Recommendation:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Blue Jays have had three winning seasons in a row but age will catch them these season.\u00a0 Go under the 78.5.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fifth Place Finisher:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Baltimore Orioles:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Orioles total number of MLB Picks wins has declined for five straight seasons.\u00a0 The biggest reason for that is their pitching rotation is one of the worst in the Majors.\u00a0 Their only bright spot in the rotation has been Jeremy Guthrie who is off back to back MLB Picks winning seasons.\u00a0 The Orioles offense is about in the middle of the pack in each production category but with a pitching staff that continues to rank nearly last in any pitching category that you look at there isn’t much hope for improvement.\u00a0 The MLB Picks decline should continue this season as well.\u00a0 The O\/U in wins is 72.\u00a0<\/p>\n Recommendation:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Orioles no longer can count on the Rays to battle them for last place in the division.\u00a0 So in last they sit and go under the 72 number.<\/p>\n The MLB Picks season is a long one and Michael is primed for another huge year!\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Alexanders 2009 AL East preview, and the MLB Picks baseball season rolls into it’s second full week of action and as is typically the case has started with a few surprises…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[670],"tags":[41,12758,12374,10736,8445,8444,181,10445,499,12761,7860,10205,12760,7861,672,12762,681,12759],"class_list":["post-10063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mlb-baseball","tag-41","tag-2009-mlb-baseball-gambling-tips","tag-al-east-picks","tag-al-east-preview","tag-alexanders-sports-picks","tag-alexandersportscom","tag-betting-trends","tag-college-hoops-gambling","tag-gambling-trends","tag-major-league-baseball-gambling","tag-michael-alexander","tag-michael-alexander-articles","tag-michael-alexander-mlb-picks","tag-michael-alexander-picks","tag-mlb-baseball-gambling","tag-mlb-baseball-gambling-tips","tag-mlb-gambling","tag-pro-baseball-gambling"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10063"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10063\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10074,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10063\/revisions\/10074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>\u00a0 Their pitching staff is anchored by Roy Halladay who have averaged 7.45 innings per start and has 34 complete games the last six MLB Picks season (more than 20 other MLB Teams) but also battled injuries.\u00a0 With the Blue Jays having to rely on these proven but yet aged players, any injury problems will sink them.\u00a0 The O\/U in wins is 78.5.\u00a0<\/p>\n
