Free MLB Prediction

Arizona starter Archie Bradley started out the season on fire with three Q starts before taking a line drive off of his face on April 28th against the Rockies. Since then he’s allowed 14 runs in 10 2/3 innings in three starts. Chicago starter Alex Wood has been razor sharp in his last three starts all on the road going 2-0 allowing 6 runs (5 earned) over 20 2/3 innings. He has done well against the Diamondbacks’ roster holding them to a .222 average in 27 plate appearances. The trend is to the home team in this series, but until Bradley proves that he is back in form we’ll fade the rookie.
