MLB Picks for this Weekend

MLB

Sports betting baseball fans always look forward to the weekend. With the slate of games scheduled for this weekend, there is definitely a lot to look forward to.

Saturday, 4:10 PM EST – Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim @ Detroit Tigers

The Tigers are locked in a battle with the Cleveland Indians for the AL Central pennant and the Angels are trying to catch the Texas Rangers for first place in the West. This game will feature the Detroit pitching against the Los Angeles offense, and pitching will usually win in situations like this.

Pick: Detroit Tigers

Saturday, 10:10 PM EST – Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Dodgers

The Diamondbacks are desperately trying to keep pace with the San Francisco Giants in the NL West, but the Giants keep on winning and now San Francisco has Carlos Beltran. The MLB baseball betting world gave up on the Dodgers a long time ago when Los Angeles proved to be more about the drama than the game. But the Dodgers are still playing for pride, and pride can sometimes take a team a long way.

Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks

Sunday, 1:35 PM EST – Pittsburgh Pirates @ Philadelphia Phillies

It is unclear where the Phillies keep finding these great pitchers from, but the surprising Vance Worley (7-1, 2.02 ERA) will take the mound against the upstart Pirates. Pittsburgh needs to win a road game against a team like the Phillies to develop confidence going into the playoffs, but that is a pretty tall order and the Pirates may not have the talent to fill that order.

Pick: Philadelphia Phillies
