Free MLB Pick

As noted San Diego starter Shields has been less than dominate against Atlanta’s roster with Braves batters hitting .270 with a .723 ERA. On the mound for Atlanta is Michael Foltynewicz who has been very average this season with a Q start percentage of 42.9 overall and 25% at home. He’s 31 at home but his ERA would suggest that there are runs to be had tonight. Both teams got shut out two back, but have been lighting the scoreboard up recently with San Diego scoring 5 or more runs in 5 of their last 6 and Atlanta scoring 5 or more in 7 of their last 9.
