Free MLB Pick
The lines makers continue to overvalue the Detroit Tigers. They’ve won two of their last ten games and have a pitcher on the mound who is 2-3 at home with a 6.81 ERA. Athletics’ starter Sonny Gray has been fabulous this season going 6-2 with a 1.82 ERA overall and an impressive 2.27 road ERA. His overall stats against the current roster are not great, but we’re talking 19 at bats from today’s available players.
