MLB Picks, July 24th

Two games in the AL look good today.

$10 on Detroit (Fister) over Cleveland (Jimenez) -1 1/2 @ +$145

Fister is 3-0 with a 2.57 ERA in his last three trips to the bump, including a stellar eight inning performance against the Angels in which he only gave up one run. Jimenez has lost some velocity on his fastball and is having control issues, a bad combination that has resulted in a 9.64 ERA in his last three starts. The Tigers have won five straight and 8 of 10. The Tribe has dropped 7 of their last 10. The LVH (formally the Las Vegas Hilton) has the best price on this game.

$10 on Seattle (Hernandez) over NY Yankees (Garcia) -1 1/2 @ +$195

Hernandez on the mound at home and getting almost 2-1 on the run line. I wish I could make this bet every day! Hernandez is 2-0 with a 0.73 ERA in his last three outings. Garcia is 2-1, but with a 4.15 ERA in his last three. LVH also has the best price on this one.
