 Tuesday MLB Picks
San Diego at Chicago Cubs (+110, N/A)
Could be a big day for the Padres in the Windy City. First of all, they send Ben Sheets to the hill to try out his troublesome triceps with a reasonable price on the road, but maybe more importantly for their struggling offense, they welcome outfielder Mike Cameron back to the lineup.
Cameron rejoins the team after serving a 25-game suspension for using a banned substance. The Padres are hoping he still has some pop left to hit in the No. 2 hole after scoring just seven runs over their last four games.
And it seems as though San Diego isn’t overly concerned about Sheets’ injury. They sent David Bush down to make room for the ace on the roster. Sheets faces off against Chicago’s Jason Marquis.
Pick: Padres
Atlanta at Washington (+100, 9)
What’s the best way for Atlanta to get over dropping the last two games of a three-game set against the hated Mets? A trip to D.C., right?
Maybe. Tom Glavine, today’s starter, couldn’t get out of the first inning the last time he faced the Nats when a strained hamstring sent him to the showers. He took the loss as a result and it was just the second time in 19 years that the veteran lefty didn’t record an out.
His hammy is fine now, so expect him to bounce back today.
Pick: Braves
