The MLB Picks Baseball season is a long one and because of that teams go into both winning and losing slumps. While following these MLB Picks trends can certainly be a road to profits there are a number of other trends and angles that can help in winning MLB Picks as well. With team matchups being 90% pitching it's important that in selecting and MLB Pick that you understand that impact. Because there are more right-handed pitchers in the Majors teams don't get to see as many lefties during the course of the long MLB Picks season. Because of that teams don't necessarily "load up" their teams to beat left handers with a plethora of right handed hitters. However, there are teams that have great success versus left handed starters and finding out who those teams are can be a way to MLB Picks profits. So, let's take a look at this season's AL Teams successes/failures versus left handed starters this MLB Picks season:

Baltimore - 8-6 (+340); Boston - 12-7 (+320); Chicago WS - 8-5 (+405); Cleveland - 6-6 (+15); Detroit - 10-5 (+540); Kansas City - 9-11 (-150); LAA Angels - 9-8 (+125); Minnesota - 7-9 (-235); NY Yankees - 11-5 (+440); Oakland - 5-12 (-635); Seattle - 10-7 (+380); Tampa Bay - 7-13 (-830); Texas - 12-6 (+575); Toronto - 9-9 (-55).
