Free MLB Pick

Both starters have been sharp in recent outings, but historical statistics suggest that the batters on both teams will have some success tonight. Scoring hasn’t been an issue for either team with the Braves scoring four or more in eight of their last ten games and the Mets have put up five or more runs on the board in three of their last four. Following the over trend in this series in 2015 has been profitable with five of the six games going over the total line. We’re betting that the trend will continue tonight.
