Pirates-Yankees rained out, doubleheader Sunday
Andrew Caley
Game 1 of an interleague series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York was postponed Friday due to rain and thunderstorms in New York.
The game will be made up Sunday at 1 p.m. ET as a part of a doubleheader. Starters Edinson Volquez (1-3 4.36 ERA) and David Phelps (0-0, 4.09 ERA) were scheduled to start and are expected to start Saturday's game.
Detroit has been on a pretty good roll on the road and look to continue that as they send Scherzer to the hill tonight in Boston. In his last five starts he is 5-0 with an 1.64 ERA and .186 opponent batting average with 41 strikeouts in 33 innings. He has struggled in the past against Boston but he is in a zone. The Tigers will face Jon Lester who has also pitched well, he sports a 4-4 record but a 2.75 ERA. The Tigers however are 9-2 vs lefties so far this year. You won't see -105 with Scherzer very often so we are going to jump on this one. The Sharps say...
Tonight’s starting pitcher for Atlanta Ervin Santana has been one of the feel good story’s of the spring. Signed after three Braves starters went down with injuries to be a fifth starter, Santana has pitched like an ace going 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA. But St Louis has owned Atlanta at home going 10-4 in their last 14 meetings at Busch. Even though he has pitched poorly recently, the value is with Cardinals starter Lance Lynn who opened the season with four vicories but has lost his last two. He gets back on track tonight and getting the Birds at home at pickem is also worth the bet. Cards give Santana his first loss!
Game: San Antonio Silver Stars @ Atlanta Dream
Time: Friday 05/16 7:35 PM Eastern
Pick: Atlanta -9 (-102) at 5Dimes
Atlanta finished second in the East last season and has a fine time returning. They play best at home, going 13-4 here last season. The Dream is 19-8 ATS in their last 27 home games. The Atlanta Dream have reached three WNBA finals since drafting Angel McCoughtry with the No. 1 overall pick in 2009, so they are used to winning. The Dream acquired four-time All-Star Swin Cash from Chicago on May 7th and drafted Shoni Schimmel with the eighth overall pick, so they are loaded. Schimmel is Louisville's second all-time leading scorer behind McCoughtry. They face a rebuilding San Antonio team off a 12-22 campaign, ranking #8 in points scored and #10 in points allowed. Grab home court in this season opener. Play Atlanta.
