Last night wasn't so good as I went 1-2, so we look to get back to the positive side of things today. Here's the picks:

Mets Runline(+135)—This is only Chris Young's second start since being annihilated with an Albert Pujols line drive to the nose. Mets are 3-1 in Pelfrey's last four starts and he sports a 3.00 ERA.

Tampa ML (-130)—Fausto Carmona's ERA in his last five is 6.00 while Edwin Jackson has a 3.77 ERA and the Rays are 3-1 in his last four starts and they are also 28-12 in their current situation.

A's ML (+110)—The A's have lost seven in a row and I look for them to stop the bleeding tonight. Greg Smith hasn't pitched very well in his last five, but his overall ERA is still a full run lower than the pitcher he faces off with tonight.
