Mets (Dickey) vs Braves (Jurrjens)

Hmm... Who to pick who to pick?  I am going to say that the Braves and Jair Jurrjens will get the win here and beat the Mets.  R.A Dickey is a good pitcher but he will not sustain the success he has had so far this year.  You never know what kind of game a knuckleballer is going to throw and I think today he gives up a few runs and Atlanta wins.

Pick: Braves

Pirates (McDonald) vs Diamondbacks (Hudson)

The Pirates finally scored a few runs yesterday and got the win behind the bullpen pitching 8 solid innings.  The need James McDonald to go deep into this game to give their bullpen a rest, and I don't think he is good enough to do it.  I predict that the Diamondbacks win today as they get to McDonald and the bullpen is too tired to keep the Diamondbacks down.

Pick: Diamondbacks
