The weekend should be mundane, so, the Gasman is heading to Dover, Del. for the NASCAR races. The picks (although slim) are here. And a full weekend report will be posted Monday. Enjoy.
Friday
MLB: Braves at Reds — Unbelievably talented youth vs. washed up and aging. Hmm? Edinson Volquez continues to surprise this season with 7-2 record, 76 strikeouts and 33 walks. Throw him against an aging Tom Glavine, and you have a Texas-sized beating. The pick: Volquez and the Reds, 6-2.
Saturday
NHL: Sidney Crosby may have broken out Wednesday night. But the Red Wings are too experienced for a one-game intravenous. Detroit, no matter who scores, will win. It’s been on this posting since the opener. The pick: Octopi all over, 4-1.
Sunday
NASCAR: Dover International Speedway — Who else: Jimmie Johnson. This guy is a maniac at the one-mile, high-banked oval. A few years ago, he spun his car during qualifying, keeping it off of the wall, then finished in the top 10 during the race. That’s racing. He’s been as quiet as Eliot Spitzer these days. The pick: Silence no more. Johnson wins.
