MLB Picks, April 18th

Several games of interest on a busy MLB schedule today.

$20 on St. Louis (Garcia) over Cincinnati (Latos) -1 1/2 @ +$160

Garcia is 6-1, 3.00 versus the Redlegs in his career. Latos is 1-2, 10.80 against the Cards in his career.

$10 on Colorado (Nicasio) over San Diego (Richard) -1 1/2 @ +$135

Nicasio has a 2.08 ERA against the Padres for his career. Richard has struggled against the Rockies, posting career numbers of 1-3, 5.05.

$10 on Texas (Holland) over Boston (Beckett) @ +$105

The Rangers are hot and Holland has an ERA of less than three against Boston over his career. Beckett has a career winning record against the Rangers, but his ERA is north of five. Texas lit up the Fenway scoreboard to the tune of 18 runs yesterday, so they are hitting the ball well right now..
