Baseball Betting – Friday MLB Picks
Put down that college football betting cheat sheet! The baseball season isn’t over yet and you’ll miss the pennant races if you’re not careful. Let’s make a few picks for Friday’s games.
Friday, July 24,
Bartolo Colon (3-6, 4.23) vs Eddie Bonine (0-0, 9.00)
Eddie who? The Tigers are taking a big chance sending the unknown Bonine to the hill Friday in a crucial divisional game. The question is whether or not you should take that chance too. I say no. Just as shouldn’t take a dumb chance on the Lions’ football odds this season, there’s no reason to trust Bodine. He hasn’t started a game this season and he’s allowed at least one run in all five of his relief appearances.
It doesn’t matter that
Daily baseball pick: White Sox
Minnesota Twins @ Los Angeles Angels
Friday, July 24,
Francisco Liriano (4-9, 5.33) vs John Lackey (5-4, 4.39)
Many bettors are starting to believe in John Lackey again. While I do too in the long haul, I don’t like the Angels on Friday. Lackey hasn’t pitched well at home this season and Francisco Liriano has pitched very well against the Angels in a small sample of innings, holding Chone Figgins, Vladimir Guerrero, Kendry Morales and Maice Izturis hitless.
The Twins will offer good underdog value and it’s good betting management to back Liriano right now. He struggled early in the season but his ERA has fallen under 4.00 for two straight months and his strikeout rate has returned to its lofty level.
Daily baseball pick: Twins

Poor Michelle Beisner, now having her name dragged into the Erin Andrew’s peephole disgrace. Shouldn’t we be more concerned with the Tour de France Stage 18 results? Let other sites worry about Omer Bhatti pictures and gossip, but we will focus on what the top baseball handicappers are worrying about.
The New York Yankees will try for a seventh straight victory tonight when they send CC Sabathia to the mound to open a four-game home series against the Oakland Athletics.
Sabathia has alternated wins and losses in his last five outings. He gave up five hits over seven scoreless innings Saturday in a 2-1 victory over

As the MLB season rolls on, the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are right where they want to be. So what deals are out there to push the two title favorites over the top?
It is believed that the Phillies are at the top of the list for who will land Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays.
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi expects the Halladay trade talks will come to a head early next week.
Assuming the Yankees don’t want Halladay, they seem pretty content with their current roster.
As long as CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett keep doing what they are doing, the Yankees may just stick with what they got as they chase the AL Pennant.
Expect the Phillies to be the team to make a few more moves before the trade deadline. Thanks to our friends at Bodog for supplying the content.
