Big Wheels Keep on Turning, The Locks Keep on Burning

Another day, more money. That is the motto around here and that is what we continue to deliver in our new handicapping format. Since the overhaul, we have hit 14 of 18 Unpickable Master Locks, including another perfect (3-0) day yesterday. The remaining game picks have been working out as well, as evidenced by yesterday's 5-2 overall record. The Locks feels good and so should you because we have more winners coming at you today. So let's get to it.

Unpickable Master Locks:

LAA @ Baltimore - The Halos are rolling right now in much the same way the Locks is rolling. That offense continues to churn out runs by receiving contributions up and down the lineup. Amazing, considering they're doing all this without Torii Hunter. Unfortunately for the O's highly-touted youngster Chris Tillman, he's charged with slowing the Angels down. I'm not counting on that happening. He's going to have to work especially hard against this lineup which continues to grind out at-bats regardless of the situation. The Angels counter with Jered Weaver who has had pretty good success against the key Baltimore hitters in limited action. The Angels are far and away the superior team and will demonstrate as much on the field tonight. Take LAA (-147) to win, 7-4. LOCK IT UP

Colorado @ Florida - The Marlins start one of our favorite big league pitchers, Josh Johnson. This guy is a monster and not only as pitcher. He can rake as well. Not that the Marlins' offense needs any more help these days. Much like LAA, Florida is a team on a roll. Conversely, Colorado's Jason Hammel has not been on anything remotely resembling a roll. Plus he's faced the Fish one time this year and got abused. The Rockies have been playing well but I think Johnson and the Fish are much too tall an order tonight. In fact, take Florida minus 1.5 runs here (+125) to win 6-1. LOCK IT UP

San Diego @ St. Louis - Here we are, back on the Cardinals bandwagon. And what a wagon it is. These guys are the Locks' pick to represent the NL in the World Series. Tonight they give the ball to Adam Wainright who has established himself as one of the top starters in the NL this season. He's 13-7 with a 2.73 ERA on the year and that ERA improves to 2.18 at Busch Stadium. The Padres are severely lacking in the talent department though the Brew Crew certainly made them look pretty good over the past few days. The Cardinals ain't the Brew Crew. San Diego will have a difficult time scratching out runs in this game. They do have a very impressive young pitcher on the hill (Mat Latos - 4-1, 2.43) but tonight is not his night to notch win #5. Take the Red Birds minus 1.5 runs (-110) to win 6-2. LOCK IT UP
