04/09/12 Atlanta (4-2) at Arizona (5-1) Projected Starters: ATL: Stephen Strasburg (2.25 ERA, 1-0) ARI: Edwin Jackson (9.00 ERA, 0-0)
This week PBL Pick'em travels to the Arizona desert, where the surprising Diamondbacks will try to sustain their scorching start against the talented Atlanta Braves.
Phenom Stephen Strasburg will continue to attempt to live up to all the hype that surrounded the 2010 season, and his unexpected Opening Day trade, away from the Washington Nationals. Stras' first two years in Atlanta were underwhelming, to say the least, but a dominant first start against the Houston Astros has Braves fans abuzz in 2012.
Edwin Jackson will take the mound for the D'Backs, following up his 3 inning disaster outing against the rival Dodgers. Jackson was tagged for 5 runs, of which 3 were earned, and allowed 3 walks while striking out two. He'll attempt to rebound this Monday, but will face another potent offense in the Atlanta Braves.

And as for myself: D'backs 7-2 MVP Marc Krauss As a former Strasburg owner, I have little faith.

RESULT:
The Diamondbacks take the Braves 5-3, riding the offensive forces of rookie Marc Krauss. Krauss hit a go-ahead homerun in the 8th inning, to give the D'backs a lead they would not surrender.
Mariners take the victory in round 2!
Let us know what the next Pick'em game is gonna be, Sam. Plenty of good games to pick from on 4/23.
