Royals vs Padres Baseball Picks
The Royals re in a funk. They have lost 5 in a row including last night against San Diego when they blew a 3-0 lead against one of the worst hitting clubs in the Majors. Doubling the agony was losing in extrainnings after having the lead.
Draft Prognostications!
The NFL Draft is nearly upon us…finally. With some extra time to prepare thanks to the May date players have been picked at like never before and now we have the moment of truth. Below are who I think the top 10 picks will be.
San Diego Chargers
The San Diego Chargers snuck into the playoffs last season but don’t let their surprise success fool you into thinking this is not a team looking to upgrade in a number of areas.
White Sox vs Cubs Baseball Picks
The White Sox have been a bit of a pleasant surprise thanks to a high octane slugging offense. The leader of that group has been cuban import rookie Jose Abreu who leads the Majors in homers and is second in RBIs.
Wizards vs Pacers NBA Picks
The Wizards have been cooling their heels waiting to see who they are going to play. The fact that it is Indiana is hardly a surprise and even though they lost the season series to the Pacers, 2-1, I am sure they are going into this game with a high level of confidence.
NBA Picks Washington vs Indiana
In a strange twist it was Washington that made quick work of their opponent in their round 1 series. Meanwhile even though Indiana ultimately put away Atlanta, they certainly did not look like a top team in the process.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos had a great season until they ran into a buzzsaw in the form of the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions experienced another terrible second half and missed the playoffs in an NFC North that was ripe for the taking.
Minnesota Vikings
Without a doubt this franchise needs a quarterback. Drafting in the 8 spot they should have a chance to get one of the top prospects at the position but so far it has not been clear in which way they might be leaning.
Hawks vs Pacers NBA Picks
The Hawks are on the edge of becoming a special story or just another footnote of teams that got close but no cigar. They blew the chance to close out the series at home and now have to enter one of the toughest arenas in the league to win in for game 7.
Giants vs Braves Baseball Picks
This is a matchup of two first place teams, surprise first place teams if you ask me. In the case of the Giants it was expected they would settle in behind the Dodger but recent strong play has them just ahead.
Pacers vs Hawks NBA Picks
This year top seeds are getting challenged more than any time in recent memory. Indiana has been pushed to the edge needing to win the final two games of their series to move to the next round…and avoid embarrassment.
Rays vs Red Sox Baseball Picks
Before the season started the Rays were the favourite but a month in they find themselves below .500 and in last place.
Blue Jays vs Royals Baseball Picks
The Blue Jays are right in the middle of the bunchy AL East but they have to start playing better or they will be at the bottom before they know it.
Wizards vs Bulls NBA Picks
The Wizards were missing one of their leaders with Nene out due to suspensions but it appears it might have sharpened their focus as they took a commanding 3-1 series lead heading back to Chicago.
