Free MLB Baseball Pick for Sat The free pick run is 54-43 and we stick with baseball for Saturday. I am all over Brad Radke and the Twins tonight. Radke is 3-0 over his last 3 starts allowing just 4 runs over 22 innings. That is bringing it at clutch time. At home, he just shut out the Blue Jays over 7 innings in getting the win and he will be on the money tonight. You add the fact he has beaten the White Sox 2 in a row and he is the play here. Twins got the job done over Freddy Garcia on Friday night and they will do the same over Garland tonight. His last start in Minnesota, Garland was tagged for 7 runs over 5 innings here in the homerdome. He has also given up 10 runs over his last 19 innings. Considering how hot the Twins are and as cold as the White Sox are, ride the Radke hot streak with another Twins victory tonight. (based on 1 to a 10 ♦ Ratings ) 4♦ MINNESOTA TWINS

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. |
