Wednesday's Free MLB Pick by Dennis Macklin of Vernon Croy Sports

MLB Seattle vs. Texas

Take Seattle Mariners

Texas has dominated this series like nobodies business going 35-17 over last three years, 21-6 here, 7-1 TY. This might be a very nice chance to cash sweet dog as Baek is 3-1 with 4.13 ERA over first five starts and has faced Rangers twice, blanking them for 15 innings on just seven hits. Texas responds with ex-Phil prospect Robinson Tejada. Tejada has been razor sharp in L3, 0.44, but has a seaon long 8.28 ERA in Texas Stadium where he\'s been hiy with impunity. Tejada pitched 6 2/3 of four hit ball against M\'s just eleven days getting no decision but again, will need to see him have a couple of solid home starts before we could consider backing him, especially at this price. Take Seattle.

i dont necessarily like going against pitchers who have pitched lights out in the last three...regardless of home/away era. but seeing as how youve been on a roll, lets see how it goes! good luck!
