PICK: MLB Cubs vs Brewers Saturday

Clearly the Cubs are loaded with Talent but there is just something funny about this team.. oh yeah they have the rejected Aaron Heilman... have the Cubs not been watching baseball for the last 3 years? I might be a dog but anyone can do this math: career 4.22 ERA with an 1.47 inning pitched that is not good it means your giving up 4 runs late in the game... good luck with him until you trade him for a minor league player and used car - I don't see you winning much...

Poodle Picks the Brewers..

PICK: MLB Astros vs Cardinals Saturday

The Cardinals have the reigning MVP and pitching staff coming back from injuries... the Astros have a good staff but no depth and very little in batting. I look for the Cardinals to rebound strong in 2009 and play competitive with the Cubs.

PICK: MLB Angels vs Red Sox Saturday

The MLB season is under way and this week I'm focused on 4 MLB Picks. Coming Up I'll be doing the first round of the NBA and Stanley Cup Championships.

The Angels, I think are the sleeper team in the baseball. Playing out west they struggle for air and broadcast time, same with the A's - who are good but will struggle with young pitching staff and no bullpen (A common problem in baseball these days).

In this first week of MLB picks, I think the Angels might not be totally focused on baseball in this series with the Red Sox with the tragic death of their young pitcher (the video was produced before his death) but maybe they can rally together for a weekend sweep.

PoodlePicks: NBA - Spurs vs Cavaliers

Finals Preview? - Ok April Fools (a few days late but I made you laugh). The Cavs are remarkable. Let us hope they don't turn into the Cubs when the Playoffs roll around. David Stern and I both have our paws crossed, praying for that Cavs vs Lakers finals. Lebron should have a huge game and the Cavs will continue to roll on. PoodlePicks the Cavs.

PoodlePicks NBA Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks

There is just something about the Suns... maybe because I hope that someday Shaq and Nash will follow me on Twitter or maybe its just that the Mavericks are not a very good basketball team but I like to pick the Suns. This is a meaningless game, as by time Sunday rolls around one of these two teams or maybe both, will have Zero chance of making the playoffs. My predication, without food by the way... this will be Shaq finally ABC game with the Suns, so one last PoodlePicks for Shaq.

PoodlePicks NHL Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins

The Florida Panthers are my hometown team. However, they are just not that good, probably because they are a cat and cats don't like water. Penguins on the hand do like water and ice and they have a premier goal scorer, Sidney Crosby. On top of all that, they have actually have seen the Stanley Cup, just didn't win it.

I'm taking the Penguins.

PoodlePicks NHL Minnesota Wild vs Detroit Red Wings

I'm keeping the picks rather simple this week. I'm not sure I can do The Masters picks... a lot of PoodlePicks planning going on with Baseball season starting next week and the football schedules coming out soon.

The Red Wings are the A+ team in hockey... there is no picking against them. They are sort of like the Lakers of the NHL.
