MLB Picks, May 22nd

Now that we're all relieved that the world survived another day, let's take advantage of it and look at a few ballgames.

$10 on NY Yankees (Nova) over NY Mets (Pelfrey), -1.5 @ +$120

Nova is 2-1, 2.87 ERA in his last three starts. Pelfrey has struggled on the highway, going 1-3, 8.87 ERA. I thought about a larger bet here, but the Mets are playing well, winning 7 of 10.

$10 on Philadelphia (Oswalt) over Texas (Harrison), -1.5 @ +$130

Oswalt is 3-1, 3.09 ERA this season. Harrison is 0-2, 5.52 ERA in his last three trips to the bump. Philly has won the first two games of the series and the Rangers have dropped three straight overall.

$10 on Arizona (Hudson) over Minnesota (Liriano), -1.5 @ +$135

Hudson is 2-1, 1.74 ERA in his last three starts. Liriano has had a rough go of it so far this season, posting a 6.12 ERA. Going into Saturday night's game, the D-Backs had won 4 straight and the Twinkies had lost 7 of 10.
