| PICK: Baltimore Orioles |
| Offered at: -170 betED |
| REASON FOR PICK: At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Baltimore Orioles over the Detroit Tigers. The roller coaster season that has belonged to Armando Galarraga will come to a end after tonight. The Detroit righthander didn't even make the team coming out of spring training due to his poor efforts, then came back in mid-May and promptly looked so uninspired that most people didn't even realize he had been placed in the Tiger rotation. But all that changed with his first start of June, when Galarraga pitched what should have been a perfect game, except for the blown call with two outs in the ninth by umpire Jim Joyce. After some decent starts and four consecutive wins, Galarraga reverted back to his spring form and was promptly sent back down to the minors in early July. He's pretty much been a non-factor since, with very brief flashes of the form he displayed in early June and most unfortunately, the Tigers have gone an incredible 3-11 in Galarraga's 14 starts since his July recall. He probably can't wait for it all to be over, but first he has to face one of the hot teams - and consequently one of the hottest starters - of the second half. The Orioles along with lefthander Brian Matusz have been on a nice little roll that has to have people in Baltimore thinking that there is some light at the end of what was a very long and dark tunnel. Next season could actually bring some success for this team with new skipper Buck Showalter at the helm and a plethora of young talent that has yet to be fully realized. The O's are 9-0 in Matusz's last nine starts on grass. Take Baltimore. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
