MLB Picks, May 2nd

I see three games I like on today's schedule. It would be four, but the Angel's starter (Weaver) is coming off a stomach virus and may not be in top form against the Red Sox, so I'm going to pass on it.

$15 on NYY (Colon) over Detroit (Verlander) @ +$115

Colon is throwing well, with a 1.53 ERA thus far. The Tigers have dropped 6 in a row and their bats are deader than Osama, averaging less than three a game during the losing streak.

$20 on Atlanta (Jurrjens) over Milwaukee (Gallardo), -1.5 @ $+155

Jurrjens sports a 1.23 ERA this season. Gallardo's is over 9 in his last three trips to the bump.

$20 on St. Louis (Lohse) over Florida (Volstad), -1.5 @ $+125

Lohse is 4-0 with an ERA south of 1 in his last four starts. Doesn't get much better than that! The Brewer's Volstad's is above 6 in his last three games.

Starting Bankroll  $1,500.00
Profit/Loss               <42.25>
Current BR           $1,457.75

Action is considered dead unless both listed pitchers start.
