Philly at Arizona MLB Free Pick for Wednesday

by VegasEdge.com - 4/25/2012 2:34 PM

3:40 pm We like this pitching matchup between Hamels and Cahill and it should produce a low scoring game. The Phils offense did come alive last night, but they have rarely done it Back to Back games this year, plus Trevor Cahill is a much tougher pitcher to face than Collmenter was. Trevor has a 2,.84 ERA in his 3 starts this year and he did strugg...

Their last match was a 3-1 win over Vancouver on the road. Sporting KC has scored 12 and allowed 2 goals in their seven games. That's right...two goals in seven games.

Mets at Braves April 17, 2012

by VegasEdge.com - 4/17/2012 3:04 PM

At first glance we would have to lean on the Mets in this one, but we are going to focus here on the total.We love to fade Atlanta against LHP more often than not, but, this is a rematch already of opening day when Santana held the Braves to two hits in five innings. We don't see him doing that again, and if we remember Chipper wasn't in the lineup then, either. Delgado pitched pretty well a...

Tigers at Royals Over/Under Betting Pick

by VegasEdge.com - 4/16/2012 3:13 PM

It is always a bit of a risk taking an OVER with Verlander on the mound, but we feel this is a good spot for us to take the risk. When Justin takes the hill, he hasn't got much run support from Detroit this year, as they have scored just 2.5 rpg for him in his 2 starts and as a result he is 0-1 on the year so far. That should change tonight. Danny Duffy faced the Tigers 3 times last year and...
