Free MLB Pick

We just can’t back a team that has won one game out of their last 8 and are a bankroll crushing 12-20 as a visitor. Both starters have been poor in this situation with Joe Kelly 1-2 with a 6.16 ERA on the road and Alex Wood 0-3 with a 6.00 home ERA, but Wood has owned the Red Sox batters in limited at bats with Boston batters hitting .105 in 19 at bats.
