MLB Game Picks - Thursday: May 23, 2013
Wednesday was a decent day. The Game of the Day feature is on a bit of a losing streak. And a couple of games were surprises. The Nationals / Giants game was fantastic, but the pick got the final tally wrong. The Rangers winning behind Ross Wolf was a complete surprise. But overall, at least it was a positive day after several not so positive days.

Another Blanton stinker sinks the Angels as they fall 11-4 to the Royals

Blanton Shows Up, Offense Doesn't; Angels Lose to Orioles 5- 1
Joe Blanton showed up tonight. The rest of the Angels? Nope. Joe came in and threw 8 strong innings (an Angels first) giving up 2 earned runs. Chris Tillman, the Fountain Valley High kid, just wanted it more. He came in and shutdown the Halos through 8 innings, giving up only 3 hits.

Joe Blanton Player Profile & Projections
By Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer --
2013 Outlook: So clearly Joe Blanton isn't the "Big Splash" that everyone was thinking of when the Angels acquired a pitcher during the offseason. No one is here to argue that. However, like Hanson, Joe could prove to be a "Value Splash" based on a recent history (since 2010) of increased strikeouts...
Dodgers complete Blanton trade by sending O'Sullivan to Philly
