MLB Picks, July 1st

There are two games, one in each league, that are worth a gander.

$20 on Detroit (-1.5 @ +150) over Tampa Bay

Fulmer (5-1, 0.61 ERA, last 7 starts) throws the pill for the Tigers. In his last outing, he surrendered 1 run in 4+ innings against the Mariners. Tampa sends Smyly (0-4, 7.65, last 7) to the hill. The Orioles roughed him up for 8 runs in 5 innings in his last appearance. The Motor City boys have won 7 of 10. The Rays have dropped 13 of 15.

$20 on Atlanta (-125) over Miami

Teheran (1-1, 1.13 ERA, last 3 starts) gets the nod for the Braves. He threw 8 innings of shut out ball against the Mets in his last start. The Fish give the ball to Nicolino (0-4, 6.17, last 8).San Diego scored 5 on him in only 4+ innings his last time out. Both teams are playing poorly. Atlanta has lost 5 of 7 and Miami has dropped 6 of their last 8 on the highway.
