Free MLB Pick

Shelby Miller has done all that can be asked of him this season with a 77% Q start percentage that rises to 80% on the road. His historical numbers against the Giants are not great overall but most of the damage has been done by Nori Aoki so he will have to keep him in check. The Giants starter Christopher Heston has been struggling with three poor outings of his last four. He has pitched well at home with a 2.77 ERA although in his last start at AT&T he allowed with 5 runs in 5 innings against the Padres. San Francisco owned Atlanta last season winning 5 of 6 games but we don’t have any faith in Heston delivering a solid performance. San Francisco has been putting up runs on the board and should be able to get to Miller and the pen for some and likewise for the Braves against Heston.
