Good stuff in the comments section of Thursday's picks, check them out if you haven't.

Keep thinking a big slate will yield big cards, but it isn't happening.

...protect it when you don't.

Detroit, -120, 1. 5 units. Two teams racing towards the bottom. I'll take the slightly better starter at home.

Oakland +137
, one unit. The Rangers have shown that they can lose with Cliff Lee on the mound, so getting a good team at plus money at home has some value.

Seattle +141, one unit. Just can't see the Royals as good enough to be a 7-5 favorite on the road, even with Greinke pitching. I'm reasonably sure I won't stay up to see how this one ends.
