Picks, 6|FRONTS|2|FRONTS|10

Some good discussion in 6/1's thread, make sure to check it out.

Colorado +113. After the Rockies wasted a leadoff double in the ninth and first-and-third, no out in the tenth, I tweeted that this team had a skill for losing winnable games. I wasn't trying to anti-woof, but it worked, and they pulled it out in 11. Nonetheless, this team has blown a lot of chances to make up ground in the NL West.

Today:

Florida +112, 1.5 units. Studies have shown that pitchers who throw at least 121 pitches in an outing, as Yovani Gallardo did last time out, suffer short-term performance degradation. Other studies have shown that pitchers who come into the game after the starters have left for the Brewers are horrible and can be a source of profit.

Baltimore +270, one unit. Purely a math play. I kind of like Brad Bergesen, though; I saw him in person like five times last year and miss him by just a day this time around.

Baltimore -1.5 (+425), .25 units. Let's dabble in this silliness, shall we?

Tampa Bay -104, one unit. Better team. The Jays are going to have fade value for a couple of weeks.

Kansas City -107, one unit. Scott Kazmir fade. Considered the over, elected to not put myself on the Angels' offense.

Colorado +130, one unit. Close call, as it feels like the number should be higher with Cain coming off the one-hitter. I'll ride the best team in the NL again, but with a bit more trepidation than is usual. Brian Wilson went 34 pitches last night, he may not be available.
