September 18th, 2009 Picks

(toggle)

(skip to picks)Wow, well the day started off miserably with FC Basel handling AS Roma 2-0. That might have been the biggest upset in Europa League play but Hamburg SV lost to Rapid Vienna 3-0! Everton scored 3 goals before the half so my 2 goals or fewer pick was quickly sunk there and out of frustration I picked the low % Beckett to give up fewer hits to the Angels than Hamels to the Nationals. Lost that one 5 to 7 and at this point my blog picks were 0-5. A run of good luck followed, picked up a win with 3 runs or fewer scored in the final 3¹/₂ innings of the Oakland game and won my next 5 blog picks to finish 5-5-0. I expect to do better on the new day so on to the picks.
