Free MLB Pick

No way do we lay that big of a number and take the Athletics in this spot. Scott Kazmir has been great at home with a 1.63 but the team is only 3-5 in his eight starts at home this season. Roenis Elias has been struggling as of late getting hammered for 17 runs (16 earned) in 14 innings over his last three. That aside he has pitched well on the road for the most part getting a Q start in 83.3% of his starts and he has had success against tonight’s opponent. The Mariners put up 12 runs on the board in their last two, but both of these teams are more likely to score three or less runs per game this season.
