Chance Gates' Blog

I like to be against the odds.

I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.

I’d like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues – what to anticipate, what to expect, what they’ll need to do to prepare themselves.

I’m not afraid to be lonely at the top.

It’s not the name that makes the player. It’s the player.

There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run.

Today picks is from a heated rivalry Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees.  The Yankees are 12-3 at home and Phil Hughes is pitching some lights out baseball.  He is averaging a strikeout an inning and has only had 14 walks.  The Boston Red Sox are 7-8 on the road and sending  Daisuke Matsuzaka to the mound.  Matsuzaka has dominating strkeout to walk ratio in his last start he struckout 9 with no walks.

I like the under in this game.

Roy Oswalt has been pitching really well however the Huston Astros have only scored 5 runs in his last 4 losses.  The Astros are only averaging 2.7 runs per game against right handed pitching.  The San Diego Padres have won 10 of the last 15 and 5 of the last 6.  I realize that the Padres are getting a great line, bu that seems to easy.   This reminds me of when Radke pitched for the Twins.    So take the Under.

These picks are meant to be for entertainment only!
