Hi all...you may have noticed that the MLB Lines weren't updating very often as they had once in the past.  Well, we have found the issue, and it had to do with our ISP all of the sudden cancelling all of our cron jobs.  Therefore, we are in the process of recreating them, but things should be back up to normal again in no time.  Thanks for understanding.

Just a quick update.  We apologize for the lack of a free MLB pick for today as we are currently investigating why the MLB Lines are not coming up.  Once we resolve this we will be able to continue providing you with Free MLB Picks.

10 Years ago today an aging David Wells pitched a perfect game.  27 batters up, 27 batters down.  Congratulations to him for posting one of the greatest feats in baseball.  Since that time, only Randy Johnson has pitched a perfect game (2004).  Not sure when the next one will come, but let's just hope he is on your fantasy team when that person does.  Below is the boxscore of the game, and note he struck out 11 to top it all off.

Yesterday we took the Cardinals and the flaky Kyle Lohse as the underdog pick.  He is an on again, off again type of pitcher, so you know his mental state is about as steady as one of those bobble head dolls.  Anyways, let's look at the boxscore for his first inning:

Bottom 1st: Colorado

Pitch F/X is a somewhat new technology created by Sportvision that allows you to see almost every imaginable stat about a pitch. You can see what the speed was when the ball was released vs. what is was when it reached the plate. Probably the main thing is that you can see by how many feet/inches a ball broke during a particular pitch. Unfortunately, this data wasn't around back in 1998, as I would love to see the statistics for Kerry Wood's 20K game. Today is the 10th Anniversary of that game, and if you watch the clip below, pay particular attention to the 20th K as that amount of feet that pitch broke is absolutely unbelievable. The question is are there any other potential 20K'ers out there today.

If you came to the site within the past couple of days and just happened to get a "site offline" message, we apologize.  We have upgraded the site's backend to help increase performance and make some bug fixes.  We are now going to start adding new features to the site, specifically vote tracking so that we can determine who the true star pickers are.  We'll let you know when it happens!
