, and Bryan Price. The move bolsters an already impressive Red Sox lineup the includes David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, and Jason Bay.  My biggest question is where the Red Sox plan on playing Martinez on a regular basis.  Will they bench team captain Jason Varitek?  He isn’t a great offensive presence this year, but he is a leader... 

Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 7/31

Nice early winner on the Orioles runline yesterday for my lone play of the day. Friday I have a pair of MLB picks, a 15* selection, plus a 20* No Doubt Rout Runline! We’re having a great season with a 130-102 record for +2,964 units with my last 232 picks, plus a 40-22 record with my last sixty-two 20* best bets, including 7 of the last 9!  I want to note that this is the time of the year when teams start calling up a lot of their young pitchers and position players. As a result, I am much... 

Will Anyone Trade For Roy Halladay?

With the Phillies picking up Cliff Lee yesterday, it now seems more likely than ever that Roy Halladay will remain in the Blue Jays uniform for the rest of the season.  Philadelphia was Halladay’s most likely new home, and while there are still plenty of teams that would like to have him lead their staff, there are few teams that can pay what the Jays are asking in return, and those teams that have what it would take to get a deal done have all but ruled out the possibility of acquiring Halladay. The... 

MLB Odds & Picks: Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants

The Phillies are making headlines all around the league due to their recent blockbuster deal for Cy Young winner Cliff Lee. Philly traded four of their top 10 prospects to get the stud pitcher along with outfielder Ben Francisco. In reference to the play on the diamond, the Phillies are 7-3 in their last 10 games overall. After taking two of three against Arizona, they set their sights on San Francisco tonight. Ryan Howard leads the team with 26 home runs and 77 RBIs while his partner in crime... 

Cliff Lee Traded to Philadelphia Phillies

ESPN reports that Cliff Lee will join the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies for their run for another World Series Championship.  The Indians get right-handed minor league starter Carlos Carasco, righty, Jason Knapp, and highly-touted catcher, Lou Marson in return for Lee. The trade is just waiting on the physical exams by the players from each team, but all accounts are that this is a done deal. Philadelphia had to give up some prospects, but they added a proven pitcher (and last year’s...

MLB Picks: Atlanta Braves at Florida Marlins

Fresh off last nights 9th inning blunder, Atlanta takes the field tonight looking to even up this series. Up 3-2, closer Rafael Soriano gave up a two run homer to pinch hitter Ross Gload last night. The Braves are 6-4 in their last 10 games overall and have been playing solid baseball of late. Yunel Escobar is hitting .309 with 11 homers and 58 RBIs, he has been one of the hottest hitters in the game since the all-star break. Chipper has been solid as usual hitting .289 with 13 homers and 49...

Baseball Betting: Pittsburgh Pirates at San Francisco Giants Picks

Pittsburgh is 43-56 on the season and seems to be intent on sleep walking the rest of the 2009 baseball season. After trading away Adam LaRoche, Nate McLouth and Nyjer Morgan, the fans have gotten very restless with the front office of this team. Jack Wilson and Freddy Sanchez are the only two Pirates that could be considered good players and what do you know, they are both in the middle of trade talks. Sanchez is hitting .296 with six home runs and 34 RBIs while Jack is known for his gold glove...

MLB Picks: Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers

The Detroit Tigers come off taking three of four against division rival Chicago White Sox. Overall though, they have went 4-6 in their last 10 overall which is due mostly to their hitting. Surprisingly runs have come at a premium for what was thought to be a powerful offense in the beginning of the season. Magglio Ordonez has been awful in a way nobody can explain. Miguel Cabrera has been fantastic like expected hitting .330 with 19 homers and 53 RBIs. He is with out a doubt their most dominant... 

Mark Buehrle’s Perfect Game

It seems like everyone is talking about Mark Buehrle’s perfect game and since it’s only happened 17 other times in 388,364 games of Major League Baseball history it deservers a lot of attention.  I think this guy deserves some more attention than he gets, especially after reading Yahoo’s ten reasons they are going nuts over the perfect game.  If you look at his career numbers compared to guys like Josh Beckett and CC Sabathia you might be surprised at what you would see as he... 

Cards Trade for Holliday

It’s official.   ESPN is reporting that the Cardinals have completed a trade for OF Matt Holliday with the Oakland A’s even paying $1.5 million of his salary.   The A’s got third baseman Brett Wallace, outfielder Shane Peterson and right-handed pitcher Clayton Mortenson in return.   Holliday has had a down year, but he’s played in a tough park out in Oakland and didn’t get much protection in the lineup.  Of course now he will be protecting Albert Pujols and how much... 

MLB Picks: Florida Marlins at Los Angeles Dodgers

The Marlins are 49-47 on the season and currently on a three game winning streak. Nobody talks abut the fish as serious contenders in the NL wild card, that is a big mistake. With the second best player in the game in Hanley Ramirez and a very good young rotation, Florida will compete. Hanley is hitting .348 with 15 homers and 62 RBIs. Considering his missed some time with injuries those numbers are staggering. Jorge Cantu has been a solid addition this season. He is hitting .287 with 10 home...

Roy Halladay Trade Rumors

There’s been a lot of speculation about where Roy Halladay might end up before the trade deadline (July 31st). Over just the last three days there have been talks of potential deals sending him to the Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, and St. Louis Cardinals.  MLBTradeRumors.com makes updates throughout the day on Roy Halladay trade rumors. The buzz is that the Blue Jays are asking for the world in return for Halladay, and you can’t really... 

New York Mets VP of Player Development Challenges Players to Fight

New York Daily News recently reported that New York Mets Vice President of player development, Tony Bernazard went a little crazy in the Binghamton Mets’ clubhouse, allegedly challenging some Double-A players to a brawl during a postgame dispute.  Bernazard was apparently already frustrated with the organization, and it has been reported that he was set off by a t-shirt worn by Double-A prospect, Jose Coronado, that used some slang term for a part of the female anatomy.  Bernazard then ripped... 

Baseball Picks: Boston Red Sox at Texas Rangers

The Red Sox are currently on a four game losing streak. After last night’s loss to Texas they fell one game behind the Yankees in the AL East standings. Every team that is serious world series contenders will go through mini slumps like this, it is how you respond that defines the character of the organization. Jason Bay leads the team with 20 home runs and 72 RBIs, while hit batting average has dipped he still remains their most effective hitter with RISP. Kevin Youkilis has 17 homers... 

Baseball Players Who Lie About Their Age

Scouting in baseball is big business.  What major league team doesn’t want to find the next Albert Pujols as a diamond in the rough?  A lot of money gets thrown around when teams start signing players at a young age, but what happens when the player isn’t so young?  Prospects lying about their age is a problem that seems to come from Latin American countries, but MLB teams have a new tool at their disposal and that is using DNA to test age and even identity.  The New York Times does...
