Free MLB Pick

Peavy looked poor in two outings back in April and has been sidelined since, so we’re not expecting a top flight effort or for him to go deep in the game. Gonzalez has so so numbers against the Giants’ lineup, but he’s been very good at home with an earned run average of 2.65 and Washington has won five of his six starts at Nationals Park. No way do we lay 1.5 odds on this game but we’ll take a shot on the runline.
