Free MLB Pick
These two teams played three UNDERS last week in their first action this season against each other. Rookie pitcher Cody Anderson looked sharp in his first start of the season pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings getting the ND in a 1-0 Indians loss to the Rays. Nathan Karns faced the Indians last week for his first career start versus them and he gave up just one run in 5 1/3 innings. While they could get to the rookie the second time around and Karns does have some flaws we still expect the scoring to be minmal tonight.
