    Game 1: WP: Lincecum; HR: Renteria
    Game 2: WP: Putz; HR: David Wright
    Game 3: WP: Beckett; HR: Bay

    The match-up for Game 2 is wrong; Vazquez vs. Arroyo is Atlanta at Cincinnati. The Nats / Mets starters are Cabrera vs. Pelphrey.

    Sorry I messed that up, thansk for catching it Raoul. We're going with Braves at Reds this week. Anybody who posted a comment above me can change their picks anytime they want until the games start, and their time stamp counts as their original time posted above.

    Game 2 correction
    WP: J Vazquez
    HR: Bruce

    I thought something seemed off about the original lineup, but I dismissed it as being tired.

    Correcting Game 2:

    WP: Vazquez; HR: Votto. That's what I get for entering contests a half hour after I wake up.
