Free MLB Pick

We like the under here. Both Jason Hammel and Danny Salazar have been solid in this situtation with Hammel 4-2 with a 2.89 ERA on the road this season and Salazar 3-0 with a 3.16 earned run average at home. We also believe that current data shows it is just as likely for either team to score 3 or less runs than exceed that number.
