The Rockies showed that they could fight for a really dominant win.They have had the taste of victory and we think they will be able to back it up again with another win on Saturday. To top it all off the Diamondbacks are 0-4 in their previous four games against a team in the NL West.

Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals – 4.05PM ET
This Saturday afternoon clash between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals will be the second of a three game mini series. The first game was played on Friday, where the Nationals drew first blood, winning 4-2. Will the Orioles be able to strike back on Saturday? All will be revealed soon!
The Baltimore Orioles are not having the start to the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 17-27 season record. They are at the bottom of the East Division in the American League.
The Orioles have only won two out of their last ten games, including series losses to the Rays and the Yankees. When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are near the back of the pack, with an average of 3.9.
The Washington Nationals are also not having the start to the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 18-23 season record. They are also at the bottom of the East Division in the National League.
They have won five of their last ten games, but they could be turning things around as they have won two of their last three. The Nationals are near the bottom of the pack when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 3.38.
This is a fairly difficult game to pick, as both the teams have similar records, form and score a similar amount of runs. But the thing that tips us over the edge of the Nationals is their recent form. The Nationals were able to get a win over the Orioles on Friday, and we will back them to do it again on Saturday.
MLB Pick – Washington Nationals (-164)

The Cleveland Indians are having a solid season so far, and are currently sitting on a season record of 23-19. They are second in the Central Division in the American League, behind the Chicago White Sox.
They have won five of their last ten games, but they could be turning things around as they have won two of their last three. The Indians are near the middle of the pack when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.08.
Despite the Twins winning on Friday, they are actually 1-7 in their last eight games on the road when playing a team with a winning record. We like the look of the Indians to bounce back here, they are too good of a team to be kept down for too long, and the 10-0 loss on Friday will be the wake up call they need.
MLB Pick – Cleveland Indians (-180)

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants – 7.15PM ET
This Saturday night clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants will be the second of a three game mini series. The first game was played on Friday, where the Dodgers drew first blood, narrowly winning 2-1. Will the Giants be able to strike back on Saturday? All will be revealed soon!
The Los Angeles Dodgers are having the start to the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 26-18 season record. They are in a really competitive West Division in the National League, where they are only in third position, despite a good record.
The Dodgers have impressively won nine out of their last ten games, including series wins to the Diamondbacks and the Marlins. When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are up right near the top, with an average of 5.2.
The San Francisco Giants are also having the start to the season they would have hoped for, they are currently sitting on a 28-16 season record. They are at the top of the West Division in the National League.
They have won seven of their last ten games, which included a five game winning streak which was snapped last game with the loss against the Dodgers. The Giants are smack in the middle of the pack when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.36.
This is a clash between two really good teams and it should be very interesting to watch. The Dodgers are really on fire at the moment, so you can’t really go past them! As well as this, it seems like the Giants aren’t a fan of playing on Saturday, they are 1-4 in their previous five games played on this day.

The Philadelphia Phillies are having a decent start to the season, but it could be better, they are currently sitting on a 22-23 season record. They are sitting in second place in the East Division in the National League.

Boston are a good team playing on the road, and they are actually 16-6 in their last twenty two clashes on the road. The Red Sox are just a better team at the moment and we expect them to come away with another win and another mini series victory again on Saturday night.
MLB Pick – Boston Red Sox (-130)
