- Recapping Picks from April 16 (2-1)
Colorado Rockies 4 at San Francisco Giants 3 (WIN +123)
The Giants continued to punish bettors have taken them this season, while the Rockies continue to reward as underdogs.
Washington Nationals 6 Philadelphia Phillies 4 (LOSS UNDER 8)
It looked good when the game went into the 8th inning with the Nats leading 3-1. It wasn’t until Bryce Harper’s two out three-run homerun in the bottom of the 9th that sunk our ship.
Chicago White Sox 3 Minnesota Twins 1 (WON UNDER 9)
The 9 runs which jumped up to 9.5 runs before game time was way too high for anyone paying attention to these teams so far.
April 18 Quick Picks:

Tampa Bay Rays (-114.0) @ 7:10 PM EST
The Tigers are 5-2 against the Rays in the last seven games at Tampa.
Miguel Cabrera is questionable, but I still like the Tigers Moneyline here.
Milwaukee Brewers (+161.0) at
Chicago Cubs (-161.0) @8:05 PM EST
The Chicago Cubs are struggling and have dropped five out of their last six games overall and have been favored in every game this season.
The Brewers Brewers have won six out of last seven games overall and in five out of those six wins they were the underdog.
Both starting pitchers are off to good starts but Cubs started Brett Anderson is still a huge question mark to take the Cubs with -161 juice and Cubs bullpen is 1-4 with a 4.10 ERA so far.
I am taking the Brewers Moneyline.
Miami Marlins (-102.0) at
Seattle Mariners (+102.0) @ 10:10 PM
Marlins starter Yovani Gallardo is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA in eight starts against the Marlins in his career.
The Marlins are only 6-20 in last 26 road interleague games on the road.
The Mariners have won eight of its last 11 interleague games at home.
Take the Seattle Mariners Moneyline.

In his career Jeff Samardzija’s teams are 5-2 all time when he starts against the Rockies, however both losses came last season, when Samardzija was 1-2 against the Rockies in four starts despite a 2.51 earned run average and racking up 34 strikeouts in 28 and 2/3 innings.
Indians starter Carlos Carrasco is coming back from injury and posted a 10.80 ERA with his opponents hitting .397 BA against him this spring. I expect Carrasco to eventually get back into form from last season, but as a -146 favorite, I think he is a big risk tonight.
Atlanta Bravers starter Julio Teheran is 7-3 in 14 career starts against the Mets with an ERA of 2.02 and a 0.989 Whip. Last season he was 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA against the Mets. Current Mets hitters have a .195 career average against Teheran. The Braves as a team are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in New York.
