Here's my picks for Thursday, May 7: (run lines from SportsPlays.com)
Detroit Tigers (+1.5) vs. Chicago White Sox
The Tigers start Kyle Lobstein against Jose Quintana at U.S. Cellular Field, which is very friendly to hitters. As I said in yesterday's picks, anytime the Tigers are underdogs, I like to pick them. This matchup is particularly pleasing to me because the Tigers have been very successful against Quintana.
St. Louis Cardinals (-1.5) vs. Chicago Cubs
John Lackey faces Jake Arrieta in the series' finale. I like the Cardinals' bats against Arrieta, as that lineup tends to turn itself over during the afternoon games.
Cincinnati Reds (+1.5) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
The Reds' hitters have faired well against Pirates' starter A.J. Burnett, and Thursday's not going to be any different. Cincinnati has driven the ball extremely well against Burnett, and with Anthony DeSclafani pitching for the Reds, you'll be fine taking the underdog here.
As always, thanks for reading! Be sure to follow me on Twitter @griffaldo.
