10* NL Game of the Week + Kentucky Derby
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -154.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -154.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Win
Gerrit Cole is 0-2 in his last 3 starts but has a 1.89 ERA with 23 strikeouts.
Cole pitched well Monday in Cincinnati but was again not helped by his defense or lineup. Since a five-run outing on Opening Day, Cole has thrown at least six innings in each of five starts while posting a 2.61 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 31 innings. His defense and team offense has let him down so far this year. I expect him to do well again and the Pirates offense to pick him up.
The Milwaukee infield is shabby and fragile in spots. The 29 -year-old Josh Harrison has been one of the few bright spots in the Pittsburgh lineup so far in 2017, and Harrison is now batting at .310 through 25 games with 5 homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored.
I'm on the Pittsburgh Pirates as our 10* NL GAME OF THE WEEK.
For the Kentucky Derby we are going with:
#15 McCraken 6-1 Current Odds
If you are looking for the Perfect Horse for the Coarse then look no further than this 3-year old son of Ghostzapper, winner of the 2004
Breeders' Cup Classic run at the same distance as the Kentucky Derby. McCraken is a perfect 3-3 over the Churchill Downs Main track, all as a 2-year old.
McCraken will be making his third start off a layoff, which is
Usually the best race in a horse's form cycle, especially off a regression. McCraken is a horse where the human connections mean a lot to me. He's 3-for-3 over the track at Churchill Downs and is based here, winning the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes in November.
Take him across the board to WIN-PLACE-AND SHOW in the Kentucky Derby.
