Picks for June 1

Yankees- Indians pick: Yankees
Though Joba has had some trouble pitching deep into games the Yankees offense is hot and Slowey has typically had problems with the Yankees lineup and Aceves is ready to step in for relief.

Mets-Pirates pick: Mets
Hernandez had a 2.70 ERA in May and though Ian Snell has not been too bad the Mets will come away with this one.

Athletics-White Sox pick: White Sox
The White Sox are returning home after a successful road trip with a resurgent Bartolo Colon. Cahill has lost his last three starts and the A's have struggled to score.

Orioles-Mariners pick: Mariners
Washburn has had some problems lately and Rich Hill got lit up against the Jays. With the Orioles young and talented lineup this game to be a tossup.

Brewers-Marlins pick: Marlins
Suppan has been struggling his last couple of outings and Andrew Miller has had some good ones.

Rockies-Astros pick: Rockies
Another tough call as Oswalt has traditionally had success against the Rockies but has struggled lately.

Reds-Cardinals pick: Cardinals
Volquez is coming off an injury and has his worst outing against the Cardinals, who have quite an impressive home record. Go with the Cards here.

Phillies-Padres pick: Phillies
Blanton and Correia are two starters trending in opposite directions with Blanton turning in a gem and Correia getting roughed up. This match pits a team with a great road record against one with a great home record. Take the Phillies here though based on Blanton's recent turnaround.

Diamondbacks-Dodgers pick: Dodgers
Kuroda is coming off an injury and Buckner had one bad outing so the ERA differential is misleading. What isn't misleading is the vast disparity in the quality of the two offenses.
