 Free Baseball Pick for Monday
The free pick run is 55-45 after the Astros bullpen suffers another collaspe.
Great spot for Brandon Webb tonight.
He comes off that loss to the Rockies where he got hammered to the tune of 5 runs in 6 innings.
He will bounce back tonight.
Over his last 2 starts versus the Giants he is 2-0 and in his last 2 starts by the bay, just 4 runs over 15 innings.
Cain comes off 5 shutout innings against the Padres but he has lost 2 of his last 3 to the D'backs.
Considering the fact that Webb is off the loss and the D'backs need a win, I look for their ace to do the job as well.
All D'backs tonight.
(based on 1 to a 10 ♦ Ratings )
5♦ ARIZONA

I've been gambling my entire adult life. Understanding the mindset of coaches and players, and the situations they find themselves in daily, is the key to my success. That is what over a decade in this business will do for you. Make you understand the little things.
Look, you've got to realize something about athletes, both collegians and pros: They don't give their all every single game. They just can't. Whether it's a lookahead game, a letdown game, a travel situation or a dozen other scenarios, the situation often dictates a less than 100% effort. As a handicapper, you've got to be able to spot those mismatches - no matter the sport - and that's why I've got the winning edge.
Bottom line: My knowledge of the game is unmatched in this industry. To be a successful handicapper, not only must you know the game, but you must understand exactly what teams are trying to do, and know whether or not they will be able to do it.
