Firts off the fact that between the two teams there are 1800 places in singles doesn`t really count. Paszek who are better in doubles have barely played in this formula. She is 1-10 on the year in single and no real result in doubles. On the other side we have a very experienced team who  has at least 3.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30334 In the quarterfinals of the ATP Nice Open, Albert Montanes from Spain will face Paul-Henri Mathieu just for the 2nd time in his career. The first one was back in 2007, on clay when Mathieu blew the spaniard away with a 6-1, 6-1 win. The frenchman ha d very modest year and here in Nice he can compensate for that. In the first round he beat young Harrison, followed by an upset, beating world nr. 64 Carlos Berlocq with 6-3 in the decider. On the other side had a little more success but.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30289 In the 1st round of the WTA Strasbourg Open, Elina Svitolina from ukraine will face Flavia Pennetta from Italy just for the first time in her career. Pennetta, well known in the circuit, great experienced player with very good qualities for clay isn`t herself after her comeback. She is 6-7 on the year with losses against players which in the past wouldn`t survive in front of the italian. After roaring through the first two qualifying rounds beating players outside the top200, she really.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30283 The Diamondbacks will head to Coors Field to open a 3-game series against the Colorado Rockies. Season series is led by the D-Backs 4-3 and they turned it around after winning 4 of the previous 5 meetings. This time the pitching match-up will take place between very talented lefty Patrick Corbin who is 6-0 on the season with a 1.52 ERA and experienced right-hander Jon Garland (3-4, 4.89 ERA) who although he gave up just 3 ER in his last 4 starts, he got just 1 win and 3 losses. All 8 games.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30280 The Red Sox will head to U.S. Cellular Field to take on the White Sox. Red Sox are hot right now, 27-17, they have tied the leaders New York Yankees in wins. This time they will bring their ace, Jon Lester (6-2, 2.72 ERA) who is without a loss this season. On the other side Chicago is 19-23 and after getting their longest winning streak of the season (4 in a row), they lost their 2nd  straight yesterday. They will have right-hander Dylan Axelrod (1-3, 4.27 ERA) who last time gave up 3.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30273 In the first round of the WTA Strasbourg Open, Marina Erakovic will take on Monica Niculescu. This will be their first official meeting. With a title allready in her pocket, the romanian Niculescu, now ranked inside the top50 (49th) made other good results like semifinal in Shen Zhen and Monterrey. Still excepting the wins against Robson and Jankovic, she didn`t have to face difficult players and she was favorite in all encounters. She is going through an inconstant period, now being.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30258 In the qualifiers of the Brussels Open, Mallory Burdette will face the lefty Joao Koehler Maria for the first time in her career. I see some value in this bet because Burdette is continuing a great season, reaching the 3rd round in Indian Wells and round of 16 at Charleston where she beat players like Mladenovic and Lisicki. In the first two matches she won only in straight sets against Boeykens and TownsendOn the other side, Koehler, 105th in the world is now 9-9 on the year with her best.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30256  In the first round of the WTA Strasbourg Open, Silvia Soler-Espinosa will take on Eugenie Bouchard for the 1st time in her career. Odds are falling a bit in Espinosa`s favor because she is a way more experience claycourter but I don`t think that is decisive. For example the spanish player didn`t impress this season and I mean even on her main surface. Yes she had a semifinal in Acapulco but that was maily because she had accessible players in front of her. Either then that nothing.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30239 This season`s final of the Busan Challenger will be played between Alex Bogomolov and Dudi Sela. These two have met twice before, 2002 and 2009, on hard, both ending with the same score, straight sets win for Bogomolov. So there is 2+ years between their last meeting. Bogomolov, now 87th in the world didn`t confirm at the big level and this year most of his good results are in the challenger circuit with 2 titles, in Guadalajara and Kunming. On the other side Sela who is 110th in the world.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30238 The Washington Nationals will head to Petco Park to take on the San Diego Padres for the 3rd time in this 4-game series. The Nats won the first two games, 6-2 and 6-5. With Jordan Zimmermann (7-1, 1.69 ERA) they it likely to take the third as well. Jordan has been wonderfull this season. He has yet to go over 3 ER (he gave up 3 ER only once in 8 starts) this season and he brings a career ERA against the Padres of only 1.42. On the other side San Diego will bring lefty Eric Stults (3-3,.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30237 In the qualifiers of the Brussels Open, Shahar Peer will face Kristyna Pliskova, the lefty less-know side of the twins. They met just one time, that was two years ago on hard when Peer won it witha 6-1 in a decider. Peer who fell down to 123rd in the world went through a noticeable bad period, failing to "put something on the board" in the first 3 months of the season. She found some rythm with the claycourt season and now she isn`t looking perfect but better with a quarterfinal.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30209 The Royals will head to O.co Coliseum to face the Oakland A`s. Yestrday Kansas City  won the series in LA against the Angels, bouncing back after being sweept by the Yankees at home. For this one they will bring one of their most constant player this season James Shields (2-3, 2.48 ERA) who`s gone over 4 ER only once in eight starts this season. He is 5-3 with a 4.08 ERA when facing the Athletics. Oakland now 2 games under .500 (20-22) are in an even worst shape then the Royals, now.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30208 The Arizona Diamondbacks will head to Marlins Park to take on one of the weekest team so far this seasom, the Miami Marlins. Bruised with alot of injuries the Marlins are 11-30 and very bad lately. They will throw in right-hander Kevin Slowey who is 1-3 in 8 starts with a very decent 2.55 ERA. In the past he didn`t face tha D-Backs that much but out of a total of 0.2 innings he has a 27.00 ERA. On the other side Arizona who is 5 games over .500 (23-18) are coming back quick after a 3-game.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30199 No doubt the young romanian player is having the run of her life here in Rome. Previously she beat top players like  Hantuchova, Kuznetsova, Radwanska and Vinci, giving up only 1 set ( a tiebreaker). On the other side Jankovic is not the same player as a few years ago and despite she 18th in the world and had better results this season then Halep, when she was facing top player she failed most of the times. At this tournament was the exception, breating Li in straight sets to reachg.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30193  The Cincinnati Reds will head to Marlins Park to take on the Miami Marlins. Yesterday the Reds crushed Miami with a 4-0 win, bringing the season series to 5-1 in their favor. This time Cincinnati will starti with right-hander Matt Latos (4-0, 3.04 ERA) who is kind of in a perfect right now against a team that he never won against (0-3 in his career). More then that, the Marlins will have big holes in their roster, in the hitting department and bullpen and I don`t expect Jose.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30192  The San Francisco Giants will head to Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies. Despite the 5.04 season ERA, Matt Cain, the Giants starter has done a very good job in the past against the Rockies, with 15-7 and 3.11 ERA. He will face Jhoulys Chacin, 3-2 with 2.70 ERA who is 3-4 with a 3.59 ERA in his career against San Francisco. Cain made a big step in his last start (2nd win of the season) when he held the Braves to only 2 runs in 8.0 innings. Giants won the last 9 straight.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30161 In the 2nd round of the Rome Open, Mikhail Youzhny will take on Gilles Simon. They have quite a history against each other, meeting 9 times before with the russian leading it 7-2. It`s no surprise really for me because their playing styles favors this kind of score. Last time they met in 2011 and the only meeting played on clay (which was in that season) was won by Simon in three sets. Youzhny, 30th in the world had some modest matches this season and overall she is far from pleased of.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30157 The Chicago White Sox (15-21) will head to Target Field to take on the Minnesota Twins (18-17) for the 2nd time in this 3-game series. The Twins won the opener 10-3 and they are aiming for their 5th win of their last 7 games, now with one of their best pitchers this season, right-hander Kevin Correia (4-2, 3.09 ERA). He is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA when pitching at home and that is encoraging. The injury list won`t hurt them that much. On the other side the White Sox who are 6 games under .500.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30146 The San Francisco Giants (23-15) will head to Rogers Centre to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (15-24). The Giant who are now in great shape, winning 4 of their last 5 will bring lefty  Barry Zito (3-1, 2.75 ERA). He has been excelent. Excepting the  9 ER against the Brewers, he`s got only outings with 1 or less ER. Big problem for him was run support, now with 3 staight NDs even though he gave up only 1 ER in every one of them. He  will have to face knuckleballer R. A. Dickey.... http://www.worldpicks.eu/show_pick.php?id=30142 In the 1st round of the WTA Rome Open, Sloane Stephens will take on Flavia Pennetta. The two have met two times before, both on clay and both finished with the same outcome, straight sets win for Flavia. This time thogh there will be some differences. First of all Pennetta who is now outside the top100 (104th) has made a 3+ month break before starting this season and she is yet to show the fire that lifted her to 12th in the world because she isn`t close with her 3 wins and 6 losses.....
