Free MLB Pick

Cardinals’ starter John lackey has a very solid 2.93 ERA on the season but he hasn’t been as strong on the road with an earned run average of 4.66. He has okay numbers against the current Diamondbacks’ lineup, but he hasn’t pitched well at Coors Field in his career allowing 9 runs including 4 HRs in 12 2/3 innings over two starts. Colorado starter David Hale hasn’t been horrible with a 4.26 ERA in two starts this season, but he did allow more runs in his second start and got taken out of the park three times.
