Free MLB Pick

Two out of his last three starts have been poor, but we trust Cardinals’ starter Lance Lynn to turn it around on a team he will be facing for the first time. The Tribe;s starter Carlos Carrasco will also be making his first start versus today’s opposition, but he hasn’t pitched well this season with just two Q starts on the season and only 1 in his last 5 games. His home ERA of 9.00 makes playing on Cleveland a risky proposition. St. Louis has tailed off losing 3 of 5 after a run of 8 victories, but their bats haven’t gone quiet and a decent start by Lynn should get them back on track tonight.
