MLB Picks and Predictions for Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Oakland Athletics vs. New York Yankees (7:00 PM ET)

Line: Oakland Athletics (-128) at New York Yankees (+118); total: 9.0 – see all MLB lines

The Oakland A’s extended their winning streak to four games after carving out a 5-2 win last night at the Bronx. Oakland is the best team in the majors in runs produced (301) and ERA (2.91), and will look to decimate the New York Yankees anew tonight. The Yankees have dropped all of their last three home games.

Writer’s Prediction: Oakland cruises past the Yankees.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers (7:00 PM ET)

Line: Toronto Blue Jays (+110) at Detroit Tigers (-120); total: 9.0 – see all MLB lines

[sc:MLB240banner ]R.A. Dickey gets the starting duty for the Toronto Blue Jays, who are aiming to sustain their success on the road. The Blue Jays are now 4-0 in their last four road games. Facing the challenge of Toronto’s offense (6.25 runs per game in last four road games) is Rick Porcello. The Detroit Tigers are 8-2 in Porcello’s last 10 starts.

Writer’s Prediction: Porcello conquers Toronto’s bats to give Detroit a win.

Miami Marlins vs. Tampa Bay Rays (7:10 PM ET)

Line: Miami Marlins (+150) at Tampa Bay Rays (-170); total: 7.0 – see all MLB lines

Back-to-back wins against the Tampa Bay Rays has the Miami Marlins inching closer to the top spot of the NL East division. Stuck in a losing rut, the Rays hope that ace pitcher David Price could end their eight-game losing streak.  The Rays are 7-3 in Price’s last 10 home starts.

Writer’s Prediction: The Rays gets back to the winning column, thanks to a solid outing from Price.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Texas Rangers (8:05 PM ET)

Line: Baltimore Orioles (-105) at Texas Rangers (-105); total: 9.0 – see all MLB lines

Nelson Cruz highlighted the fiery offense of the Baltimore Orioles in the first of their three-game series against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, bashing his 21st homer of the season and helping the O’s to an 8-3 win. Baltimore is staring at a possible fourth-straight victory, while the Rangers’ Nick Martinez will try to silence the O’s offense. The Rangers are 4-0 in Martinez’s last four starts.

Writer’s Prediction: Martinez gets rocked by the O’s. Baltimore wins this game.

New York Mets vs. Chicago Cubs (8:05 PM ET)

Line: New York Mets (+101) at Chicago Cubs (-111) – see all MLB lines

Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-0, 2.45 ERA) gets the nod to start when the New York Mets play at Wrigley Field tonight. The Mets saw their winning streak snapped in the first of their three-game series against the Chicago Cubs. The Mets are 4-1 in their last five games after suffering a loss. The Cubs, meanwhile, are 4-1 in their last five home games.

Writer’s Prediction:  The Cubs deal Mets second straight defeat.
