JOHNNY’S QUICK PICKS April 03, 2024
PITTSBURGH—
So yesterday was a clown show on wheels. Houston has a 1-0 lead with two outs and no runners on in the top of the ninth with the best closer in baseball on the mound. Can’t lose, right? A 3-2 walk and a two run homer on the next pitch and they lose 2-1. Those losses are tough to digest.
Whatever, I’m over it. It’s baseball – grind on.

MLB BABY!
Boston (-170) at Oakland
Oakland lost 112 games last year. What changed?
The A’s go with starter Ross Stripling. The veteran right-hander got bombed in spring training posting an ERA above 8.00 and got shellacked in the season opener. Again: what changed?
Boston counters with Nick Pivetta. He’s very undervalued. His first start was solid. Pivetta fanned 10 with only 1 walk while allowing one earned run in 6 strong at Seattle.
Pick: Boston (-170)
Tigers (+120) at Mets
Tigers are 4-0. Mets are 0-4. Ride the trends. Casey Mize going for the Tigers is a mystery. The key here is I’m fading the Mets until they win a game.
Pick: Detroit (+120)
Royals at O’s (-170)
Corbin Burnes is unbeatable at home and the Royals won their one game at Camden Yards.
