Opinion ~ As much as a beast Wainwright has been, he is just 1-3 7.90 in 27 innings facing the Mets. Neise 2-1 1.83 in 19.2 innings facing the Cards. At this price, worth a small opinion.

Taking SEATTLE here. Third day in a row with these guys. Pettite 1-2 6.35 ERA his last 4 starts. Again, this NYY has over-achieved greatly so far. I know they have Granderson back, but this line-up is still a patch-work group. Seattle erupted last night as expected and if the bullpen didn't blow the lead on Tuesday, they would be going for the sweep here. As bad as Harang was early, he has turned it around with back to back quality starts and is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in those 2 outings. At this price, and recent trends of the pitchers, we will grab the dogs here. 4* MONEY-MAKER Seattle Mariners

Taking the TIGERS here. Will grab Verlander here as a pick. I know that Darvish has been great this year, but Verlander, prior to his last start had been even better. Verlander is also 7-2 2.02 ERA in 72 innings vs Texas. I think the Tigers are a bit better offensively than the Rangers here and in a game that should be low scoring, I will grab Detroit. 4* MONEY-MAKER Detroit Tigers

Taking the PADRES here. Yeah. Taking this ugly dog. I know. Oh Strasburg. But the youngster has not pitched well lately. 0-5 with a 5.32 ERA over that span. Volquez is 3-0, 2.49 in his last four starts turning it around after a poor start. 4* MONEY-MAKER San Diego Padres

Taking the METS here. Tough not to grab Harvey here. The kid has been dominate. He has 1.27 ERA in his last 3 starts (21.1 innings) and is 0-0 in those games. The Mets are 6-2 in Harvey's last 8 starts. For the Cubs, they are 2-6 in Jackson's last 8 starts. Edwin is posting a 6.02 ERA on the season allowing 48 hits in 32 innings and issuing 20 walks. Teams are hitting him at a .274 clip. Over the last 3 games, he is 1-2 with a 8.40 ERA in 15 innings allowing 23 hits and 14 earned runs. 4* MONEY-MAKER NY Mets

Taking the ORIOLES here. I think we will see some runs on put up here, and I think the O's will be doing most of the damage. Hellboy has a 7.02 ERA his last 3 outings in a little over 16 innings. TB is 0-8 in Hellickson's last 8 road starts and 2-7 their last 9 as underdogs. Orioles have won 6 straight with Hammel's on the hill and are 6-2 their last 8 when listed as favorites. Baltimore 6-1 last 7 here vs the Rays at home and 10-4 last 14 in the series. 4* MONEY-MAKER Baltimore Orioles

Taking the WHITE SOX here. Will back Chris Sale here. This guy just has the Angels number. He has a .55 ERA in 16.1 innings while striking out 16. In 56+ innings, Sale has K'ed 49 while allowing just 41 hits with hitters batting .204 against. He also has a WHIP of just .94 ~ I rarely throw out WHIPs, but a sub 1 WHIP is outstanding. Angels, again have stumbled early this season. I will go with the more dominate pitcher here. 10* ROAD WARRIOR Chicago White Sox

Taking the BREWERS here. I think the Brewers are better than their record. Today, I think we have the edge with Lohse. I know that the rookie Gast is an unknown lefty to Milwaukee. But I can't fight the numbers. Lohse was terrific at home here in STL last year. 16 starts, an 8-1 record with a 2.33 ERA and a .226 BA against. I also think anytime he faces these guys he has something to prove since they didn't want to pay him. 4* MONEY-MAKER Milwaukee Brewers
