Rapid fire with a few quick picks, since it's Friday and I have a busy day at work....
Hudson -110 @ Sanchez -110, 8
Gyros starting 3-0 thanks to strong pitching, but also the hitting has come on as well. The Braves have a +12 run differential through 3 games, but they just traveled 3,000 miles across the country to come to one of the premier home-field advantages in all of baseball. Also, Larry "Chipper" Jones should be sitting this one out.
Pick: Giants -110
Hiroki Kiroda -125 @ Chris Volstad, 8.5
I know stats from last year and spring training aren't the best tools this early in the season. However, it is worth noting that down the stretch last year, Kiroda was 3-2 with a 2.79 era in his last 5 starts of 2009, while Volstad finished 2009 by losing 4 consectutive starts with an era over 12. Volstad also served up 29 HR last year. Kiroda was sharp this spring, while Vostad...not as much.
Pick: Dodgers -125
Pick: Over 8.5
