Free MLB Pick

Athletics’ starter Jesse Chavez started the season strong on the road, but hasn’t been as sharp in his last three allowing 11 runs in 17 2/3 innings. Angels’ starter Hector Santiago pitched a strong 6 innings against the A’s back in April allowing 3 hits and just one run. He is working off of a weird schedule with that relief appearance in his latest after starting all season. That is a difficult thing to do and if he is even slightly off today that could see his run total go way up. This season six of seven games have gone over the total and that’s exactly where our money is going to land today.
