By: Al McMordie | 8/8/2010 11:00 PM

By: Al McMordie | 7/18/2010 11:00 PM
Roy Halladay is one of the best pitchers in baseball despite his 10-7 record, and he is in super form over his last three starts. Look for him to notch his first career win vs. the Cubs.
By: Al McMordie | 7/17/2010 11:00 PM
Tim Hudson is having a great year for the Braves, and he has been almost unhittable with a WHIP below 1.00 in his last three starts. Take Atlanta vs. the struggling Narveson.
By: Al McMordie | 7/4/2010 11:00 PM
The ‘under’ is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings between the Mets and Nationals, and it could have been 11-2 in not for a ninth inning meltdown by K-Rod yesterday. Go ‘under’ again.
By: Al McMordie | 7/3/2010 11:00 PM
Petco Park may be a pitchers’ park, but that should not matter the way Kevin Correia and Bud Norris are pitching right now. Go ‘over’ this low total usually set aside for stud hurlers.
By: Al McMordie | 6/6/2010 8:05 PM

By: Al McMordie | 5/23/2010 2:10 PM

By: Al McMordie | 5/22/2010 7:05 PM

By: Al McMordie | 5/9/2010 4:10 PM

By: Al McMordie | 5/8/2010 3:10 PM
C.C. Sabathia is off to a much faster start than usual, as he has pitched very well since a shaky starts vs. these Red Sox on opening night. Look for C.C. to get some revenge here.
By: Al McMordie | 5/3/2010 7:05 PM

Ricky Nolasco was terrible in his first two starts, but he got well quickly vs. the Phillies last time our and he has had success in Coors Field in the past. Play the Marlins.
By: Al McMordie | 4/19/2010 11:05 AM

By: Al McMordie | 4/18/2010 8:05 PM
The Mets only had one hit in the first nine innings of their 2-1 20-inning win yesterday, and the offense does not figure to get well vs. Adam Wainwright tonight. Lay the fat odds.
By: Al McMordie | 4/16/2010 7:35 PM
It's simple math: Two potent offenses meet up with a pair of right-handers that have opened 2010 very hittable. Play the 'over' when the Braves and Rockies open their series at Turner Field.
By: Al McMordie | 4/15/2010 3:05 PM

By: Al McMordie | 4/12/2010 4:15 PM

By: Al McMordie | 3/27/2010 7:05 PM

By: Al McMordie | 3/22/2010 8:00 PM
