20* MLB No-Brainer on Toronto Blue Jays -110
Take the Blue Jays over the the Twins in Toronto Monday afternoon. The Twins have been struggling on offense, hitting just .259 as a team and scoring 3.1 runs per game over their last 7 contests. They've struggled on the road all season, posting a 29-38 record, not to mention an 0-6 record at Toronto over the last 3 seasons. Scott Richmond starts for the Blue Jays, and while he doesn't have great numbers, he has put together several quality starts this season, and his low WHIP and solid K/BB ratio make him a good starter to back in the right situations. The Twins throw Jeff Manship, a guy who has decent numbers, but who has just one start (5 innings) and a few relief appearances (12 innings total this year). Toronto's offense has struggled of late, but they do have a potent line up and should pick up the win over Minnesota this afternoon

Al DeMarco Monday's Play 5 Dime - Colorado (Jimenez) - 1 1/2 Runs over Cincinnati (Bailey)
The Reds have won seven straight and 12 of 14, but the good times come to an end today at Coors Field against a Colorado club that's bounced back from a five-game losing streak by going 5-1 on its current homestand, completing a three-game sweep of Arizona yesterday with a 13-5 rout.
The Rockies, who have won 34 of their last 48 at home, send Ubaldo Jimenez to the hill. The righthander 6-1 with a 1.84 ERA in his last seven outings, and he's won his last four starts at Coors, posting a 1.47 ERA.
Jimenez is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three previous starts versus the Reds, whom Colorado has defeated in each of the last five meetings.
The Reds counter with Homer Bailey, who recently has lived up to his long unfulfilled promise by winning his last three starts, a stretch in which his earned run average was 1.69. However, for the season the righthander has allowed 116 baserunners in just 76.1 innings and carries a 5.90 ERA into this contest despite his recent successes.
Bailey has been hit hard in losing both previous career starts against the Rockies, allowing 22 hits and nine earned runs in 10 innings, and those outings came in Cincinnati - not at hitter-friendly Coors Field.
This is another must-win for Colorado, which holds a slight two-game edge over San Francisco in the N.L. Wildcard race. Considering the pitching match-up and the Rockies play at home this season, reducing this price to around -125 or -130 by laying 1 1/2 runs with Colorado is a wise investment.

yea, look....I feel like we need to just get some buy groups going for these picks!
Jordan is already covered and it looks like someone has been posting Lang....I think we should pool up and get Redd. Nover is also interesting, given the fact he has won every year in the NFL so I wouldn't mind getting his package.
Karl Garrett and Cannon (though brutal lately) should be considered as well. It make alot more sense to buy these guys over the long term than always spending $30 for one days worth of picks.
If Valentino releases a play, we'll have to grab it on a daily basis but at least we'll have the rest of the picks.
