Free MLB Pick

The Dodgers had lost 2 straight games with Mike Bolsinger getting the start, but won their last one where he went 7 innings and gave up 2 earned runs in a 9-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He had his best start of the season against the Padres going 8 innings and only giving up 1 hit and 0 earned runs in a 2-0 win. The Dodgers are 4-1 in Bolsinger’s last 5 starts as a favorite. The Padres had won 7 straight games with Shields on the hill, but lost their last one 6-5 to the Atlanta Braves where he went 5 innings and gave up 4 earned runs not getting a decision. He got a win facing the Dodgers earlier this season in L.A. where he went 7 innings and gave up 3 earned runs in the 11-3 win over the Dodgers. San Diego has won their last 4 games at home when Shields has gotten the starting nod.

I think Shields will bounce back from his less than stellar last outing and he will lead the Padres to a win in this game and San Diego will take the series.
