Free MLB Pick
The Tigers starter Kyle Ryan has three starts in his career and it could be said that his stats line shows a regression. We think that he’ll have some up and downs but he does have some talent and could throw a good game here tonight against a team that has scored 1 run in each of their last 3 games and 1 or less in 5 of their last 7. Trevor Bauer pitched a good one in his latest keeping the Cubs off of the score sheet in 7 innings pitched. The Q start was his 6th in his last 7 games and his first after getting lit up for 6 runs in 3 2/3 innings at home against Seattle. That’s the thing with Bauer he is just 2-2 at home with a 5.40 earned run average and the Indians have a losing record in home starts going 3-4 in his 7 outings.
