The odds are very close in this one, but SLIGHTLY favor Man U. In the last 5 at Chelsea, the teams have split, going 2-1-2 in their last 5, though 1 of those was in ET. Chelsea are 4-1-0 in their last 5 at home with a +9 GD (11-2). Man U are 3-2-0 in their last 5 on the road with a +4 GD (6-2).
S2thuhB’s Pick: Chelsea (Reggie)

Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees:
The Yankees are -130 favorites to win this game, and have taken the last 5 at home against the Sox. Even with that, they Yanks are missing some key guys, and I expect that to play a role here, though I think they still take it.

San Diego Padres @ New York Mets:
The Mets are -140 favorites here and hold a 3-2 edge in their last 5 at home against the Padres outscoring them 17-1 in the previous 3.
Volquez is nothing more than erratic, and sports an 0-3 record against the Mets with an ERA of 7.36 in 3 starts from 2010-2012.
Niese on the other hand has been much more consistent, going 13-9 with ERA of 3.40 last season. He also holds a 1-2 record against the Padres from 2010-2012 with an ERA of 1.99.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Mets (Dro)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Colorado Rockies @ Milwaukee Brewers:
The Brew crew are -140 favorites to win here, and hold a 7-3 record in their last 10 at home against the Rockies (3-2 in the last 5). With that, the Brewers are starting Yovani Gallardo, who in the previous 3 seasons is 0-2 against Colorado with a 4.35 ERA. The Rockies are starting Jhoulys Chacin, who holds a blank record against the Brewers, but holds an ERA of 5.4 in 2 starts in the past 3 seasons.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Brewers (Reggie)

Queens Park Rangers Win or Draw @ Fulham Win:
QPR are 4-11-15 with a GD of -22 (26-48), while Fulham are 9-9-11 with a GD of -4 (40-44). In their last 5, Fulham are 2-2-1 at home with a +2 GD (6-4), while GPR are 2-1-2 on the road with a -2 GD (7-9). I see Fulham winning here, but the draw is a notable risk.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Fulham (Reggie)

Phillsz’s Pick:
San Fransisco Giants @ Los Angeles Dodgers:
The Dodgers are -155 favorites to win with Klayton Kershaw on the hill. They are going up against the defending World Series Champion Giants, and Matt Cain, so it will be no easy task. H2H in LA, the Giants hold a slight edge, going 3-2 in the last 5. Pretty much whoever scores first is probably going to win.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Dodgers (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Los Angeles Angels @ Cincinnati Reds:
The Reds are slight -110 favorites to win here, and have Johnny Cueto going up against Jared Weaver. In 6 games in Cincinnati, these two have split, going 3-3. Both teams have plenty of offensive power, but I’m picking the Angels here, simply because they have the better starter on the hill.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Angels (Reggie)

Kansas City Royals @ Chicago White Sox:

Phillsz’s Pick:
Philadelphia Phillies @ Atlanta Braves:
The Braves are -120 favorites to win here and hold a 3-2 edge H2H against Philly at home. The Phillies will have Cole Hamels on the mound, while the Braves will be throwing Tim Hudson.
In the last 3 seasons Hamels is 5-3 in 13 starts against the Braves with a 3.16 ERA, though he is 1-2 with an ERA of 4.29 in Atlanta.
Hudson on the other hand is 6-3 in 12 starts with an ERA of 3.70 against the Phills, and 4-2 in 8 starts at home with an ERA of 3.38.
The Phillies had plenty of struggles at the plate last season, and I don’t see that continuing into this year, though playing in Turner Field, with these 2 pitching, it’ll be a close, low scoring game.

New York Islanders @ New Jersey Devils:
The Devils are -140 favorites to win here, and are 7-2-1 in the last 10 H2H in NJ against the Islanders. They are also 3-2 in their last 5 home games (10-5-2 overall) with a GD of +3 (13-10), while the Islanders are 4-1 in their last 5 on the road with a +3 GD (13-10). The Islanders are a tough road team, going 10-5-1 overall this season, meaning this could go either way.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Devils (Reggie)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Winnipeg Jets @ New York Rangers:
The Rangers, who come in with a record of 10-6-2 at home this season, are a solid -145 favorite to win this matchup. In their last 5 home games they’re 2-2-1 with a -1 GD (11-12). The Jets also come in with a 2-2-1 record in their last 5 road games with a GD of -1 (12-13). Overall the Jets are 10-7-2 on the road. Based on stats, this is a complete toss-up, though the H2H in NY slightly favors the Jets, who have won 3 of the last 5, and are 6-3-1 in the last 10.

St Louis Blues @ Minnesota Wild:
The Wild are -125 favorites in this one, sporting a 4-1 record in their last 5 at home (13-3-1 overall), though the last 2 went into OT/SO, and have a GD of +5 (16-11) in that span. The Blues on the other hand, are 2-3 in their last 5 on the road, scoring 13, and conceding 13.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Wild (Dro)

Phillsz’s Pick:
San Antonio Spurs @ Memphis Grizzlies:
Memphis are 4 point favorites to win this one, with the Spurs coming off a tough loss at home to Miami last night. H2H in Memphis, the Grizzlies are 3-2 in their last 5, with the most recent going to OT, though they are 7-3 in the last 10. With their age, and having to play 2 tough opponents in a row, I think the Spurs lose this one.

Boston Celtics @ Minnesota Timberwolves:
Boston is coming off loss last night in New York, and are a mere 13-23 on the road this season, and are 1-4 in their last 5. Minnesota on the other hand are 2-3 in their last 5 at home, and have lost all of the previous 5 at home against Boston, and 8 of the last 10.Most of those are against much weaker T’Wolves teams when Boston was in their prime. The tides have shifted since, and I believe Minnesota can pull this one out.

Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers:
The odds SLIGHTLY favor the Oilers in this one, though the Flames own a 3-2 edge at Edmonton in the last 5. Even with that the Oilers are 3-2 in their last 5 at home, while Calgary is 0-10 in their last 10 road games.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Oilers (Reggie)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Seattle Mariners @ Oakland Athletics:
The odds are CLOSE in this one, but slightly favor the A’s. Even with Felix Hernandez (1-2 in 5 starts agains OAK, with a 4.01 ERA) on the mound this isn’t a solid lock for the Mariners due to the fact they can’t score runs, sitting 27th in the league in runs scored last season, and 30th in Batting Average, On Base %, and Slugging %.
The A’s are also 4-1 in their last 5 at home against Seattle, with Brett Anderson on the mound, who is 1-0 in 1 start against the Mariners, with a blank ERA.
S2thuhB’s Pick: A’s (Dro)

Phillsz’s Pick:
St Louis Cardinals @ Arizona Diamondbacks:
The Diamondbacks are slight favorites to win here, though they are 1-4 in their last 5 games at home against the Cardinals. Adam Wainwright is 1-0 in 1 start against the DBacks with an ERA of 3, though it was in St Louis. Ian Kennedy on the other hand is 0-2 in 2 starts against St Louis with an ERA over 6.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Cardinals (Reggie)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Indiana Pacers @ Los Angeles Clippers:
The Clippers are 5 point favorites to win here, and are 4-1 in their last 5 at home (28-8 overall). The Pacers on the other hand are 18-19 on the road this season, and are 4-1 in their last 5 on the road, though 4 of the 5 were against weaker competition (The lone loss coming to Chicago).
The Clippers are 3-2 in their last 5 H2H in LA against the Pacers, including the last 2 by 7 and 16.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Clippers (Dro)
