From there, Baltimore owns an edge in the splits with the sticks, while Milwaukee might own a short edge in the bullpen comparison.

Texas is going in a good direction recently, St. Louis, not so much. And opposing trends like that mean a lot to us when handicapping baseball games. From there, we give the Rangers the checkmarks in both the pitching match-up and the splits with the sticks. We're betting on Texas Monday night.

We figured the Cardinals would wake up following a slow start to this season, and that’s what is happening. We’re betting on St. Louis Saturday night.

The total for this game is set at 7.5 runs, and I think the under is the way to go. Both teams have good pitching, and I don't think either team will score a lot of runs.

We’re betting Baltimore Friday night.

We rate both the pitching match-up and the bullpen comparison about even here but we give Tampa Bay a solid edge in the splits with the sticks. Are the Rays going to play .760 ball all season?

We’re betting Tampa to take the opener of this series Thursday night.

St. Louis is playing with a bit of momentum now, while Chicago looks like it's returning to Earth. And while Steele is going great, Montgomery ain't doing too bad himself. We like the Cardinals to complete the sweep Wednesday night.
