Free MLB Pick
Not too often will you see us back away from betting on a team at plus money that appears to have a big edge in starting pitching but that’s exactly what we’re going to do today. The key word is “appears”. The edge isn’t so large when you dig deeper into the numbers. Arizona starter Chase Anderson has faced two of the better teams in the NL this season giving up 3 runs over 5 innings in his opener to the Dodgers and then pitching 6 innings of 2 run ball against the Padres in his latest. He faces a team that has been inconsistent at the plate failing to score greater than 3 runs in four of their last six games so we expect improvement tonight. The Rangers counter with Nicholas Martinez who has started to show the signs last season. He’s been better than expected this season in two starts allowing zero runs over 14 innings.
