Lrandon Bang's Response
First off I'd like to apologize to TommyJohn for questioning that LrandonBang weren't actually using his picks. I was wrong. The guys of LB sent me an email message and asked me to relay the following. This is a direct quote from the email:
"First off, we'd like to thank Tommy for always posting the picks promptly and doing everyone a favor in this thread. We had purchased Lang's picks a few years ago and got shelled. When we found this thread we followed it for a while and then decided to start LrandonBang pretty recently. I noticed Tommy said his friend's subscription runs out soon. That's where we come in. Don't worry guys, we will continue to be providing the picks, even when that runs out. Also, we have set up a contact section where you can receive an e-mail or text alert when the picks have been posted.
Thanks again Tommy, and thank you to all the users that have contacted us. Let's keep this FADE goin'."
-It looks we found the solution to our problem once TommyJohn's friend subscription runs out.

Friday ...
10 Dime Pirates - Not only did Florida awaken everyone to what it has to offer, by stuffing the Braves on their own field, but we saw Atlanta's offense pull a disappearing act. And now there's a chance Yunel Escobar will join Chipper Jones on the bench after straining an abdominal muscle. Jones is already out with a bruised thumb. Of course, there's not much to say about Pittsburgh's offense, as it is batting .178 and averaging 1.6 runs in its five losses. The good news is it is batting .353 and averaging 7.5 runs in its four wins. This one being at home, the Bucs are going to have plenty of confidence to break out offensively and stymie Atlanta. It's not impossible, as the Pirates won five of the teams' seven meetings last season, so let's bank on Paul Maholm to lead the Bucs to the win.
10 Dime Orioles - Three straight series wins, a 6-3 mark and now a weekend-set with an AL East rival that is 3-6. Thing is, the Red Sox are the ones with three wins, while Baltimore is the team that has been playing much better during the first couple of weeks. Baltimore started the campaign with series wins over AL East foes New York and Tampa Bay, and then took two of three from Texas this week. Why not keep it going against Boston? And I know the O's generally struggle at Fenway Park, but we're counting on Jeremy Guthrie. He's the only Baltimore starter to make it through six innings. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA thus far, while the O's are on winning runs of 7-2 in his last nine starts following a quality start, 6-2 when he pitches on five days's rest and 5-2 when he pitches in a series opener.
10 Dime Blue Jays - This offense has been quite impressive, wouldn't you say? After outscoring Minnesota 31-13 behind 56 hits in their third straight series win, the Jays are atop the bigs with 77 runs and 128 hits heading into the weekend. Perfect for us, as the Jays have dominated the Athletics of late, having won six straight in this series - including four in a row at Rogers Center. Coincidentally, Toronto's run against the A's has been because of offense, having outscored them 35-10 in the six wins. The Jays won the most recent series by a 21-9 tally. Game 1 could be ugly against young righty Josh Outman, who hasn't earned a decision yet, but does have a rather-high 6.23 ERA. Expect another breakout game by the Jays, as they'll chase Outman early.
5 Dime Dodgers - Five straight wins for the boys in blue, and it's been much in part to the balanced attack that has outscored opponents 37-10 during the streak. And at least five players have gotten a hit in each game, while at least three have driven in one run. That included last night's series finale against NL West-rival San Francisco, as the Dodgers watched seven different players record a hit. On top of that, Dodgers pitchers have allowed two runs or fewer in four of the five wins. And since the Dodgers won five of nine meetings at home against the Rockies last season, confidence will brew for this opener.
5 Dime Astros - Gotta like Houston-ace Roy Oswalt here, as the due theory kicks in thanks to his 0-2 start to the 2009 campaign, not to mention the generous 6.23 ERA he's posted. No time like the present for the right-hander, though, as Oswalt he's been near-perfect in his career against the Reds, sporting a 23-1 mark, along with a 2.47 ERA in 28 career games (26 of them being starts) against them. That remarkable record included an 8-0 mark with a 2.39 ERA in as many starts since suffering his lone loss to the Reds (in Cincinnati) almost three years ago. Even better, Oswalt has held the Reds to one run in each of his last three outings against them, while the Astros won 12 of 15 meetings with Cincy last season. This bonus winner is easy, as we take the 'Stros.
