The Detroit Tigers have had the NY Yankees number this season, winning all 4 meetings, including the series opener on Friday night 6-5. With the Yankees sending a guy that started his season, in the minors, Darrell Rasner, I think the Motown crew have a great opportunity of turning the trick again. Final notes & Trends: The Tigers have won 6 straight in this series, dating back to last season. Play on Detroit - Courtesy of Alex Smart

Free MLB Picks: Toronto Blue Jays (115)

Dustin McGowan of the Toronto Blue Jays finally got a much-needed win his last time out after pitching in hard luck throughout the year, and we expect another fine outing tonight vs. the Cleveland Indians.

McGowan has been another Toronto pitcher suffering from a lack of run support, as he has a 2.95 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP in 42.2 innings, posting six Quality Starts in seven outings and allowing just four runs in the lone non-quality effort. He tossed 7.1 scoreless innings at the Chicago White Sox while allowing only four hits his last start, and this is certainly not the same pitcher that the Indians hit hard the only time they faced him last year. Plus, the Blue Jays are also a qualifying Bullpen System play, and that system is now 19-14, +5.85 units so far this year.

Now granted, Aaron Laffey has allowed just seven hits in 12.2 innings over two starts this season, but is he really that good? We think not, and that he will get a rude awakening at the Major League level very soon. When he is in need of relief, the Cleveland bullpen only ranks 19th in the league with a 4.09 ERA.

We will back the Blue Jays as an underdog in this spot. - Courtesy of LT Profits

Free MLB Pick: Philadelphia Phillies (115)
Sat May 10 ‘08 4:05p
Now we know that Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants is a Cy Young Award waiting to happen, but we just can’t resist betting a much better overall team like the Philadelphia Phillies as an underdog here.Besides, Lincecum did allow four runs vs. this Philadelphia team, albeit all unearned, in his last start, the most runs he has allowed in any game this year. Yes, that had nothing to do with him and everything to do with shoddy defense, but he is catching the Phillies at a bad time, as they are averaging 6.0 runs per game over the last six games after struggling with the bats for quite a while. The Phils also just activated reining MVP Jimmy Rollins off of the Disabled List. If that isn’t enough, Philadelphia is a qualifying Bullpen System play here.

The Phillies counter with the ageless Jamie Moyer, who has three Quality Starts in his last four outings. Even though Moyer almost qualifies for an AARP card, he can still get big league hitter out, as he has a nice 3.44 ERA in his last three starts. The crafty southpaw is also a perfect four for four in his career in Quality Starts vs. the Giants, with the latest effort coming here in San Francisco last season when he allowed three runs and just five hits in seven innings.

We will go for the value here with the cagey veteran over the flame-throwing youngster.
