Here are my picks for Thursday, April 23: (run lines based off of SportsPlays.com)
Atlanta Braves (+1.5) vs. New York Mets
Oddly enough, the Mets are the hottest team in the Majors right now. Bartolo Colon has had an amazing three first starts, but it's about time for his numbers to start looking a bit a normal. I like Atlanta to cover here with Julio Teheran on the mound.
Oakland A's (+1.5) vs. Los Angeles Angels
Kind of an odd pitching matchup between Jesse Chavez of the A's and Nick Tropeano, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to make this start against the Angels. Even though Chavez has been somewhat dicey as a starting pitcher, I'll take the A's in this one.
Chicago White Sox (-1.5) vs. Kansas City Royals
Chris Sale has looked just awesome in both of his starts this season. U.S. Cellular Field is a favorable ball park for offense, and the White Sox have historically hit the ball well against Yordano Ventura. Ventura has a 4.67 ERA when facing the White Sox, and this could be a tough outing for him.
As always, thanks for reading! Be sure to follow me on Twitter @griffaldo.
