MLB Picks, May 4th

Three games on the MLB docket today that are worth a look.

$10 on Arizona (Miley) over NY Mets (Gee) -1 1/2 @ +$155

Miley has been impressive thus far this season, posting a 3-0 record, with a 1.29 ERA. Gee has struggled at home, going 0-2, with a hefty 7.50 ERA and has a 4.79 in his last three starts. The Mets are 4-7 versus southpaws this season.

$10 on Tampa Bay (Price) over Oakland (Ross) -1 1/2 @ +$105

Price is 3-0, with a 1.71 ERA in his last three trips to the bump. Ross is 1-1, 6.48 on the season and was shelled for 9 runs in 4 innings of work against the Orioles in his last outing. 

$10 on St. Louis (Lohse) over Houston (Harrell) -1 1/2 @ +$105

I hate to bet against my Astros, especially against the hated Redbirds (sorry Mojo and Chad), but the pitching match up strongly favors the Cards. Lohse has been nothing short of spectacular this season, posting a 4-0 record, with a 1.62 ERA. Impressive. Harrell is 0-2, 5.60 the last three times he touched his toe to the rubber and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings in his last outing versus the Reds.
