4 Free MLB Picks for Tuesday May 22

Our only Major League Baseball play yesterday was a winner with the Cardinals -1.5.

There were several Major League Baseball games that we liked today and I decided to make four official plays.

There will be no play tonight in Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals.

No video today, but all four plays are here.

Pick #1 Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies- 7:05 PM EST

Good value here on the Braves with Brandon McCarthy on the mound. McCarthy is 3-0 with a 2.25 earned run average against the Phillies already this season.

Vince Velasquez for the Phillies is 0-3 with a 9.24 earned run average against the Braves this season.

Atlanta is also 13-3 in their last 16 road games.

My Pick: Atlanta Braves moneyline +105

Pick #2 San Diego Padres at Washington Nationals- 7:05 PM EST

The Padres are 1-4 when Eric Lauer starts this season. Lauer has a 8.14 earned run average and 2.10 WHIP over 21 innings pitched this season.

Phillies projected starter Jeremy Hellickson only allowed two hits and no runs over 6 2/3 innings against the Padres on May 8.  Hellickson has a 2.20 earned run average on the season and a 26 to 5  strikeout to walk ratio.

My Pick: Washington Nationals -1.5 (+120)

Pick #3 San Francisco Giants at Houston Astros- 8:10 PM EST

The Astros are 8-1 when Gerrit Cole starts this season with the last five wins being by at least two runs.

Andrew Suarez is coming off of two rough starts against the Reds and Pirates. The Giants are 1-4 when Suarez starts this season with three of the losses being by at least three runs.

My Pick: Houston Astros -1.5 (-125)

 

Pick #4 Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins- 8:10 PM EST

The Twins are over valued here.
Matt Boyd has been solid for the Tigers, while the Twins starter Lance Lynn has been a disaster.

Neither bullpen is very trustworthy, but no way Twins should be favored by more than -110.

These teams are evenly matched and the Tigers have the advantage on the mound.

My Pick: Detroit Tigers Moneyline +146
