Working Late to Bring You Hump Day's Early Winners

We had an all-time Locks record of 17 picks in play tonight.  If it wasn't for some completely inept relief pitching (I'm looking at you Toronto, Chicago of the AL and Colorado), we would be basking in the glow of a wildly successful evening.  Instead, we're working overtime to identify winners to get us all back on track.  Tonight we went a total of 8-9 (including hitting the Two-For Tuesday set of picks, as well as both Spotlight on Sucking selections).  Even though we came in one game below .500, we broke just about even in money for the evening (official BAT update coming in the morning).

Being on the West Coast, it's often difficult for us to have sufficient time to get confident selections dialed in on the weekday early games.  To address this, the Locks will work to post picks for those early games the night before.  There are three ML games that kick-off tomorrow prior to 11:00 in California. Below, you'll find our picks for those games.  Unfortunately, we don't have access to any lines on these games at the moment.  We'll provide them tomorrow.  We'll also be back online on Wednesday afternoon to cover the rest of the MLB slate.

Milwaukee @ Pittsburgh - I'm beginning to accept that I have an irrationally inflated opinion of the Brew Crew.  They simply don't win as often as I would think that lineup should.  That said, I'm not hopping off that train just yet.  They get to face Pat Maholm tomorrow and he is someone that everyone on Milwaukee, other than Prince Fielder, hammers thoroughly. Unfortunately, the Brewers have to send Jeff Suppan to the mound in this game.  Regardless, I still like the Brew Crew here.  Take Milwaukee to win.  Final score is 6-4.  LOCK IT UP

Baltimore @ NYY - The Yankees will finish the sweep with an impressive throttling of the O's and Jason Berken.  Baltimore will be happy to leave the Bronx on Wednesday afternoon.  Take NY minus 1.5 runs as they prevail 8-3.  LOCK IT UP 

Chicago @ Philadelphia - We've been trying to predict the end of the Phils' winning streak for days and we're not stopping now.  I don't see the Cubbies getting swept here.  Jamie Moyer should be the stimulus Chicago's bats need.  The Cubs hitters have loved to face Moyer throughout their careers so tomorrow should be no different.  Big Z takes the mound for Chicago and helps cool off Philadelphia.  Take the Cubs to win.  Final score is 6-4.  LOCK IT UP

That should get us started on the right track on Hump Day.
