Picks for 8/9/09
Result: +2.00 units
Detroit Tigers (-124) over Minnesota Twins (1.0 Units) -
The Twins are 18-22, -6 units against lefties while they are +2 units against righties. With that in mind, we like the Tigers' Washburn to get his first victory with the Tigers. So take this game action with Washburn on the mound.
-------------------------------
Oakland Athletics (-110) over Kansas City Royals (1.0 Units) -
The Athletics' Anderson is +8.5 units in his 17 starts. Although the Athletics are completely out of it, they are still averaging over 6 runs a game in their past 20 games. So they have a good combination of offense and pitching in a game that they are barely favorite.
